    What do you think?

    I know it is really really early but it took me the whole pregnancy with DD2 to get one name DH liked so my list starts now.

    We wont be finding out the gender but I am concinved we are having another girl.
    My favs are -

    Cicily
    Cecelia or Celia
    Sabine
    Sedona

    I don't like shortening names and that is why I think Celia over Cecelia. DD1 is Amel!a (NN is chooky) and DD2 is M@cey (NN is MooMoo). I like Latin names so any others similar you could suggest would be nice.

    I love the name Cecelia - reminds me of my favourite Simon and Garfunkle song .

    Not too keen on the other names.

    I love Cecelia, the only thing that puts me off is that it rhymes with your DD1's name. For that reason I would vote Ciciliy or Sabine. Not keen on Sedona, sorry.

    I think Cecilia and Amelia are too similar. I like Sabine. Not a fan of the other names though.

    Angelica
    Imogene

    I love Sabine and I think Cicily over Celia just because of the rhyming thing as well.

    I like Cicily, Cecelia, & Celia. I kinda like the spelling Cecily a bit better though.

    Others:
    Celeste
    Celestine
    Celine/Celina/Selina
    Serina/Sarina
    Ceyla
    Sylvia
    Simone

    ETA: I would probably avoid names that rhyme with older siblings names personally.

    We know a Cecilia and she gets called Cec (pronounced Sess), so I suppose you would need to think about that name being shortened as it is long and people will shorten it especially if they have trouble around a 4 syllable name.

    That reminds me, the Cecelia I know gets called Cele (pronounced Seal).

    Love Sedona! I prefer Cecily over Cicely, I would pronounce them differently and I wouldn't shorten them if I heard them. I like Sabine, but it makes me think of Rebecca De Mornay's character in Three Musketeers

    I prefer Cecily to Cicily too - you beat me to it Keike!

    Sabrina, Serena, Cici are other options.

    Thanks for your opinions. You know I had never even thought about the names rhyming because I was always saying DD2 name inbetween
    I still like the name and the rhyming does not worry me.

    I have showed a few people Sedona and not one person has said it correctl so as much as I like the name that annoys me and so I doubt it as an option now.

    They are some nice suggestions but nothing jumping out.
    I love Audrey but DH has said no both pregnancies.
    I love Eleanor an Eleana
    Athena
    Coraline
    Georgiana
    Marilla

    Not into the names you first posted at all, but the others in your follow post are nice.

    Would you pronounce Eleana 'El-eh-nah' or 'El-lee-anna'?
