DH suggested Celeste yesterday for DD2 who is due in 3 weeks. I do like it and think it’s pretty but still not sure I love it - just after some opinions really as we are still very undecided.

Others on our list are

Pearl
Olive
Etta
Theodora

DD1 is Sylvie so would like something that goes nicely with that too.

Thanks!

I like Etta as a nickname for Henrietta; it sounds a bit unfinished on its own. How about Estelle or Estella?

I think Celeste will boom in popularity because of the pop star (she’s still emerging but set to be huge and I keep hearing her these days)

It’s my least favourite from your list but I really LOVE the others especially Olive Pearl Etta (in that order)

I love Celeste too. I used to work with a Celestine, never met another one. Always thought it was a beautiful name. Sylvie is lovely too... And Pearl... you have great taste!

I also love Genevieve which is in keeping with your French theme...

koshkatt · 16/03/2020 20:01

Celeste is just lovely OP. Really, properly lovely.

I love Olive. Like Celeste and Etta. Not keen on the other two.

Celeste - lovely
Pearl - lovely
Olive - Nice(ish)
Etta - Terrorist group
Theodora - nice but doesn't go with your other daughter's name as much as some of the others

I love pearl, goes well with Sylvie. Not keen on the others

Candyapple49 · 16/03/2020 19:56

Oooh , Celeste 💕

Sylvie and Celeste sound nice together

Cecily
Daphne
Jean

Wow you have the nicest list of names I think I’ve ever seen. I don’t like Celeste, sort of begins like “celibate” or sounds like an ointment or something

Just LOVE Pearl Olive Etta though. Especially pearl and olive ❤️❤️❤️❤️

ChelseaCat · 16/03/2020 13:18

Love Celeste and Etta
