Huge vs. Problem

So very sadly, my first daughter, Cecilia, passed away of childhood cancer when she was only four years old, 6 years ago. On a happier note, I am expecting another daughter. However, my second husband wants to name our new girl... Cecily! It was his beloved grandmother’s name, and a name that he has loved long before he met me. However, this is just too close for me. To me, naming our daughter Cecily would feel like replacing Cecilia, which I would never want to do, and I would feel the grief I felt when Cecilia passed away every time I heard the name Cecily. My second husband is stuck on this name, but I don’t think I could bear using it. We cannot use it as a middle name, because we already have a middle name picked out. What should I do?!?!?

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
