39 weeks and undecided on girls name… do you like the name Celine?

It's good name, but I think of Celine Dion and think that may date the name a bit.
What about Celeste, Celina/Selina or Serena?

I like it.

MissyB1 · 11/04/2024 09:43

I adore it, I have an auntie Celine, she’s wonderful. If I had a dd she would be a Celine.

I like it but I did instantly start humming “my heart will go on” in my head! That might get annoying for her if lots of other people have the same reaction (might just be me though!)

I like the name and (if it were my dd) give the nn CeCe which I also love.

SabreIsMyFave · 11/04/2024 11:02

I think it's very sweet. Smile And year CeCe as a nickname is excellent!

Berlinlover · 11/04/2024 11:14

I’ve always loved the name Celine.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 11/04/2024 11:14

Love it!

KirstenBlest · 11/04/2024 12:12

Selene is nicer. I don't like CeCe at all.

WhereAreWeNow · 11/04/2024 12:22

Yes. Very pretty name. But it does make me think of Celine Dion... Not that that's a bad thing.

theduchessofspork · 12/04/2024 00:10

No, but I like Selina and even better Selene (sell-ee-nee)

fridaynight1 · 12/04/2024 00:13

Love Celeste

Mich8 · 12/04/2024 06:43

Love it! So cute but also elegant.

Willmafrockfit · 12/04/2024 06:44

quite like it, but t does remind me of celine dion, which is off putting with all those popups of her being so thin

Mimrr · 12/04/2024 06:53

It’s lovely.

SirChenjins · 12/04/2024 07:00

I like it but Dion has spoiled it for me. I love Serena as an alternative.

newyear2024 · 12/04/2024 07:05

I don't like it. Some of the similar name suggestions other people have given sound like names of contraception. Cece is cute though

BarbarasRhabarberBar · 12/04/2024 07:09

I'm not sure how popular or well known celine dion is with younger generations but I feel the connections are too strong. It also auto corrects to feline. Make of that what you will.

Celeste reminds me of "hi my names Daphne and this is my friend Celeste" from the 90s "ooh stick you, your mama too and your daddy". If kids ever caught on to that... Jesus!

What about Selena? Clementine? Seraphina?

RipleyGreen · 12/04/2024 07:11

I love it. Unlike most commenters I don’t think Dion, rather the French design house.

KirstenBlest · 12/04/2024 07:46

Could be expensive if she wants a bag with her name on. Smile

Isn't Selene a different name? I've taught a couple and they both pronounce is si-LEN, whereas Celine sounds like si-LEEN.

I also teach a Celina and love it.

HappyEDT · 12/04/2024 07:53

Are you going to say SAYleen then? As that's how it's pronounced with accent, Céline. I prefer Selina. That way the sell or sayl pronunciation isn't an issue

InTheRainOnATrain · 12/04/2024 07:56

It’s ok but I couldn’t see it on a baby/toddler because all the ones I know are 40+

mangobananasmooothie · 12/04/2024 07:58

Just makes me think Celine Dion.
I much prefer Cecile or Cecilia
