[Opinions] Re: Ivy
I absolutely adore the name Ivy!! It's short and spunky so I think a longer, classic middle name would work wonderfully.Ivy Cecilia has a nice flow even if I'm not a fan of Cecilia.I think I prefer Ivy because I never hear it whereas Rose I hear a lot. As a middle name, of course, but it seems like in recent works of historical fiction the heroine is always called either Elizabeth or Rose. So I vote for Ivy!

I understand that. My love of Cecilia/Cecelia stems from a love of Simon & Garfunkle. Rose is a family name for him... and I like the mental imagery I get from the name, but it is much more common, I agree.

Rose is a family name for me as well. Probably for a lot of people. I don't dislike Rose by any means! Cecelia just seems a little eel-ish and slippery for me but I like the "v" in Ivy that evens it out.
