DH loves the name Celeste for our dd2 due in May. I wasn't sure at first but it's really grown on me. But we are stumped for a middle name. Our surname begins with a C. I'd love to come back to him with a bit of a shortlist but I'm stumped so suggestions are very welcome please Smile

Love Celeste.

Celeste Evangeline jumped out at me.

Celeste Lowenna is pretty!
Love Blythe, but it's my mums cats name! and also Joy has a special connection for my DH that I hadn't considered before now. This thread is pretty inspirational, I've got quite a few I hadn't considered!!

I'm glad the name has had a warm reception too, as I know it isn't used all that much (44 baby's named Celeste in 2014!) and I don't know another - similar to Carmen, she's the only her nursery has ever had.

I think anais is pronounced Anna-yees but could be wrong

Celeste Blythe
Celeste Joy
Celeste Hope

(I like virtue names as middle names)! Smile

beautyandthebump · 03/02/2017 14:15

I think Celeste is very pretty.

How about
Celeste Anaiis ("A-neigh" isn't it?) to continue the French thang

Or Celeste Emelia/Emilia so as not to make a CAC with Amelia as over another post?

I meant 'I know' as an expression of mock shock, not omniscience. Smile

AutumnalLeaves that is GORGEOUS! I'm not bothered by matching initials, neither is DH so this absolutely going on this he shortlist! Thank you!

There's lovely suggestions, will show DH this thread later.

Oops! Perhaps you're wanting to avoid the same initials as her sister's?

AutumnalLeaves38 · 03/02/2017 11:06

Celeste Lucienne ..... the origins together mean "Heavenly Light". Beautiful!

Celeste is Babar's wife! And I loved Babar as a child so for me its a positive Smile

fluffiphlox · 03/02/2017 10:14

I'm afraid the name Céleste just reminds me of Babar's cousin.

petitdonkey · 03/02/2017 10:07

Sorry! I wasn't suggesting Mary just that it's a family name for us that I wouldn't have otherwise chosen!

Loveday is hard to follow - I was only talking about it on wedneday as two of my colleagues have it as a middle name. Would you consider using it again? Both of my DDs have Mary but they have another middle name too.

crapfatbanana · 03/02/2017 10:01

I was going to suggest Celeste Louise, but that would the mean exact same initials as her sister.

Celeste Amelie (CAC initial prob?)
Celeste Honor
Celeste Miriam
Celeste Fleur

Oooh BRILLIANT suggestions! Thank you!

Youngest daughter is Carmen Loveday so wanted something equally as pretty ideally but it's proving a hard act to follow!

And, not as! Confused

Also, the 2 Celestes I know are known as Cece, and Celia for short....

GinIsIn · 03/02/2017 09:18

Definitely not to the posters suggesting Celeste Mary as Celeste Marie!! Grin

Celeste being a French name, did you want a French inspired middle name?

Celeste Alice
Celeste Juliette
Celeste Delphine
Celeste Rose
Celeste Isabel
Celeste Francesca
