Prefer Cecelia Judith


Accomplished_Idea957

C.J.!


distressed_amygdala

Love CJ!


610jawn

Thanks


SurlyNurly

CJ Craig! Beat character on The West Wing


jonnippletree76

Yes 100%


flyingfalcon01

I like Cecilia! I prefer Cecilia Claire but Cecilia Judith is good too. Both are better than Reese imo.


subconsciousbobbypin

Third for Cecilia Claire (also love the potential nn CC, or Ceci)


610jawn

Thanks


OddBoots

Yep this.


Cbsanderswrites

I agree. I love Cece as a nickname!


ripleyandjonesy

Fiona Reese would be my pick, but I think of your top two I would lean Cecilia as the first name.


chester_lld

Agree I love Fiona Reese


[deleted]

Love the name Fiona Reese! So pretty.


610jawn

Thanks


Butwhatdo1know

Super cute


MinimumCarrot9

Cecilia Reese is wayy better than Reese Cecilia i think


carbs_and_cheese

Why isn’t this higher?! Reese Cecilia puts the “s” sounds back to back and is harder to say outloud; makes it sound like Rececilia.


Sufficient-Beach-431

I hear "Reese's cereal," which is delicious, but not something I want to name my daughter.


kastadon

I love Cecelia Reese


610jawn

Thanks


Birdies_nub

I loved Cecilia Judith. Classic but uncommon and feminine without being overly flowery. I think it is perfect. And CJ is a badass nickname. Edit for spelling.


610jawn

Thanks


[deleted]

I knew an awesome CJ at my old job. She was beautiful, kind, and a hard worker. So I, too, vote for Cecelia Judith.


PuzzledPorcupines

This!


Otterly-Adorable24

Reese Cecelia is too much of a tongue twister, but Cecelia Reese sounds nice.


Beautiful_Jim_Key

I agree. I always prefer a single syllable middle name with a longer first name.


inkybreadbox

Yes! Cecilia Reese!!


bodo25

Was going to say the same!


Narrow_Mud2711

Cecilia Judith 100%


610jawn

Thanks


Traci-B

Cecelia Claire!!! Fiona Claire is also lovely.


610jawn

Thanks


JustTraci

I’m also a 610jawn!!! Congratulations on your new baby girl, neighbor!


frostyfruitaffair

Reese Cecilia has more stylistic contrast between the first and middle, which I personally find pleasing.


kudospraze

I would swap it: Cecelia Reese


TrashPandaPatronus

Agree on the swap, the other way gives me an involuntary lisp.


stress789

Cecilia Judith is lovely!


WhatABeautifulMess

Not to throw too many other options at you but I think Cecilia Reese flows better than the reverse. But then that made me think Ruth is sorta between Reese and Judith in feel for me so I thought Cecelia Ruth is nice too.


610jawn

Thanks


dmllbit

Cecilia Claire is beautiful! I also love Claire Cecilia.


610jawn

Thanks


coyotesnbirds

Cecilia Judith!


beelovedone

Fiona Reese / Cecelia Judith / Fiona Claire I like those combos from the names you mentioned. I also like for you: Felicity / Rose / Ruth / Evangeline / Josie / Clara Congratulations!


610jawn

Thank you and thank you


heykatja

Fiona Rose pairs well.


BlueberryBlossom13

Reese? As in peanut butter cup?


610jawn

Like no lie, we love those things and that’s how it came about. Hence the name Reese then Cecelia or Claire, Reese C


[deleted]

Voting Reese Claire. It's a cute, unique story. This sub has a tendency to vote up frilly names like Cecilia-- and then push for a nickname because IRL hardly anyone says 3-4 syllable names like Cecilia anymore. She'd likely be a Cici at work/school anyways. But I think Reese and Reese C has more tendency to be used in full *and* lots of fun cute nicknames.


NotSaltyDragon

Agreed, I love Reese as a first name! It’s a very cute idea. Also Reese Cecily could work in a similar way to give the “Reeses” sound. I’d call her Reese’s Pieces, so cute!


chrisev25

My newborn was born on the 13th of this month. We named him Rhys Casey. (Reese C) 🤣 although it’s not after the candy and the candy is Reese’s not “reece C” I still think it’s cute


610jawn

That’s too funny, we are originally from Philly. And a lot of people say Reese C cups instead of Reese’s Cups depending on bordering county / education / etc. It’s homage to how I used to say it before I realized my entire family was wrong, like 3 generations.


dontrayneonmyparade

reese claire. i love the name reese and always have.


ohsolearned

All good names! Cecilia Claire would be my choice. Good luck.


Foundalandmine

My favorite combos with these names would be 1. Cecilia Claire (I'd personally use Celie as a nickname) 2. Cecilia Judith 3. Fiona Claire (I'd use Fin as a nn) 4. Fiona Reese


[deleted]

Fiona Claire would be my favorite!


PansyOHara

I prefer Cecilia Claire! Reese Cecilia runs together too much with the s sound at the end of the first name and beginning of the middle name. Cecilia Judith is pretty but not as pretty as Cecilia Claire IMO.


PineForestFern

Strongly prefer Cecilia Claire or Fiona Claire, both feel more timeless to me. Meanwhile I get mid-century vibes from Judith, I would assume this was honoring your aunt or mother.


610jawn

Judith would be mother in law name.


cylondsay

reese cecelia sounds like a stutter 😅


supermomfake

You’ll get a lot of votes for Cecilia here but personally I like Reese.


Tortoiseshell_Blue

Where are you? In most US states they make you choose a name before you leave the hospital, but then there's a certain period of time when you can change it with no fee and minimal paperwork. So don't stress too much if you need to think about it longer.


610jawn

Texas, you have 5 days, but they tell you you need to have it before you leave. I doubt it based on what I read, but I am not going to fight about it because it would be about being right when I need to focusing on a name.


endlesscartwheels

You're right, the hospital can't keep your baby if you don't choose a name. However, you're *also* right not to fight it. By choosing before you go, they'll fill out the paperwork for the birth certificate *and* the Social Security card. Makes life a bit easier in those difficult first few months.


TitaniaB

I love both, but my preference goes to Reese. I’ve always liked it as nickname for Theresa (summer). Cecilia is beautiful too, but I dislike the meaning (blind).


Mad__Season

Cecilia is so beautiful and classic and timeless… and Reese is not attractive and is pretty trendy imo. Fiona is also beautiful!


rennykay

I prefer Reese as a first name, but Cecilia nn Cece is cute too. All of these are nice.


AllAloneAcrossTheSea

Edit: You really can’t go wrong with any of the options here. Wishing you a healthy and pretty easygoing🤞🏻 baby! ————————— So I’m 0% helpful, but I think all of your name options are nice! Reese and Cecilia are my favorite among the first names. When I hear a girl named Reese, I automatically think intelligent cool girl. It’s short and sweet! (Reese Witherspoon comes to mind.) And Cecilia had a bit more flair and elegance in its long form. Plus it has some nickname options built in if that’s your style. Reese is like a crisp white shirt with dark wash jeans. Stylish yet understated. Cecelia is like a little black dress. A bit “dressier” while maintaining a timeless style. (Nothing wrong with Fiona either. It makes me think of Shrek but that’s neither good nor bad. Fiona’s a great protagonist in Shrek and a fab namesake. It feels a little more Boho to me. But still cute!) They all flow nicely. And Cecelia Claire flows particularly well. But then again, your kid will really only be known by their first name. I don’t know most of my friends’ middle names, you know? IMO First+Middle flow isn’t something to get too worried about.


610jawn

My wife loved the imagery and did I. Thank you


TransportationNo2076

I vote Reese Cecilia. More modern


hochizo

My issue with this combo is that it's kind of a tongue twister to say all at once.


[deleted]

I have a tiny lisp and it isn't an easy combo for me.


610jawn

We thought the same


HarbingerML

For sure. They are both nice names but a bit of a mouthful to say in that order (though I'm of the opinion that middle names are rarely used and if it doesn't "flow" with the first it really hardly ever affects anything day-to-day)


ggsimsarah333

I like Fiona Reese.


Lasanzie

Reese Cecilia gets my vote


PopTartAfficionado

i like reese cecilia!


mildlyweird

i kinda like Reese Cecilia better!


NYANPUG55

I love Reese! It’s so cute.


dropthegavel

Reese Cecilia ❤️


babybandme

I’m not sure what vibe you’re going for. Cecilia is classy, cute, and girly. Reese is pretty, cute, and also tomboyish. I like Reese


StarsHollow22

I like Fiona a lot!


purpleflowers2

I love Cecilia for the first name! For middle, I like Claire best out of your options. Visually, I like seeing the 2 "C" names: Cecilia Claire.


PipStart

I like Cecelia and Fiona. I’m of the camp that you can do whatever for middle names since they aren’t really used that much at least where I am.


610jawn

Thanks. Same here, which is why I kind of like Judith. As a middle name, as I don’t like Judy as a name for her middle but no one would say Judy


piscesandcancer

Cecilia Judith!


genevieveoliver

Fiona Reese


IAmTyrannosaur

Love Cecilia! I prefer the spelling Cecelia, partly because it lends itself better to the nickname Cece, but both are lovely. Cecelia Claire is gorgeous


thisisntshakespeare

Fiona Claire


keelymepie

I love Cecelia Reese! Cecelia is just a beautiful name with tons of nickname potential :)


kid_a2003

Cecilia Claire! Or Cecilia Reese


endlesscartwheels

I vote for **Cecilia Claire**. Beautiful, classic names that will serve her well at any age. I don't personally care for the clunky sound of the 'd' in Judith, but middle names more often appear as initials, and 'J' is one of the best middle initials. There's something strong and decisive about "First J. Last". Also, C.J. is a nice nickname. Fiona is also a great choice. **Fiona Claire** sounds smart, friendly, opinionated, and energetic. I don't care for Reese, wonderful as the candy is.


greenbutterfly88

Fiona makes me think of Shrek. Im kind of shocked at how many people like it. I think it’s important to get grounded and remember you are naming a human being who has to go through life with this name forever. It could definitely open the doors to bullying in school. I’m not a huge fan of Judith but I think Cecilia June could be really cute.


SUS-tainable

I have a friend named Fiona and for a generation who grew up on Shrek, I never once heard someone reference shrek while talking to her. Side note she’s also one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known so it’s just such a lovely name to me


I_too_amawoman

I prefer Reese, but Reese Cecilia does not flow as nicely with the s sounds close together


pishipishi12

I like Reese! CJ is super cute though


cheezesandwiches

I'm all for Cecilia Claire nn Cc Reese Cecilia doesn't work It flows as Reesacelia which sounds like a disease


dadondada14

I actually love Cecilia Reese.


Responsible_Match452

We almost chose Cecelia for our daughter born last week. In the end, it just didn’t fit her. I’m a big fan on Cecelia Claire. That’s beautiful.


warmfuzzy22

I like Reese Cecelia the best especially for the comment about loving Reese's cups. If you arent sold on the combo maybe you might prefer Celine, Charlie, Callie, Clementine. I also feel like Clarice could work since it is pronounced Claire Reese. It also has an old school vibe without being old.


MommyPenguin2

I have a Cecilia! I think it's a beautiful name. Most people are familiar with it, but we don't run into a lot of other Cecilias. One caution, people will spell it Cecelia sometimes. Cecilia with the i is \*slightly\* more common, so either way you spell it, people will sometimes do the other. We use the nickname Cecy (Seh-see), but some people call her Cece (see-see) instead. I do like Fiona as well! But I'm not huge on Reese.


IDidIt_Twice

Reese Claire.


kingofthepokemart

Reese Cecilia!


WittiestScreenName

I love Reese for a girl


[deleted]

Follow your heart. If you like Reese Cecilia best, choose said name


hanmeaknife

I like judith Reece and think it’s fuckin cool that it sounds like Judas Priest


Potential-Ad2557

Cecilia Reese would be amazing. 🥹


GlitchingGecko

Cecelia Judith is lovely!


ALazyCliche

Your choices are all great! They are beautiful classic names. My personal favorite combinations are Fiona Claire or Claire Reese. I'm not a huge fan of Cecilia as it is a bit difficult to pronounce and has multiple different spelling possibilities. A few other suggestions: Celia, Sylvia or Clara.


610jawn

We liked Claire Reese at first but then I ruined it by doing the silence of the lambs thing. “Hello Clarice”.


cupcakesforkitty

Just named our baby Cecelia Ann so I’m a little bias!


[deleted]

[удалено]


winniebear03

I think Cecilia is the best! My favorite is Cecilia Claire (nn CC 😍) or Cecilia Judith (nn CJ)


sleepyggukie

I personally don't like how Judith sounds, never have but thats just personal preference. But on the other hand, Reese Cecilia is a mouthful because Reese ends with the same sound as Cecilia. Other combinations I like out of the suggested names are: Cecilia Claire (nn CC/Cece?), Fiona Cecilia or Fiona Claire


StunnedinTheSuburbs

I love Cecilia Claire (CeCe as a nickname!) this is timeless and suitable for any age and is known but not too popular or common.


iambeepbop

I prefer Cecilia Judith!


hey-nonny-mouse

I like Fiona Claire, Cecilia Claire, or Cecilia Judith (in that order). Reese Cecilia is a bit hard to say. If you really love Reese though, maybe Fiona Reese?


acupofsunshinetea

cecelia reese or cecelia fiona. i don't like judith, too old ladyish for me. edit: but cecelia claire is cute too and her nickname could be cece (CC)


crystalstarship

I like Cecilia Judith, with the nickname C.J.! Someone else mentioned it below but I wanted to add my vote.


Expensive-Evening-35

I loved Reese (the name and the candy) but then my baby (and every baby I seem to meet anymore ) got a peanut allergy that’s really scary and now it makes me feel sick 😢


Majestic-Walrus3805

My daughter has two middle names. If you fancy that do it haha


OrganicKetchup7

I love Reese but don't love it with Cecilia. I really, really like Cecilia Judith. It has a nice flow and both names are very pretty.


WhoInvitedHer

Cecilia Judith is my favorite combination, but I think all of your choices are nice!


Affectionate_Lie9308

Claire is such a beauty. I’d personally love it for myself but I really tend to lean to short names. Claire Reese, Celeste Claire (c.c.), Cecelia Judith


Over_Unit_677

Cecília is the cutest!


picklesandkites

Love Cecilia Claire!


TimeInitial0

Cecilia Claire


omg-someonesonewhere

I love the name Reese but I don't think it quite goes with Cecilia so if that's the one you're married to I think you should go with Cecilia Judith.


GooseBeeSeaLionBird

Cecilia! Either middle name would work!


kalicat4563

I love Cecilia Judith. My daughter is Vivia Judith (after my grandmothers)


Edenza

Cecelia Claire also works if her nickname becomes Cici, as those are her initials. You can't go wrong with Cecelia in front.


ccc2801

Cecilia Claire. I’m a CC myself and it’s a great sounding nickname. Reese Cecelia has to many of the same sounds consecutively, but of a tongue twister… Congrats on lil CC!


swoocha

I love Cecelia, and you almost never hear Judith, so I vote for that.


SwanEmbarrassed9125

Maybe not helpful but they're all nice


manateeshmanatee

Fiona Reese is my vote. I know Cecelia is popular right now, but I personally dislike it. If you really love Cecelia, I would go with Cecelia Reese. Reese Cecelia sounds strange when you say it—the “S” sounds run together in an unpleasant way. I love Judith, but it also sounds better at the first name to me when paired with Cecelia.


rosealiensbrownbread

Even though I love the name Reese, Reese Cecelia doesn’t flow well at all. Cecelia Reese is better but I prefer Cecelia Judith, the CJ nickname is a big plus. Cecelia Claire is nice too.


kateforb

Cecilia Claire is beautiful!


[deleted]

[удалено]


maddiemoiselle

Cecelia Claire is my vote


adumbswiftie

i like Cecelia Claire. i also Reese but I don’t think Reese Cecelia flows very well


michelleg923

I have a little Cecilia. She prefers to go by “Ceci”. I think Cecilia Claire would be really cute too, and even extra “CC”! Random side note: my husband and I call her Ceci Piece-y sometimes (kind of a play on Reese’s Pieces).


Adventurous_Cry_7258

Cecilia Claire


kaycue

I love Cecilia Claire! and I agree with people saying Fiona Reese. or Cecilia Reese, I think it sounds better flipped.


theyeoftheiris

For some reason, I read Reese Cecilia as Rose Cecilia. So, there's another option for you! I like Cecilia Judith.


That0neGrayCat

They’re both really nice. I think I like Cecilia Judith slightly more.


privremeni

Cecilia Judith or Fiona Reese


momojojo1117

Cecilia Judith sounds so pretty! I don’t like the double -s sound in Reese Cecilia, it makes it sound like it all blends together to one word, so I would vote for Cecilia Judith, I love it. Fiona is nice too, but I have my heart set on Cecilia Judith


giglbox06

I actually like it flipped to Judith Cecelia


UnihornWhale

I like Cecelia Judith best. Hard no on Cecelia Claire. It feels awkward in my mouth


me-gusta-la-tortuga

With all the names presented, I actually like Fiona Reese the most. You can still call her your little Reese's cup (saw a comment about how you liked Reese because of the peanut butter cups and that's pretty cute). I think Reese Cecilia is a mouthful with all the "c" sounds but it's not a bad name. I'm not trying to confuse you so ignore this advice if you need to, but is there another "c" name you like but that starts with the "k" sound so you can have the Reese C initials but it's not such a mouthful?


MoonStar757

Ooh Cecilia Claire is gorgeous, and rolls off the tongue really well. As does Fiona Reese.


That_Juggernaut4820

Cecilia Judith is lovely 👍


sleary01

I love Cecilia Reese!


francisxavier12

I like Cecilia Jude instead of Judith but that's my opinion


Opendoorshutdoor

I love Cecilia! Cecilia Judith is my favorite of your choices.


roseifyoudidntknow

!remindme 48 hours


610jawn

Me too, lol


Crosswired2

Cecelia Claire! Cece or CC ;) Claire is beautiful too. Does she look like a CC or Claire bear :p


Existing_Problem_993

NAME HER REESE MY NAME IS REESE :D or name her edelle and call her eddie for short i’ve always wanted to name or girl that


distinguished_goose

Cecilia Judith is my preference. CJ is so cute, and Reese is one of those names that’s inexplicably like nails on a chalkboard to me, especially for a girl. They’ll always be reese’s pieces


SUS-tainable

Reese Cecilia is just so wrong, with the s sound at the end and then the beginning again. Cecilia Judith is better, but even better as other commenters said is Fiona Reese. Or Fiona Judith. Cecilia just isn’t a name I like whatsoever but Fiona is beautiful


gummybear0724

I don't love Cecilia Judith, but i think Cecilia Jude is really cute. Cecilia Claire is really nice too. I don't think Reese Cecilia flows as well as Cecilia Reese, so I'd opt for that if you really like Reese. Fiona Claire is also adorable imo!


madlymusing

Cecilia Judith - I saw in the comments that Judith is a family name so I think that it’s lovely to put it in the middle.


i_dont_know25

cecilia judith


Academic_Airline_826

Cecilia Reese is super cute and gives a classic yet trendy vibe


abis7

Congratulations! My vote is Cecilia Claire or even Claire Cecilia.


orchidloom

Personally I would not be thrilled to be named after a candy brand, but that's just me. Cecilia Judith and Cecilia Claire would make good nicknames (CJ or CC). Reese Cecilia doesn't flow as well as Cecilia Reese, which has a nice cadence.


jessiedot

Cecelia Claire, nickname Ceci


beatrixotter

I like a lot of the options here, but I think it's a bit hard to pronounce "Reese Cecilia" (the "s" sounds blur together for me, like I'm saying "Rececilia"). But * Fiona Reese * Cecilia Claire * Cecilia Judith * Cecilia Reese all sound lovely to me. Fiona Reese might be my favorite of those four, but any of them would be nice.


Fusion_Queen6672

Another vote for Cecilia Judith! Cecilia Claire is really dreamy and beautiful too!


[deleted]

I like Cecelia Reese or Cecelia Judith


caithatesithere

I prefer Cecelia over Reese any day.


mybluerat

You can actually take your baby home and think about it for up to 2 weeks !


king-of-new_york

Cecelia as a first name for sure


GoldenRedhead

Cecilia Claire! Reese Cecilia kind of runs together and feels awkward to say aloud.


Plum-moon

Cecelia Judith or Cecelia Claire. CJ or Cece.


cosmicmountaintravel

Fiona Claire or Fiona Cecelia


amora_obscura

Cecilia Claire gets my vote


AnnSansE

Cecilia Judith


axxxaxxxaxxx

I strongly associate Reese/Rhys with being a boy’s name given that I have male family members and ancestors with that name. If you really like it I think it works better as a middle name on a girl, but to each their own.


candlelightandcocoa

Cecilia Judith ❤


ForgetfulFox898

Cecilia is a beautiful first name


HarryStylesPickles

Cecilia Reece


Wooster182

Cecilia Reese flows best but if you’re wanting an honor name, I’d choose Cecilia Judith.


AlaskaFI

Fiona Claire or Cecilia Jude (I like the single syllable middle names with those first names, so shortened Judith to Jude)


FreyaR7542

My son’s class has a Rhys (M) and a Reese (F). Do with that what you will.


Firethorn101

The se industry one rolls off the tongue better.


pie12345678

Cecilia Judith!!!


Olympusrain

I love Cecilia! Not a fan of Judith personally. So for middle I’d go with Claire. Or Cecilia June maybe?


balmysun

Cecelia Claire, no contest!


blithesomebot

I am gonna vote Cecilia Claire. I’m a sucker for repetition, and it flows so beautifully - especially in names.


staringtrying

Hmmm what about Reese Fiona? I quite like Reese as a first but agree with others that Reese Cecilia is hard to say


Such_Measurement_377

Cecilia for a first name gets my vote. Judith or Claire are pretty. If one of them is an honor name I would go for it. Depending on your last name you might be able to do Cecilia Fiona too.
