Cecil for boy?

Question

Pronounced see-sill. It was my grandpa's name but I know it's kinda weird for today's time. Or if it's a girl I could name her cecily (sess-illy) so it kinda sounds the same? What do you think?

Answer

My great-uncle was called Cecil, and I’ve always been partial to it. Cecily is also a lovely classic.
It might be ‘out there’ in many places today, but it’s an actual, respectable name.

Answer

I know a man named Cecil. He's cool and strong and confident and kind. I think it seems like a perfectly reasonable uncommon name. I really don't see what any problem with it could be. It reminds me of other similar old soft C names like Cyril and Cyrus. 
I like Cecily and Cecilia for a girl too.

Answer

Cecelia is also really cute and more traditional

Answer

I like it! Uncommon but not unheard of! I don't know why some people think kids would pick on him for that name🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I like that name for a boy. Sounds very strong.

Answer

Personally I love old fashioned names! I can be a bit judgemental sometimes and can’t stand when people call their children ridiculous names like tinker bell (yes I’ve really seen that🙈) I think it’s a lovely, unique name!! And if he doesn’t like it he can always change it when he’s older or go by a nickname🤷‍♀️

Answer

I love it! It's uncommon, but so classic! I love old time names.. Infact my unborn will be named Albert. I've gotten a lot of crap for it beacuse its apparently "outdated" but I love it. Do as you please, its a beautiful name ☺

Answer

My dad's name was Cecil, he was strong,  kind,  loving, gentleand patient.  Maybe I'm a wee bit partial but I love the name and am hoping to pass it down to a child one day.

Answer

I love Cecil!!! I don't think it's weird. I've heard it before and would have no trouble pronouncing it.

Answer

Make it Ceciley 🙂 add an e before the Y.
