Astrid or Celeste

[BorisTheBold]

Come tell me your thoughts, please?

Both nice. Celeste particularly so.

I would choose Celeste :)

Love both.

I am biaised on Celeste and Astrid is a stunning name...

DS was going to be Celeste, if he's been a DD, i love it, but don't make it too popular incase as yet unconcieved no. 2 is a girl!

I prefer celeste

Astrid.

Sisters are S t e l l a and L o i s

p.s. thanks for the opinions so far

I prefer Astrid. Celeste is an old woman's name.

Did you known that Celeste was originaly also a boy's name?
Saint Celeste is a man, it's only around the 18th century that it became used for girls only.

rofl- so is Astrid (in Sweden/Denmark!)

The only thing with both these names is that they are quite similar sounds to the children you already have.

What about Beatrix?

Astrid, I used to know a mad as a box of frogs v nice one.

i did know about St Celeste, also Celestine is a boys name, particularly used in french speaking african countries i believe. tried that on my DH, it was not to be

We are chosing between these as a middle name.

He says Astrid. I say we aren't Scandinavian.

I say Celeste. He says Babar's mum.

Astrid is beautiful we were going to use that for a middle name :)

Celeste. It's lovely. Astrid isn't.

Look you're called BorisTheBold not BorisdeGayParis.

You know it's going to have to be Astrid not Celeste really, don't you?

My DD is Celeste, so I'm biased. I do really like Astrid too, but for some reason it always sounds a bit harsh to me.

Celeste is the best

Celeste, even more Celestine (DH is french speaking and this is on our list)

Astrid all the way. Celeste is always going to be an elephant for me. I don't think you have to have any Scandinavian blood to carry off Astrid (or Ingrid). It's quite an international name.

What PurVida said!
I want a fourth child just to use it up!

Celeste is Babar's wife anyway.

ESL, I am choosing to read that as Jim Morrison would while singing "The End".

Ok, thanks for all your thoughts - Celeste is edging it slighty, but I fear I don't have the accent to carry off Celeste! I think it may have to be Astrid...(or Nova).
