My late Dad was one of the last of the Cecils, though there are a couple of young ones where I live, playing competitive sport at top level so it can happen.

I'd have happily used Cecily, given enough daughters. But not Cecil. It happens, when it happens, in a segment of society that isn't mine, plus there's the colonial hang-over of Cecil John Rhodes! And the possibility that he might have to explain that it was actually Sessil, not Seesil!
