Just out of curiosity, what is your opinion on the name celeste? I am considering it as a middle name to go with first name Martha [smile}

I love it. Very pretty name.

AmelieMay · 16/10/2010 23:48

both lovely names

I really love the name but like a few have already mentioned it's also the name of a well known contraceptive pill.

discobeaver · 16/10/2010 21:21

I really like it. But was told it sounded like cyst.
Also if the child ever went to Reading festival it would have bottle of piss chucked at it.

So, vetoed.

I wouldn't mind being called Celeste, and that's the acid test for me.

Just to let you know. We didn't end up going for Celeste in the end - although I still really like it. We chose the name Martha Felicity-Rose as it has strong family links. Thanks for all your feedback Grin

Like others here, I have also taken the Celeste OCP. Which also counts out Yasmin for me. Bloody drug companies. Why can't they call them Doris, or something.

I love both names but not together.

If pushed, I would probably choose Martha

belgo · 30/09/2010 12:20

Celeste and Celestine are both lovely.

Pasiphae · 30/09/2010 12:19

PS: not sure of the combo Martha Celeste...

Pasiphae · 30/09/2010 12:19

I have a Celeste too. I have heard....
-It's the pill,
-Daphne & Celeste
-It's prostitute name
-It rhymes with Molest
-The Mary Celeste
-It's too "precious"
-What kind of a name is that?

BUT the overall majority seems to think that it is rather pretty.

I think it is one of the prefect name out there, of course!

If we'd had a girl we were going to call her Margot Celeste! Fantastic! We had a boy!

MrToad · 30/09/2010 09:12

Adds Celeste to list of names for potential DD... tis lovely!

telsa · 30/09/2010 09:07

Very pretty - though I prefer Celine.

BrigitteBardot · 29/09/2010 20:51

I love Celeste. Very pretty.

addictedtofrazzles · 29/09/2010 20:31

Was the name of my contraceptive pill...

Don't like it - sorry!

HerHonesty · 29/09/2010 20:26

lovely.

Odelay · 29/09/2010 19:17

it's a lovely name, DS was going to be Celeste, but was a S not a D Smile

pointydog · 29/09/2010 19:15

I do like the sound of Celeste although I would not saddle a child of mine with the name.

You could just about get away with it as a middle name.

CuppaTeaJanice · 29/09/2010 19:10

Reminds me of Daphne and Celeste, and their 'greasy greasy granny'!

Would be a much nicer name if they hadn't existed!

freerangeeggs · 29/09/2010 19:06

Love it! One of the best first-name middle-name combinations I've heard.

Bumperlicious · 29/09/2010 17:11

Not sure about the Martha Celeste combo, but love Celeste as a name, more than Martha.

Ineedsomesleep · 29/09/2010 16:57

Love Celeste and it made me think of Babar too, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing Smile

Much prefer Celeste Martha though.

NomDePlume · 29/09/2010 16:53

Like Celeste and like Martha but not sure about them as a pair...

Bue · 29/09/2010 16:49

I absolutely love Celeste. minipie, Queen Celeste was Babar's wife. An excellent association! :)

LetThereBeRock · 29/09/2010 16:04

Love it. I don't like it with Martha though.
