Help[Opinions] A lovely idea
in reply to a message by Idony
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
Celia Marguerite
Celia Fleur
Celia Joan
Celia Demetria
Celia Natasha
Celia Salome
Celia Phoebe
Celia Tatiana
Celia Claudia

Thanks. Of your suggestions I like:
Celia Marguerite
Celia Demetria- My grandpa's name is Dimitri, so I'd be happy to use this.
Celia Natasha- I prefer Natasa, my grandma's name.
Celia Phoebe
Celia Tatiana
Celia Claudia- L's Dad was named Claudio, so it would be nice to use this. I'm not sure about it with Celia though.
