Celeste is very pretty. Vetoed by my infuriating DH.

Celeste is gorgeous. I'd love to use it myself but it isn't right with the last name.

I like Celeste. Grown up and quite elegant.

Evelina is okay but a bit fussy.

I really dislike Mabel. A lot.

Where would you get Ever-leena from?

Non-rhotic accent

It is Ehv-a-leena surely?

Rhotic accent

I love Evelina but it gives me the rage that it might be pronounced with and r in it! Where would you get Ever-leena from? It is Ehv-a-leena surely?

I quite like Evelina - how do you pronounce it - ever-leena? Could be Eve or Evie for short. It's unusual and there's a famous old novel called Evelina, which apparently inspired Jane Austen.

Celeste is lovely, with a lovely meaning of course.

Mabel is still too old ladyish for me.
