Definitely Estella, I love it (but not Estelle or Stella, weirdly)

Celeste would be my second choice.

Lisa feels very dated because it was so popular in the 70s and 80s

Estella with an a is lovely. Estelle will sometimes be pronounced ESS-tel which sounds like a phone company.

I also like Celeste and Lisa, as well as Lena and Liza.

Lisa

@DinosaurDiana

Wasn’t Celeste a contraception or something ?
Cilest is the pill.

I like Celestine/Celestine. Estelle/Estella is lovely but not keen on Lisa.

Celeste - I know one Celeste who is 19 and have a friend who has it as a middle name - Zara Celeste (North American so unlikely to be on MN). Such a cool name & woman.

Estelle is beautiful. Celeste is lovely too.
Lisa really isn't.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 13/05/2021 22:17

I agree Lisa is a very style to different to Estelle and Celeste - Elise would fit better. Of your 3 choices I like Estelle best - quite elegant (although I like Estella even more). Celeste is okay (but does remind me slightly of the elephant) but Lisa is very 70's to me.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 13/05/2021 22:19

meant to say "different style", sorry.

Estelle makes me think of Joey’s agent in Friends.
Celeste makes me think of contraception.
Lisa is nice. Dated, but that makes it unusual. Makes me think of the Simpsons. Lisa is a good character.
I like Lucy as a more classic, less dated name with a similar sound to Lisa.
I also like Stella. Stella makes me think of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but I don’t care.

Celeste

Mamamamasaurus · 14/05/2021 15:07

Not Lisa, please PLEASE not Lisa. Trust me on this one.

NigellaSeed · 14/05/2021 15:38

Celeste

CatkinToadflax · 14/05/2021 16:01

Lisa probably has brothers called Ian and Kevin. It's a nice name but does sound very dated. Celeste is beautiful and Estelle/a has a lovely sound too.

Edenember · 15/05/2021 13:44

Celeste. What about Este?

saraclara · 15/05/2021 13:51

I can't believe that Lisa is in the same list as the others!

I like both the others, But Lisa is bringing out the snob in me that I didn't think I had!

Ellmau · 15/05/2021 15:19

I actually think they're all dated, but Celeste and Estelle are a bit later.

babbaloushka · 15/05/2021 16:08

Lisa! Gorgeous name.

jclm · 16/05/2021 16:04

Celeste - lovely, unusual
Estelle - beautiful, seems to be more popular
Lisa - from the Simpsons? A bit dated...

have you thought of Stella / Liesel / Estella ?

TatianaBis · 16/05/2021 18:22

Much prefer Estella to Estelle which comes ends too sharply.

Prefer Celestine to Celeste.

Lisa is readily dull, Elissa is pretty though.

Cindie943811A · 16/05/2021 20:18

As others have said, Lisa is very ordinary and rather dated.
Both your other choices are good but Estella is special.

WaitinginVain · 16/05/2021 20:44

Celeste is beautiful and Estelle is also lovely. Lisa is dated and wasn't very nice back then.

subbysammiexoxo · 17/05/2021 01:43

love celeste if it's cece but I do think of the chris watts case in america, not estelle, estella, and not keen on lisa.

Anystarinthesky · 17/05/2021 02:03

I love Estelle, one of my favourite names.

HuntingoftheSnark · 17/05/2021 05:43

Lisa is very dated - not keen at all. As a PP said, Celeste reminds me of Babar's wife - I love Estella, even though (actually maybe because) she was the ice midden.
