[Opinions] Cecily or Cicely?
Replies
Depends on the pronunciation, surely?
I'd use Cecily because Cecil is a family name on both sides; plus, I prefer the e sound to the i sound here.
Cecily Anne
Cecily Beatrice
Cecily Clare
Cecily Dorette
Cecily Eva
Cecily Frances (sounds lovely, but two fem forms of male names are two too many)
Cecily Giselle
Cecily Helen
Cecily Imogen
Cecily Jean
Cecily Karen
Cecily Margaret
Cecily Norah
Cecily Olwen
Cecily Prudence
Cecily Ruth
Cecily Susan
Cecily Therese
Cecily Valmae
Cecily Winona

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 Anne
Ohhh and maybe you also like Margery and Amity?
