I've always loved it, and one of my daughters would have been Celia for sure if she hadn't looked more like something else.One of the nicer Shakespeare heroines, too! (In As You Like It, she's the romantic lead's cousin and best friend, and a refreshingly practical girl: when everyone else is being megadramatic, she announces that she's going to sleep, and does.)

I like it. It might be better for a middle name, though.

I like the Spanish prn but the English one leaves me cold. Celia sounds like an older lady's name. I prefer Cecilia.

I like it. I really like Cecilia, and it's my nn of choice. It's fine on its own as well, though I personally prefer it as a nn. I actually knew a girl named Celia once, and it's the only time I've heard the name. It was her full name.

I like it. I added it to my list sometime last week, actually.

I love it but hubby thinks it sounds too much like Celie from The Color Purple.....

I think it's cute and quite pretty. I've been warming up to it and I prefer it to Cecilia / Cecelia.

I like Celia because it's less lispy than Cecelia.

I don't like it. For one, it's too close to celiac. But mostly I can't really explain why. I think I just don't like the sound of it and it sounds nicknamey or incomplete.
