Nicknames for Cyrilla?

Name Advice
1

[name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Cirilla[/name_f], not sure which I prefer right now.

I’m trying to avoid [name_f]Ciri[/name_f] “Siri” for obvious reasons.

All I can think of is [name_m]Cyril[/name_m] which isn’t my style for a little girl or [name_f]Cilla[/name_f] which is cute but would people assume her name was [name_f]Pricilla[/name_f]?

Some middles I like are;
[name_f]Ysella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvaine[/name_f]
[name_u]Rune[/name_u] / [name_f]Runa[/name_f]
If you can make any nicknames using this maybe?

Thanks for your help!

I don’t think that people assuming her name is Priscilla is a big deal! You could correct them pretty easily. Cilla is a cute nickname.

Some other ideas are Cyra (Sira), Lila, Lily, Ri, Cece, Cilly (like “silly”), Cia (like Sia) or just C (like “see”).

[name_f]Cilla[/name_f] is cute, and there are lots of nicknames that have a variety of full name options (Maddie and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] for example), so I don’t think that people will assume her full name is [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f], and if they do it wouldn’t be a big correction.
I love the ideas of [name_f]Cyra[/name_f] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as nicknames! I can’t think of anymore that come from just [name_f]Cyrilla[/name_f], but incorporating middles, maybe [name_f]Cyrilla[/name_f] Rune/Runa “Luna”?

I think [name_f]Cilla[/name_f] works just fine! I wouldn’t automatically assume [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f], just that it was short for something.

[name_f]Cyra[/name_f]
Rill
[name_f]Rilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_m]Cy[/name_m]
[name_f]Cici[/name_f]

I don’t think people will automatically assume [name_f]Cilla[/name_f] is for [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f]. [name_f]Cilla[/name_f] is a nice choice!

[name_f]Cyrilla[/name_f]: [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f]

[name_f]Cyrilla[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]: [name_f]Celie[/name_f], [name_f]Lainey[/name_f], [name_u]Ciel[/name_u]

[name_f]Cyrilla[/name_f] [name_u]Rune[/name_u]: [name_m]Cru[/name_m]

Rilla is the first that come in mind. Other suggestions:

Lila
Lili / Lilli / Lilly / Lily
Ril
Elli / Ellie
Cici
Lala / Lalla
Ria
Rilly
Cyra
Cece
Riri
Cia
Ci / C
Cillie / Cilly

Cyrilla Lucy: CL, Cilu / Cilou, Lou, Rilu / Rilou, Lilou / Lilu, Luri, Lucy, Luli
Cyrilla Sage: CS, Cisa, Risa, Lisa, Sali, Sari, Sacie
Cyrilla Wren: CW, Cren, Len, Ren, Cyrew, Cray
Cyrilla Matilda: CM, Cilda, Cylma, Cyma, Cimmie, Rimmie, Rittie, Cittie, Ciddie, Cyd, Cym, Cyl, Remy, Yilti, Rilma, Rilda

And no, Cilla does not mean Priscilla only for me.

[name_m]Cy[/name_m], like [name_m]Cy[/name_m] Twombly, or [name_f]Rilla[/name_f], like [name_u]Anne[/name_u] Shirley’s daughter.

You’ve had a lot of good suggestions already.
[name_f][/name_f]I’d suggest Silka or [name_f]Silky[/name_f].

[name_f]Rilla[/name_f] came first to mind! [name_f]Cici[/name_f] and [name_f]Cyra[/name_f] too.

10

[name_f]Cela[/name_f] (see-la)
[name_f][/name_f]I think it could be totally usually since the original name has both sounds

11

[name_f]Cilla[/name_f] is the most instinctive for me

[name_f][/name_f]

Other suggestions:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Cy[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]C
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cece[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rilla[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Cil
[name_f][/name_f][name_u]Irie[/name_u]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lassie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_u]Lacy[/name_u]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lara[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cyra[/name_f]
