I posted about Celia a couple of days ago and then didn't get back to check it and answer the comments so I'm sorry for that! But here I'm posting about Celia again.

I am pronouncing it like SEEL-yah just so you know and here are some combos I've been considering. Which do you think flows the best and are there any other middle names you can think of?

Celia Adelaide
Celia Adeline
Celia Alice
Celia Evelyn (eva-linn or EVE-linn?)
Celia Emmeline (em-eh-LINE)
Celia Madeline (mad-eh-LINE)
Celia Irene
Celia Juliet
Celia Rachel
Celia Raquel

Thanks, Laurie!

I like Celia Madeline.

Have you also considered Celia Rosalind?

Celia Adelaide - my favorite
Celia Evelyn - the EV-e-lin pronunciation.

I babysit a little girl named Celia (now age 6)... her full name is Celia Bette and her brother (age 4) is named Ari Steven

I like it - my grandmother always calls me this by way of a nickname. :)

I love Celia, recently even more than Cecilia. I also love Cecily (maybe a tiny bit more than Celia, actually). From your list I like/love*:

Celia Adelaide*
Celia Adeline
Celia Evelyn - I'd go with EV-eh-lyn on this one because the other would be too 'eee' heavy, I think
Celia Emmeline
Celia Juliet
Celia Raquel

Some other suggestions:
Celia Blythe
Celia Ingrid
Celia Rosalie / Rosemary / Rosalind / Rosamund
Celia Ruby
Celia Eleanor
Celia Adele
Celia Giselle
Celia Gwendolyn
Celia Josephine
Celia Vivienne
Celia Meredith
Celia Pearl
Celia June
Celia Maeve

Thanks so much for your comments, I do really like Celia Adelaide (which I think you had suggested on a previous post) but I also like the others! :)

Celia Evelyn - You are right, SEEL-yah eve-linn would be a bit 'eee' heavy, but I'm not sure I really like EV-eh-lyn very much, at least not as much as the Eve one. Hmm...

From your other suggestions I like:
Celia Rosalie / Rosalind ~ proplem is I already have Anna Rosalie on my list and I don't like to duplicate very often. Celia & Rosalind are really cute together, especially because 'As You Like It' is one of my most favorite Shakespeare combos! :)
Celia Eleanor ~ lovely but I already have Eleanor Sophia.
Celia Adele ~ I considered it but I don't think I like it as well as Celia Adeline or Celia Adelaide.
Celia Gwendolyn ~ pretty but a bit long?
Celia Meredith ~ lovely, but I have several Mary sounding combos and I'm not quite sure I like Meredith enough yet to put it on my favorites list.
Celia Pearl ~ lovely but I have Jocelyn Pearl.
Celia Maeve ~ lovely but the Irish just doesn't seem to match Celia somehow.
