Seselia
Would you pronounce it like Cecelia or Seh-sell-ee-ah? Or Cecil-leah?
My stepsister had a baby yesterday, and D and I have been debating how to say it 
(I thought it was going to be Cecelia, but I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet to ask...)

Just like in the Simon and garfunkel song
ETA but I've never encountered that spelling IRL, that would just be my assumption

That's the question that poor child will be faced with every single day for the rest of her life!
I would guess like Cecelia?

@Anya: @yoursilverlining: I hope so! I love the name Cecelia and was a bit disappointed that she chose a non-traditional spelling, assuming Cecelia is the pronunciation she wants (but I'm pretty traditional...)

I'm guessing she's going for Cecelia but honestly my first reaction was Seh-Sell-eeh-ah

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart!
That spelling looks complicated

I would assume that she likes the name Cecilia but wants to be 'you-neek'

I'd assume like Cecilia. Cecelia is a much prettier spelling, IMO.

If they intend on pronouncing it like Cecilia, then WHY give it that funky spelling? Poor kid...I really don't understand why parents get crazy with spelling traditional names all funky.
