I'm not in favor of Cilla. It sounds to me like Scylla!
That list is pretty neat! Is kalvin still around? I wonder if he/she would like to add to it. Of course nothing's stopping another Wordie from starting his/her own similar list...
I don't like Celia the way that I like cilia, though. And while I like Cecilia, I like it for a completely different reason. I think it's all the little i's and l's that are so pretty (and onomatopoeic, actually.)
I really wanted to leave a snarky comment when I saw the first post, but you guys seem to have handled it pretty nicely.
I'm going to add Cilla to my list of favourite people names. Thanks, skipvia. :)
I think I knew a Celia once, if that helps.
Haven't seen kalvin posting in a while....

Thanks, rt!
Hmmm... Some of them I can see, like bed (cool!), but others.... I'm gonna need some help.
I offer a compromise: Cilla, a shortened form of Priscilla. Here I'm thinking of Cilla Black, a Beatles-era vocalist.
Someone did start a list like that way back when....
Found it. Here you go.
Hmmm.... is there a word for visual onomatopoeia? "Cilia" kinda looks like what it means, at least in the middle....
And everyone else, npydyuan!
I like "Celia" too. Nice name. Except for the damned earworm. ;-)

I like the name Celia.
Oh man, I just gave myself a SImon & Garfunkel-related earworm!
Cilia! You're breakin my heart! You're shakin my confidence daily....!
I've always thought "cilia" would be a beautiful name for a girl-- if it didn't bring protozoa to mind.
