CecilyCecily is pretty and reminds me of an 1800s belle. Cicely sounds sissified and sounds like it could be the protagonist of a Dr. Seuss book called 'Silly Cicely' or something similar.

Cecily is my preference. I think because Cicely just sounds like the city.
Cecily Plum? :)

Cicely has a better sound but unfortunately shares it with Sicily which makes it sound like a word name and also creates spelling errors. Cecily on the other hand sounds pretentious, but won't be as confusing.

I prefer Cecily. It's the variant I am the most familiar with and it has a nice medieval association. Cicely doesn't look as good to me, I can't even really say why. But I pronounce them slightly differently and just prefer the sound and look of Cecily. The only thing I really dislike about it is the meaning.Cicely Mary is cute but the both end in -ee sounds, Mary Cicely flows better. Cecily Rose - boring but lovely
Cecily Amanda
Cecily Noelle
Cecily Joanna
Cecily Alice
Cecily Margaret
Cecily AnneOhhh and maybe you also like Margery and Amity?
