Middle name for Celeste

19 replies

Do you have suggestions for a middle name for Celeste?

Any suggestions very gratefully received!

What about ‘Celeste Joy’ or ‘Celeste Nova’ or ‘Celeste Noa’?

I think Celeste needs a soft middle name as our surname is single syllable and ends with a ‘t’ sound. It is an English sounding surname. I’m thinking something simple and English sounding, like Joy, might work well.

Thank you so much for any help you can give on this. Mumsnet already helped me to fall in love with the name Celeste…so hopefully you’ll help me find a perfect middle name too!

(Our daughter is almost a week old and the difficult birth and subsequent sleep deprivation isn’t helping us to make such an important decision as her name! We did have a girl’s name lined up in pregnancy (Annabelle) but she just didn’t suit this name when we met her! Thank you for helping us out Mumsnet!)

I like Celeste Noa a lot!

I wouldn't use Nova (2 celestial names sounds a bit twee and themed) or joy (that's a lot of pressure on her to be joyful!).

I like Celeste Joy and Celeste Noa. If I had to choose between the two I’d probably go for Noa with a one syllable last name.

I also like:

Anything will do. Most people won't ever know her middle name so maybe choose one that has a special meaning to you personally.

Our DS is a Celeste and he gets called Lester! Lester I don't think is fitting for a girl however. Lessie is sweet?

Joy best of the 3. Elizabeth?

Celeste Annabel is quite nice

I don’t think you want Joy or Nova - Celeste is very otherworldly as it is

Celeste was on my list too! Beautiful name. A middle name with emphasis on the second or third syllable would flow well, as would a name starting with a vowel, as Celeste has that bunch of consonants at the end.

As PPs have suggested:
Celeste Elise
Celeste Elizabeth
Celeste Aurelia
Celeste Olivia
Celeste Emilia

And also:
Celeste Amanda
Celeste Alyssa
Celeste Elvira
Celeste Irene
Celeste Alexandra
Celeste Evangeline

Congratulations on your new little one. 😀

Thank you so much everyone! Your help is very much appreciated. We went for Celeste Victoria in the end. I can’t imagine her with another name now 😀

Another name beginning with C so you can have a “CC”.

Celeste Cora

Otherwise:

Celesta Vita
Celeste Flora
Celeste Margot
Celeste Beatrice

I think it needs to have three syllables as most of the suggestions above.

Funny I was going to suggest Annabelle and Augustine came to mind.
