We are expecting our second girl in [name_f]April[/name_f]! Trying to find a name that goes well with our daughters name [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], nicknamed [name_f]Cece[/name_f]. Here’s what me and DH have somewhat agreed on…
[name_m]How[/name_m] exciting for you! [name_f]Cece[/name_f] is darling and so are the names on your list so far!
I cannot express how much I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] with the nn [name_u]Joey[/name_u], and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] are wonderful. it’s so nice to see [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] there too, I’m not sure you could go wrong with any of the names on this list.
I suggest
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]/[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] nn [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is a perfect sister to [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]! I also love [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]

[name_f]Leona[/name_f] nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_f]Prudence[/name_f] nn [name_f]Prue[/name_f]
Of this list I’m really feeling [name_f]Viola[/name_f] nn [name_f]Vi[/name_f] for you.
From your list, [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Veronica[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] are the standouts with [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. Yoiu could use [name_f]Molly[/name_f] with any of the [name_f]Mary[/name_f]-names-- [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], [name_f]Marina[/name_f], [name_f]Maribel[/name_f], etc.
From your lists I really like these as [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]'s sister: [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (not keen on [name_f]Louise[/name_f]).
I like [name_u]Joey[/name_u], and don’t mind [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] but prefer [name_u]Joey[/name_u] for [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]. [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] works, just not my favourite. I love [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] but not as [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]'s sister. I’m not keen on [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] and they sound hard next to [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f].
I like pp suggestions of [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]/ce, [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f].
I love the name [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]! If my husband’s last name didn’t sound like a HP villain’s, I’d have used it.
I also love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], though I personally prefer [name_f]Posey[/name_f] or Phina as a nn to [name_u]Joey[/name_u].
[name_f]Briony[/name_f] is perfect but is the sister to [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] in Atonement!
I like [name_f]Louise[/name_f] but marginally prefer [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] as a name - though [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is cooler with [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] too!
Otherwise:
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f] or Maisie
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]/ [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] nn [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] (though [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] would go a little more)
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
I also like some of the other names but I think these few suit [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] the most! My top pick for you would be [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f] are perfect with [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. I don’t love [name_u]Joey[/name_u], but [name_u]Jo[/name_u] and [name_u]Josie[/name_u] are cute. From pps I also like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] best!
Also like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] with:
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (nickname [name_u]Jo[/name_u]/[name_u]Joey[/name_u])
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ([name_u]Penny[/name_u])
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (nickname [name_u]Lou[/name_u]) sound like one name…[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] ([name_u]Alex[/name_u]) is pretty, but so 1990’s
[name_f]Maryjane[/name_f] (MJ) makes me think of marijuana
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is too cutesy next to [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] is a classic, pretty name. These are more old-fashioned than classic, and not pretty, [name_f]IMO[/name_f]:
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] ([name_f]Winnie[/name_f])
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] with [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] take it in a more bouncy vintage direction, while [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] go toward strong, classic antiques. However, they all fit together; if you had [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and then [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], they would still sound great together.
The nicknames also all work. FWIW, I’m an [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] (most of the time [name_u]Alex[/name_u]) and I love my name.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is my favorite from your list. I would also suggest [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Violetta[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]/[name_u]Joey[/name_u]. I’ve been [name_u]Joey[/name_u] to my family since I was born, and I’ve loved having that name.
