I wouldn't want to be called Celeste, so it's a no from me.

I love Colette though (another C name).

Barleysugar86 · 30/03/2023 23:55

It's beautiful. I know one who is seven and it's such a classy pretty name.

Luredbyapomegranate · 30/03/2023 23:54

I like it

But think about the accent where you are, French names do get butchered in some Uk accents

Twoinapod · 30/03/2023 20:59

I think it’s a beautiful name, unfortunately my daughter says it as slest which totally spoils it

PurpleAirGuitar · 30/03/2023 20:36

Pretty - it has a very light and sparkling feel for me.

PritiPatelsMaker · 30/03/2023 18:57

I love the name.

Barelycopingmum · 30/03/2023 17:26

I'm due a baby girl shortly that we are calling Daphne. They should start a girl band 🤣

In all seriousness, its a lovely name and if you love it then who cares what mumsnet says?

nopenotplaying · 30/03/2023 16:59

I think I was on a contraceptive pill of this name years ago

America12 · 30/03/2023 16:43

Lovely. I saw a lovely little Celeste the other day.

EyesOnThePies · 30/03/2023 16:36

Lovely.

ReadtheReviews · 30/03/2023 16:27

I like it. Also Celine.

TempsPerdu · 30/03/2023 16:26

I find Celeste sort of pretty and a bit clunky and awkward at the same time - it’s a bit lispy and doesn’t really flow well with a lot of middle names and surnames. I much prefer it as a middle name.

Spanielsarepainless · 30/03/2023 16:23

Sounds like a brand of contraceptive pill.

shumway · 30/03/2023 16:10

Beautiful name.

blebbleb · 30/03/2023 15:32

It's lovely!

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 30/03/2023 15:32

I like it. It's classy imo. (As long as you don't call another daughter Daphne!)

emmathedilemma · 30/03/2023 13:13

I'm not a fan i'm afraid (my first thought was also Baba the elephant!). I'm not even sure why I don't like it.....I guess it's a bit frilly and a bit "try hard" and borders between sounding really posh or really chavvy.

DramaAlpaca · 30/03/2023 12:27

I really love it

CornflakesOnTheSolesOfHerShoes · 30/03/2023 11:20

It’ll always be an elephant’s name to me I’m afraid!

SpinningFloppa · 30/03/2023 11:18

No

Purplecatshopaholic · 30/03/2023 11:18

Immediately thought of Babar the elephant, lol (and his wife Celeste) - featured in my childhood! Nice name though.

anxiouslemons · 30/03/2023 11:14

It reminded me of a contraceptive pill, is it Cilest?
But it's actually a very pretty name

BlueChampagne · 30/03/2023 11:13

I like it

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 30/03/2023 11:08

I don’t like it but can’t explain why

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 29/03/2023 23:40

Really like it.
