I've recently found out I'm pregnant and these two names are in my mind.

If you go for Noelle, it should be Noëlle.
HTH.

Im not being mean i thought this was a thread about birth control.

Shannon is very 90s. Celeste is much nicer but did remind me of Daphne and Celeste (ooh, stick you, your mama too, and your daddy). Showing my age!

Juliette/Juliet is lovely. Eden is also nice.

Oh, Juliet and Noelle are lovely.

Celeste is nice too (though I realised it doesn't sound as nice spoken out loud as it looks and feels. Harsher. Less soft and celestial).

Violetlavenders · 21/03/2021 21:36

I much prefer Celeste.

Noelle between Fallon & Juliette

Fallon 3 quite like it not heard of it before the dynasty reboot
Juliette 4
Eden 1
Arden 5 surname of a guy used to have a crush on not heard it as a first name
Dixie 6 will be called Ditzy

Shortiemyboo · 21/03/2021 20:54

Dont like either

Saladd0dger · 21/03/2021 20:49

DD16 is Shannon. I loved the name growing up. Never knew any when I named her. Now there’s loads.

en0la · 21/03/2021 20:47

Shannon reminds of the sad case of Shannon Matthews so I wouldn't use it.

GuckGuckDoose · 21/03/2021 20:47

Celeste and Juliette are great.

tsmainsqueeze · 21/03/2021 20:46

EileenGC · 21/03/2021 20:38

Celeste and Juliette are lovely. Adriana and Seren are also really nice.

RedcurrantPuff · 21/03/2021 20:36

Celeste

Shannon is terrible

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 21/03/2021 20:35

Those two names are like mangos and turnips Confused

My vote is for Celeste.

@FoofOfTheWalkingDead, I agree, they were the names I originally liked, the others were recent and possibly baby brain

Celeste... because she is musical wonder, her voice is beautiful

DramaAlpaca · 21/03/2021 20:28

Celeste is beautiful, very elegant. I'm not keen on Shannon as a name.

I live in Ireland, somewhere not far from the river Shannon, and I don't associate it with anything 'trashy'. It's either the river or Shannon Airport to me. Which is probably why it's not used much as a first name over here.

Authenticchicken · 21/03/2021 20:25

Celeste is lovely. Reminds me of Babar.

I like Juliet too.

FoofOfTheWalkingDead · 21/03/2021 20:24

Fallon, Arden, Eden, Seren and Adriana are all lovely names.
Shannon, Celeste or Dixie, not so much.
