I just had a son and of course I am thinking about the next baby we are going to have and its going to be a girl :), but anyway, I want to name our girl Rylee or Avery. My middle name is Rose and I like that but I kind of want to use my grandmothers middle name which is Cecilia. So which name do you prefer? Does Cecilia sound too old fashioned? Our son's name is Ryder.

Rylee Rose

Rylee Cecilia

Avery Rose

Avery Cecilia

  1. Avery Cecilia is really Pretty, Rylee doesnt go with it I dont think.


  2. I loike Rylee but not the middle name.. Too old sounding.. But I love Ryder! Congratulations!

  3. is cecilia really old fashion?

    i kind of love that name!

    pairing up an old name with a "new" name is creates a cool balanced name.

  4. My favorite name out of those is Avery Rose.  Cecilia isn't that old-fashioned though, I have a friend named Cecilia.

  5. You know what? You just answered your own question. Since your son's name is Ryder, stick with Rylee for the girl. And since you want to use your grandmother's middle name, go for it.

    Rylee Cecilia.....BEAUTIFUL!!!

  6. but what if you have a boy? lol

    well anyways i like Rylee Cecilia

    and hate avery as a girls name.

  7. i like Avery Rose or Avery Cecilia. (I like Rose better, they are both really pretty though!)

    BTW! i wouldn't advise using Rylee because you son's name is Ryder...i know most people like the same letter thing, but it tends to bugs me, also the names are just to closely related...

  8. I like both of them and either would be wonderful. I have the same middle name as my mother (Gail) and when I was little I didn't really like it but now that i have gotten older I realize how privileged i am to be named after her. I think which ever you choose will be great.

    * If I have a girl I am going to keep her middle name Gail also!

  9. Rylee Cecilia or Avery Rose, I think both names are beautiful and no, I do not think Cecilia is too old fashion. I think that Cecilia is a beautiful and timeless name.

    Ryder and Rylee

    Ryder and Avery

    Both sound nice to me, choose what makes you more happy!

  10. I don't think Cecilia sounds old-fashioned at all!

  11. Avery Rose

  12. I like Avery Cecilia... very pretty.Rylee Cecilia is pretty to, though... but yea, Cecilia is a definite choice for a middle name...

  13. The names without "rose" are very nice, but avoid flower names. It sounds cheap or the name for some horrible character in a fictional book.

  14. Rylee Rosilia

    sounds pretty

    Rosilia is made from your middle name and yout grandmothers name and sounds really cute and unique

    xx

  15. rylee rose sounds so good......i dont think cecilia is too old fashioned but there is nothing wrong with old fashioned names if it was

  16. avery rose

    and if your son's name is ryder (im just guessing because your name is "ryder's mom") wouldnt rylee be too similar?

    but it's your decision

  17. I think Avery Cecelia is a lovely name.

  18. Cecilia is a really nice middle name. Rose is fine too. Rylee is nice to complement her brother's name, but I really like Avery. You have good choices to pick from, but I choose Avery Cecilia.

  19. I think both Rose and Cecilia are beautiful names; and old-fashioned names are making a comeback. Personally I like Avery Rose the best; it rolls off the tounge easily.  

  20. I like all of your names! Cecilia is very pretty and so is Rose. I think Rylee Rose is my favorite just because it's fun to say. Tough pick, good luck!

  21. First of all, i LOVE the name Ryder and have for a while!! :]

    Anyways, It would be great to honor your grandmother. I think Cecilia is pretty.

    I think they sound best like this:

    Rylee Cecilia

    Avery Rose

  22. Rylee Rose Or Avery Rose

  23. I like the name Avery Cecilia Rose.  Kinda of long but I really like Cecilia and Rose together.  I do not like Ryder and Rylee together.  I think that may get confusing, but it's up to you.  I like both names.

  24. I like Rylee Cecilia

  25. Ok think about this: when your daughter will be in school, could kids make fun of her because her nome? In those cases I would say YES. I was chossing

    Sarah Anne

    there is nothing you can do with this name. parents chose so weird names now a days...it is scaring...

  26. I like both Avery Rose and Avery Cecilia.  But I would go more for Avery Rose.  Gongrats

  27. I would have to go with Avery Rose only b/c I'm not a fan of Cecilia and I just think Ryder and Rylee are too close.

  28. I love the name Cecilia and the nickname Cece!

    Cecilia Rose is beautiful!

    also like

    Avery Aura

  29. I don't think they are too old fashioned - traditional names are a very good choice, especially when there is a family link to the name. All 4 sound nice, but I like Rylee Rose or Avery Cecilia best.  

  30. Rylee Cecille

    Avery Rose

    Rylee Mae

    Rylee Marie
