I think a name that starts with a consonant is best to make the transition from the -a more natural; I also think a two-syllable name with the emphasis on the second syllable sounds best. So though [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is my favorite name overall of your middles, [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is my pick! [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is nice but [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is so much more interesting. Other possibilities:

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Corrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marine[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]

I like the flow of [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] the best.

[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]!

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] got my vote.

I prefer a shorter (1-2 syllable) middle with a long, frilly name like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], so [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] doesn’t really work [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. The other three options are nice, but all have a prominent “i/ee” sound like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] so don’t quite work to my ear. [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] avoids this and the flow is perfect.

Thanks everyone! It looks like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] are the winners of the poll.

Does anyone have any more suggestions for us? :slight_smile:

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is lovely! [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is strong but simple and grounds the frillier [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], while also being refreshingly unusual and different.
