Both Celeste and Flora were on our list but we went for something else :)

PearlSupernova · 14/10/2022 17:46

Flora
I would use it if partner liked it

Purpleavocado · 14/10/2022 17:44

Flora is nice, but I can't help associate it with margarine.
Celeste sounds like the Marie Celeste
Dahlia = Black Dahlia

nelliebear8 · 14/10/2022 17:43

Love Celeste! I do prefer the similar Estelle, though.

The other two are nice, too.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 14/10/2022 14:28

Flora will always be the margarine for me.

So Dahlia or Celeste. Probably Dahlia is my favourite.

RuthW · 14/10/2022 12:15

Love all except Celeste. Both lovely.

DurdleSnore · 14/10/2022 11:01

Flora for me. Not keen on Dahlia and Celeste reminds me of that annoying pop duo Daphne and Celeste.

Amdone123 · 12/10/2022 09:45

I love Celeste.
Dahlia I like.
Flora is lovely but as a pp said, ruined by the margarine !

cptartapp · 12/10/2022 09:42

Celeste - the elephant from Babar
Dahlia - yes, that horrific murder
Flora - margarine,

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 12/10/2022 09:39

Flora is lovely. Strong 'Scottish woman on a mission' vibes. Celeste is the owl from Animal Crossings. Dahlia is going to spend her life explaining how to pronounce and spell her name, sorry. How about also Fern or Freya?

PennyPencils · 12/10/2022 09:32

Flora and Dahlia were both on my list.
Celeste is pretty too. Love CeCe for a nickname

Deflatedsponge · 12/10/2022 09:05

Celeste is my favourite

ChillysWaterBottle · 12/10/2022 09:04

Lovely! Celeste is my favourite (its beautiful) and Dahlia next. Flora is nice but I definitely prefer the other two

Luredbyapomegranate · 12/10/2022 09:03

Flora by miles

Mummysharkdoodoodoodoodoodoo · 12/10/2022 06:26

Flora is best. Celeste number 2. Dahlia last place.

mathanxiety · 10/10/2022 06:27

I love Flora

Not keen on Dahlia or Celeste.

DramaAlpaca · 10/10/2022 00:12

Celeste is just gorgeous.

Flora is lovely, such a pity it's been ruined by the margarine.

Dahlia, hmm. I'm not familiar with the negative associations mentioned above but that would still be enough to put me off.

Daphne instead? Another gorgeous name.

Celeste is ok. The others, not so much.

Ihavehadenoughalready · 09/10/2022 23:13

Celeste.

MarmiteCoriander · 09/10/2022 23:05

Flora- I think of the margarine and personally prefer Fleur

Dahlia- I think of Black Dahlia and the associations of that 😬

Celeste- not keen, but the best from this list

ShesThunderstorms · 09/10/2022 22:57

Absolutely adore Celeste. Wanted to use it but it didn't sound right with our surname.

Dreamingcats · 09/10/2022 22:56

Celeste.

Happenchance · 09/10/2022 22:52

Celeste. Dahlia is also nice. Flora has been ruined by the margarine.

PrimroseWharf · 09/10/2022 22:47

I like all of them. Flora is my favourite I think. Dahlia is a close second but I dislike the Day-lia pronunciation.

Ikeameatballs · 09/10/2022 22:45

Flora is my favourite followed by Celeste. I think the two different pronunciations that I hear used for Dahlia puts me off.
