[name_m]Hi[/name_m], my partner and I are liking the name [name_f]Celia[/name_f] at the moment but are worried it may be a bit too old fashioned. Does anyone have any thoughts on the name or have suggestions for alternatives?
What other girl names do you think would work for siblings?
Thanks
I think it doesn’t sound dated at all! [name_f]Pretty[/name_f]! 
Selena’s, Selene’s, Celina’s, Cecile’s are all pretty modern and loved rn.
I think it’s lovely. It makes me think of the As You Like It character.
I really like [name_f]Celia[/name_f]! It doesn’t sound dated to me. In fact, I think it’s very ready for revival.
For siblings, maybe –
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] is bright and charming - sophisticated but sweet.
Siblings:
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Tilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Dora[/name_f]
Some similar/alternatives to [name_f]Celia[/name_f]:
Celine/Celine
[name_f]Adelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cerelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Carina[/name_f]
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] is gorgeous! One of my good friends is named [name_f]Celia[/name_f], and she is college-aged and wears it well!!
Sisters for [name_f]Celia[/name_f]:
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
I’d honestly be more likely to go with [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Celia[/name_f] reads a little too close to celiac for me which is a little too disease reminiscent.
I love [name_f]Celia[/name_f]. And it’s actually related to [name_u]Celeste[/name_u], not [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], so it has that better meaning. (“Heavenly” versus “blind”.)
Other names that strike me as similar OR would with well as sisters:
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Hanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_u]Marie[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
I was just thinking today that SOMEONE must name her child Celia![quote=“guineapigsandrabbits, post:1, topic:435792, full:true”]

[name_f]Celia[/name_f] is not old fashioned at all. I prefer [name_f]Celie[/name_f], but I find [name_f]Celia[/name_f] to be a modern name (yes, it is modern for me!) yet with a classical or Renaissance background. It is light, celestial and not frilly, but with an elegance. The meaning is good. It has flair and it is a mature name - which is good. It is not too childish. It is a fine name.
