Help[Opinions] Re: Celia
in reply to a message by Idony
I love it. I do not think it's corny, and while it wouldn't count as honouring for me personally, if you'd use it in your sister's honour, then it's honouring for you.
You know what is corny? My favourite Celia combo: Celia Rosalind! :D
I like Celia Delphine, but I wouldn't put a name beginning with a vowel after Celia, because you get an unfortunate little glottal stop if you do.
If you need some help convincing your man that Celia's gorgeous, just pull out William Ernest Henley's "The Ballade of Ladies' Names"--here's the verse that mentions Celia:
Sentiment hallows the vowels of Delia;
Sweet simplicity breathes from Rose;
Courtly memories glitter in Celia;
Rosalind savors of quips and hose,
Araminta of wits and beaux,
Prue of puddings, and Coralie
All of sawdust and spangled shows;
Anna's the name of names for me.
Now, isn't that lovely sounding? :) I think it's a perfectly beautiful little name.
