using Celia as an anagram of Alice. I'm sure Pavlos the Anagram King would approve! I also honor honoring, even in a sort of sideways approach like this. Points for creativity. :-)

I like Celia mainly as a nn for Cecelia. I prefer Cecelia to Cecilia, because I prn it seh-SEEL-yah, and if the emphasis is going to be on a long E sound in the second syllable, then it only makes sense to me to spell it with an E in that spot.

I agree with Array that using a mn starting with a vowel makes pronunciation awkward. With a 3-syl fn, either long or short names work as mn's. How about
