I think it goes. I personally pronounce it See-lyuh. I think it is lovely and quite classic without being very mainstream (i.e. Mary, Elizabeth, Catherine). I also think it looks better and sounds better than Cecelia.

I love Celia and always have, and I pronounce it SEE-lee-a.

---

With August and Dorian it would be fine; could be a tad too formal with Maisie.

I love Celia, which I usually pronounce "SEEL-yah." Also, I think it fits quite well with August and Dorian; however, I'm not particularly fond of it as a sister to Maisie.

Love it, a personal favorite for a nn for Clefairies. That pink poke'mon that lives on Mt. Moon. If its good enough for my Poke'mon, it's good enough on a child.

I love Celia. I pronounce it SEEL e ya. I think it's a beautiful underused classic. your other names seem to be in the same category. Rock on!

I find it romantic, beautiful and adorable - but I still can't really say that I like it. I say SEE-lee-ə and I think it goes very well with August and Dorian, not Maisie though. Maisie is too nicknamey and doesn't have the same connections as August, Dorian and Celia have.

I put a carat and a 3 and the entire message didn't show up....wow.

Okay. LOVE.

---

SEEL-yuh or SEE-lee-uh, it doesn't matter much to me. When I pronounce them, there isn't much of a difference.

---

August, Dorian, and Celia all work together. Maisie seems a bit out-of-place. I think "cat" or something when I hear Maisie, while August, Dorian, and Celia give a more mature vibe.

---

If you're set on Maisie, though, it can fit. Not perfectly (at least IMO), but I'd rather see August, Celia, Dorian, and Maisie than...I don't know, a female name that starts with a B.

I know a little girl named Celia (See -lee-uh). I like it. It seems to be making a comeback.

I think it's pretty, but nothing to write home about. I pronounce it SEEL-yuh, and I think it goes fine with the other names.

I pronounce it Celia. I like it a lot.

---

I think it goes pretty well with your boys names. Not sure about Celia and Maisie-- Celia seems a lot more mature.

I think Celia (seel-yuh) goes really well with your other names!

I love Celia. It's so crisp and clean. I suppose I pronounce it "SEEL-yuh," but there isn't much difference between the two pronunciations when I say them anyway.

---

Of course classic Celia belongs in the same blood line as August, Dorian and Maisie. But if you should happen to run out of birth control and need more female names, how about:

---

Adele, Evelyn, Virginia, Hazel, Anne (Nan?), Daphne / Laura / Laurel, Ellen (Nell?), Julie, Bryony, Jessamine, Glynis, Bridget, Nora.

---

Could I interest you in Marjorie instead of Maisie? I love Maisie too, don't get me wrong. But for some reason I see Celia and Marjorie together and to do that I have to blow up Maisie. :-)

Love it! Underused, interesting, beautiful, and a great meaning. I pronounce it SEEL-yuh. It definitely goes with your other top names.

I like it, and I think it goes with your top names because it has that same charming, vintage feel. (except Dorian) I pronounce it SEE-lee-uh.
