[Opinions] Re: Mae.
in reply to a message by Siri
I'm getting tired of Cecilia. Offhand I can think of three families that welcomed new Cecilias in the last couple of years, and since I barely know people who are at a point in life to procreate and don't go out of my way to associate with babies, that's kind of a lot. Cecilia's everywhere on the board, too, which probably accounts for how overdone I'm starting to find it. It reminds me of Isabel: maybe it was pretty at one point, but then seeing it in combos started to get that distinct dead horse feeling. Mae is nice, one of those names that I like to see other people use but it's not going to make my own favorites list. It's worth mentioning that I love Mame, though; funny what a difference a letter can make. ETA: I have a young cousin named Cecilia Maeve. No wonder it sounded like the name of someone I knew. :-)

Really?I highly dislike Cecilia to be honest, but it's one of the few names that much be used. :-(

Yep, lots of Cecilias. I know a family with a Clayton, Abigail, Cecilia, Grace, and Magdalene--all nice enough names, IMO, but a couple of popularity red lights that are everywhere suddenly (Abigail and Grace; at least they feel like they're everywhere) makes Cecilia feel like it's being given to dozens of fetuses as we speak.

I've noticed it in a few places as well.Someone I know recently had a Zoe Cecilia, her first was Grace Katherine. Hmm. Made I can talk him into Celia then.
