I thought I’d heard those names together before. Celeste was Babar’s wife, and Flora was his daughter.

I like them both better than Dahlia.

UnityO · 09/10/2022 20:14

I love Celeste!

LadyWithLapdog · 09/10/2022 20:15

Flora
Celeste
Dahlia

All are nice.

Foxtrot101 · 09/10/2022 20:20

I like Celeste the best.

DotDotDotDotDot · 09/10/2022 20:39

Dahlia is nice, although the 2 pronunciations might get annoying.

Lilacsunflowers · 09/10/2022 21:31

Love them all. Favourite is Flora.

HighlandPony · 09/10/2022 21:31

Flora. Dahlia for me conjures up some pretty horrific murder photos

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 09/10/2022 21:32

Flora. Nice and simple to learn to spell, less frilly than the others.

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/10/2022 22:01

Like all; favourite is flora

Dacadactyl · 09/10/2022 22:01

I prefer Celeste

J0y · 09/10/2022 22:03

Flora
I do like Celeste but Dahlia would leave me wondering how to pronounce it. Daylia. Dahlia. Dalleeya ??

Aquamarine1029 · 09/10/2022 22:07

Flora. That was my great aunt's name, and she was an absolutely amazing woman.

ofwarren · 09/10/2022 22:09

Celeste for me

S25 · 09/10/2022 22:14

Flora is a margarine spread.

Dahlia, whilst a beautiful name does have really upsetting connotations.

Celeste is a beautiful name, of your list I would pick this one :)

AdaColeman · 09/10/2022 22:17

Flora is my favourite.

Not at all keen on Dahlia.

allboysherebutme · 09/10/2022 22:34

Dahlia. X

PinkHeadphones · 09/10/2022 22:39

I like Celeste best.
Not keen on the h in Dahlia and also it makes me think of Bertie Wooster’s aunt bellowing like a mastodon or calling the cattle home across the sands of Dee

Ikeameatballs · 09/10/2022 22:45

Flora is my favourite followed by Celeste. I think the two different pronunciations that I hear used for Dahlia puts me off.

PrimroseWharf · 09/10/2022 22:47

I like all of them. Flora is my favourite I think. Dahlia is a close second but I dislike the Day-lia pronunciation.

Happenchance · 09/10/2022 22:52

Celeste. Dahlia is also nice. Flora has been ruined by the margarine.

Dreamingcats · 09/10/2022 22:56

Celeste.

ShesThunderstorms · 09/10/2022 22:57

Absolutely adore Celeste. Wanted to use it but it didn't sound right with our surname.

MarmiteCoriander · 09/10/2022 23:05

Flora- I think of the margarine and personally prefer Fleur

Dahlia- I think of Black Dahlia and the associations of that 😬

Celeste- not keen, but the best from this list

Ihavehadenoughalready · 09/10/2022 23:13

Celeste.

Celeste is ok. The others, not so much.
