What do you think of Celeste as a girl's name? I haven't put it to dp yet, out of curiosity I'd like to gauge public opinion first.

I went to school with a girl who called her DD Celeste , she's about 3 now . At the time I didn't like it but now with the amount of old names coming back it is growing on me . Its pretty without being over popular !

It's okay. I didn't used to like it much but I know a gorgeous 9 year old Celeste who has warmed me up to the name a bit.

Pasiphae · 20/09/2012 12:34

Absolutely love it, so much so that I used it for DD1.

PrunellaDeVille · 20/09/2012 12:19

love it, top of my list for years until i put it to DH who said he knew one once and loathed it Sad

I think it's pretty, but Celestine is even nicer.

Lovely name :)

I think it's a lovely name.

meditrina · 19/09/2012 18:37

Very strong association to the Marie Celeste for me, so I wouldn't use it.

SparklyGothKat · 19/09/2012 18:28

I love it but it reminds me of cruel intentions.

LaFataTurchina · 19/09/2012 18:28

eek bad apostrophe!

LaFataTurchina · 19/09/2012 18:28

Love it :)

My absolute favourite and most beloved childhood teddy was a bunny called Celeste. She's still at my parent's house.
(she was pronounced the Italian way tho, - cheleste')

Kaekae · 19/09/2012 18:25

I like it but does remind me of molest.

QueenofJacksDreams · 19/09/2012 18:24

Beautiful, I remember reading a book as a little girl about a girl who joins a new school called Celeste it turns out she's an angel in the end it gave me rather an obsession with the name Smile

Very pretty

noddyholder · 19/09/2012 18:22

Love it too

Grin Hons, well timed cross post!

AWomanCalledHorse · 19/09/2012 18:22

Love.
Although my first thought is 90's pop duo Daphene & Celeste.

Honsandrevels · 19/09/2012 18:21

I love it! DH said "as in Daphne and Celeste?". I doubt many people think of a very short lived late 90's rubbish band.

I wish we'd chosen it as a middle name at least. I also like Celestine.

littlebrownmouse · 19/09/2012 18:21

I used to be on the pill. It was called cillest.

Lulabellarama · 19/09/2012 18:21

It was my favourite, but is utterly ridiculous with our surname.
Please use it

Francagoestohollywood · 19/09/2012 18:20

love it
