Comment left Nov 16, 2009: "My daughters name is Celia (3 yrs), and it is very uncommon (even unheard of) where we live here in Sweden... I picked it up when I was reading a book with a US author some yeras ago and I just love the name! I hope my daughter will not hate it because it is unique when she is a teenager... :-)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 02, 2009: "yup yup i love my name :) Celia and yup they have called me different names but it is all good. they have called me Silvia, Cecilia, Selena, and so forth. i have met very few people with my name, one in the city i live in, and a friends moms name is Celia. it's interesting cause for a long time i thought my name was very unique and it still is. i love learning the meanings of names. thank you for letting me know. oh and people love my name they think it pretty :)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Oct 23, 2009: "My name is Celia, I like my name I also have worked in a call center for many years and people never get it right. I also get many of the comments I've heard here too. People tell me its an old fashion name and they have a grandmother or an aunt named Celia. I do not like if people call me Cecilia." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 11, 2009: "I absolutely love the name Celia. My Great-Grandfather's name was Cecil and he's been a very big influence on my father's life, so when I have a child I want to pay some sort of tribute to him and my father by using a variation of that name. I don't really like the name Cecilia, so I chose to go the unique route and choose Celia. It's such a beautiful and lady-like name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 04, 2009: "Okay, my name is Celiah. Very unique, form of Celia. I was born in 1997. I really want to know what my name means but nothing comes up. Any Help?" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 03, 2009: "i get called alot of incorrect names..its super annoying!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 25, 2009: "I have had so many similar experiences to others mentioned above. I love my name and I its meaning,'heaven, heavenly'. I was born in 1948 so I have had other songs sung to me: "Does your mother know you're out Cecelia? Does she know that I'm about to steal ya?" As a counsellor I always say that the Simon & G song is the opposite of everything I stand for: "You're breaking my heart, you're shaking my cinfidence daily!"" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 24, 2009: "Celia is such a beautiful name. It's one of those names you just fall in love with." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 13, 2009: "I work at a call centre and only about 1 in 10 people get it right. I started using variants like Ceel- lee- ah or Seel Yul. But i get called Sylvia or Julia or Sel ya! It can be annoying but I get used to it. I like the uniqueness. I was named after my dads car Celica without the 2nd C!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 01, 2009: "My name is Celia, and sometimes over the phone, people think I am saying Julia. I really hate being called Cecelia or Cecelle. I hate when people sing the song to me...I get it all the time. Also, when people call me Cecelia, I would respond with "No, it's Just Celia", and then then think my name is Juscelia! It's so annoying. Some people pronounce it Cee-lee-uh, and my sister and mom pronounce it Sul-ya. I don't have a preferance! Except I can't decide which pronounciation I prefer!! I am Italian, and my grandmother's name is Ersilia, but my mom just really liked the name!I've only met one lady with the name Celia." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Nov 22, 2008: "I love it! I teach Kindergarten and the kids love to say my first name. Also, Monsters Inc made my name a little more famous to the kidos.
I run into the same problems as all the other Celia's that have posted. I have met a few other Celia's. I met one a few months ago working at Disneyland when I was there!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 21, 2008: "My name is Celia and I love my name! People spell my name wrong all the time... Silia, Cilia, etc... and I have been called Ophelia and Cecile. People also have called me Cecilia... I don't like being called Cecilia because it isn't my name! My name is pronounced all different ways... Sealyuh, Seelya, Sellya (I don't like that one!)... haha but I have never really thought about the correct way to say my name. I'm from Alabama so I'll go with Sealyuh. :) And also, like the comment before mine, people also break out into song when they hear my name... Simon and Garfunkels "Cecilia". I also love the fact that when people say Celia everyone knows that it's me without having my last name said. All in all, I love my name!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 13, 2008: "i am celia i am awesome i love my name because some people hate it and it makes me happy to know that i can find joy out of people hating somehting about me yay" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 12, 2008: "wow i never expected to find so many people with my name! ive always wanted to find someone with my name that is around my age but i have never had the pleasure of meeting anyone. i am the only celia i know. but after meeting someone with teh name cecelia, i feel like my name isnt so unique anymore. i ride the bus with a cecelia and a silvia so it gets pretty confusing and i always hope for some nickname but it never works out. i do like my name because no one else has one that is so creative with so much meaning. my mom debated on other names for me like scarlette and olivia but the doctor wouldnt let her leave the hospital before she named me celia so it stuck. i hope to some day find someone my age that shares my name (because at least SOMEONE will know hwo to spell and pronounce it correctly)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 14, 2008: "My name is Celia, I've also been called Julia and Cicelia. As well as Ophelia, Selena, Cecile, Phelia and all sorts of other weird combos. I live in Canada and have met a handful of people in my life with the name. I love my name. it makes me feel special. People make it seem so exotic, they ask me "are you Mexican, or Italian or Portuguese?" I smile and say "no, my mom just really liked the name" I've also seen 2 people online with the same last name as me, i feel my identity has been robbed. :(" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 22, 2008: "I love my name and like everyone else.. people do try to call me cicelia but it's okay cause once they get to know me they pronounce it right... but i too get comments on how pretty my name is =]" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 18, 2008: "I love my name. People always tell me that I have such a beautiful name!" (Report as inappropriate)
