Thoughts on Celeste?

It’s ok, but far from my favourite Ce- name. Some people here will probably say it sounds like ‘molest’ but I don’t think that’s even close to being an issue. Personally my mind goes to Daphne and Celeste (which is potentially why I’m not a fan of the name), but that’s even less relevant.

I love celeste. It's a beautiful name

Ringaroundtheroses · 29/03/2023 23:09

A bit like molest, a bit like cyst, but word associations unless massively obvious don’t put me off. I think it’s fresh and cool.

MissingMoominMamma · 29/03/2023 23:10

It’s lovely.

Georgiepud · 29/03/2023 23:17

It's beautiful.
Both for a child and also later in life.

Justinripley · 29/03/2023 23:31

I really despise it

I like Cicely and Cecilia though...

AngryBirdsNoMore · 29/03/2023 23:32

Gorgeous!

SoftSheen · 29/03/2023 23:32

Lovely

ourflagmeansdeath · 29/03/2023 23:39

It's pretty! 💕

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 29/03/2023 23:40

Really like it.

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 30/03/2023 11:08

I don’t like it but can’t explain why

BlueChampagne · 30/03/2023 11:13

I like it

anxiouslemons · 30/03/2023 11:14

It reminded me of a contraceptive pill, is it Cilest?
But it's actually a very pretty name

Purplecatshopaholic · 30/03/2023 11:18

Immediately thought of Babar the elephant, lol (and his wife Celeste) - featured in my childhood! Nice name though.

SpinningFloppa · 30/03/2023 11:18

No

CornflakesOnTheSolesOfHerShoes · 30/03/2023 11:20

It’ll always be an elephant’s name to me I’m afraid!

DramaAlpaca · 30/03/2023 12:27

I really love it

emmathedilemma · 30/03/2023 13:13

I'm not a fan i'm afraid (my first thought was also Baba the elephant!). I'm not even sure why I don't like it.....I guess it's a bit frilly and a bit "try hard" and borders between sounding really posh or really chavvy.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 30/03/2023 15:32

I like it. It's classy imo. (As long as you don't call another daughter Daphne!)

blebbleb · 30/03/2023 15:32

It's lovely!

shumway · 30/03/2023 16:10

Beautiful name.

Spanielsarepainless · 30/03/2023 16:23

Sounds like a brand of contraceptive pill.

TempsPerdu · 30/03/2023 16:26

I find Celeste sort of pretty and a bit clunky and awkward at the same time - it’s a bit lispy and doesn’t really flow well with a lot of middle names and surnames. I much prefer it as a middle name.

ReadtheReviews · 30/03/2023 16:27

I like it. Also Celine.

EyesOnThePies · 30/03/2023 16:36

Lovely.
