I like Cecilia better.

I dont think it's too trendy-but then again, I'm living in japan so I dont know! I dont know anybody except my grandma with that name though!

I haven't heard that name in a loooong time; definitely not trendy. I think it's very nice!

I would spell it Cecilia.

I hate the name.

[identity profile] ifancylust.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
i would spell it cecilia too, but cecelia isn't too bad. you could also opt for celia or similar names. some suggestions:
cecile (not nearly as popular as cecilia)
cia
ellie
lia
lucia
mia
mina
mira
nia
nydia
rhea
sarina
sela
sylvia

I like Cecilia better, but it's a nice name either way.

I like Cecilia - really pretty, lots of good nicknames.

I like it a lot, spelled Cecilia.

[identity profile] solyma.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
it's alright, but i believe its meaning is "blind". i don't know if that would deter you from it or not.

[identity profile] lipsandhips.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
its a fine name, and sounds fine with the last name.

my office-mate's name is cecilia and i disagree with this "lots of nicknames" thing. and its a mouthful to say as is. and the only nickname is really c.c. or ceese (if you tried to say cc) and those arent really appropriate for the work-environment.

i guess theres also sissy and seal. but....YUCK.

I think it's beautiful

[identity profile] colin-chaotic.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Cecilia Conti sounds beautiful together, and it's not really popular - I know I've met at least one Cecilia, but I can't remember anything specific.

(Also, I had to grin at your last name - *points at icon*)

[identity profile] ewaeva.livejournal.com 2006-02-23 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wait, I thought of another idea - what about Celia?

I think that's very pretty. Although I really like Cecilia, some people have said it's a bit of a mouthful. Celia Conti sounds beautiful - classy and elegant and cute, too - both for a little girl and a grown woman.

Also, you avoid the etymology of Cecilia - it comes from the word for "blind" as someone's mentioned already. Celia's root word is caelum - Latin for heaven :)

I like it better as Cecilia. Cecilia Conti looks better to me than Cecelia Conti. Pronounced the same way. I dont think its too trendy at all.

Spelled Cecilia, I adore that name.

St. Cecilia is the patron of musicians, so that's always been a favorite of mine. :)

I like it, but I do not like the possible "Cici" nickname.

[identity profile] georgey629.livejournal.com 2006-02-23 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Beautiful. I think it's both classy and cute. I prefer Cecilia, but I like both spellings. It does sound good with your last name

[identity profile] anapology.livejournal.com 2006-02-23 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Cecelia is beautiful. I'm a fan of any 'lia' name
Amelia, Cecelia, Ophelia...lol all of them!
I don't think it's trendy at all. Possibly too old/posh if anything...
Cecelia Conti goes very well.

[identity profile] anapology.livejournal.com 2006-02-23 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Just read the other comments & it seems i'm the only one who prefers the spelling Cecelia!
Lia is a wonderful nn.

[identity profile] iheartjcchasexy.livejournal.com 2006-02-24 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Cecelia (nn Celia) is one of my favorite names! I think it works well with your last name. :)

What middle names where you thinking of? My favorite combination is Cecelia Margaret. ...so pretty. *sigh*
