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 like it.

Reminds me of Babar the Elephant (wasn't his mum aclled Celeste?)

I like it a lot.

I have a Celeste Grin She's lovely. I'm obviously biased but it is a fantastic name! I would suggest you avoid it if anyone in your family or friends has a lisp, though. "Thelesthhe" doesn't sound quite as glamorous.

oh yeah.... Still really like Martha but what about Celeste as a first name - which do you prefer???

Sounds a bit too much like Marie Celeste to me..... Although how often do you say the middle name anyway I always think.

Love Martha though.

I just like tha sound of Martha Celeste and I like the meaning behind the name Celeste which means 'Heavenly'.

What a pretty and unusual name.

Personally, i don't think it sounds too good. And reminds me of Daphne and Celeste. Don't know if that's a good thing or not...

But maybe it works better with Martha, was there any particular reason you choose it, or just liked the sound of it?
