Calista - yes

Celine Dion - no

Celine was on my list but equally the dad is French

I love Celine (or Selene)...beautiful name and meaning. Much prefer it to Calista but it also has a lovely meaning and is unusual.

I really like Calista, but I think it is a bit associated with the actress Flockhart (as I've never heard of anyone else well known with the name), the same way people associate Celine with singer Dion (unless you are French or obviously French heritage). Neither of these things are a big deal, and both are nice names but as a pp suggested you could avoid both by using the Selene version (plus it's the original spelling of the name and looks the nicest to me!).

Love Seline or Selina, much prettier and not associated with the brand or singer

RoseMartha · 14/11/2020 23:27

Or Serena is close

Sunflower0000 · 15/11/2020 08:26

Both are nice but as others have said Selene is better. You could also spell Calista, Calixta as it is a Greek name.
How about Sabrina?

Calista is lovely! With Callie for short maybe?

Celine is ok. It's maybe a bit 80s? Also a bit hissy when I say it. It's fine though and it's a bit different. You don't hear of many baby Celines.

Suggestions, if you're open to them:

Caliope
Cassia
Seren
Celeste

If you aren't open to suggestions, then obviously just ignore me!

Yes I agree Selene is just as lovely as Celine

Thanks

Cecily
Celestine

mum2jakie · 15/11/2020 13:14

Would you consider Celeste? Beautiful name 😍

DepuisToujours · 15/11/2020 13:14

Oh Cecily is fabulous! Please use that! Adding it to my (completely hypothetical) future dd name list.

Nell96 · 15/11/2020 13:16

I think Celine is too associated with Celine Dion. Calista is similarly associated with Calista Flockhart, though I don't think that's as much of an issue. How about:

Selena
Serena
Sienna
Calla
Lena
Cleo
Phoebe

Calista is beautiful.

Celine is pretty but a bit to associated with Celine Dion. Celina could work.
