Help[Opinions] Re: Cecily & Cecilia
in reply to a message by Bex
Hi !!!
I'm Italian so I pronounce Cecilia as "cheh-CHEE-lyah"
1 I prefer Cecilia.
I don't like its meaning "blind" but I think it has a good sound. It is aristocratic and elegant but not snobbish for me.
2 Cecilia is not too catholic.
I know that Cecilia is the patron saint of music and musicians so I think it is poetic and I would use it.
And also there is a beautiful oil painting by Raphael (St. Cecilia altarpiece) that I love. Look for it. XD
3 Cecilia "Cecily"
Nooooo!!! It is too long and frilly.
4 In Italy we have a short of Cecilia: Ceci (English pron. CHEH-chee) but I think it is awful.
For Cecily and Cecilia as you pronounce them I can suggest Celia and Sissy.
Cecily: I like it but less than Cecilia.
I think it could be a wonderful name for a character (a Medieval story especially but also a story that is set in 19th century) because it is classic, simbly but with a good melody.
Byeeeeeee
