Celeste. I also met a Celestine once which was really unusually but lovely.

Celeste…. It’s a bit more unusual while still being elegant. Charlotte is classic but a bit WASPy and prim.

Celeste- lovely - but she will spend her life spelling it out for people.
And French people might associate it with Babar the elephant, whose girlfriend is Celeste!
Still prefer an unusual name though - so much more memorable.

Celeste 🧡☀️

Celeste because it means "heavenly" in French, and it has a unique quality to it that's refreshing and pretty.

charlotte, on the other hand, is overdone and a bit dowdy.

Both very French though, the English like French and Italian names, there are several Luca's in nieces year.

Celeste it's a breath of fresh air from all the bland names 💕
