Need to register baby this week - help!

[SukiSoozie]

I need to register baby girl this week and am really struggling. baby has two siblings who both have o-ending names (just because we happened to really like them). Firstly, what would you think if 3 siblings all had o-ending names? I lean towards thinking that's a bad idea (it makes me feel like I'm treating them like dolls or something!) but we really just like the names!

Secondly, what would you expect of a little one with the following names? What are your associations?

• Céleste
• Flora
• Juno
• Clio

Thank you

Clio just makes me think of the car, I’d use the spelling Cleo.

not a fan of Juno or Celeste.

i absolutely love Flora!

Flora is my favourite 🌸
(and I don't have any expectations of what a little Flora would be..... she'd be who she is)

Clio I’d just think of my car! Sorry, it’s a cute name but the association is too strong. Cleo would be better.

I’m not really a fan of Juno, but I wouldn’t think twice about it on an actual child.

Celeste and Flora are both lovely.

Flora is lovely and I only know one, she is 17.

I like Celeste

Hi DD has a friend called Flora and she's a lovely girl, very calm and caring. That being said I like Juno and Celeste too!

Clio is a car
Celeste is Daphne and Celeste
Juno is the teenager who got pregnant
Flora is lovely

@ChickpeaPie I thought this too!

Flora is a lovely name, I have positive associations as the flora I know is super creative (she's an artist) & very kind.
Juno reminds me of the film where the girl gets pregnant
Celeste is okay, I don't find it to be a very pretty name
Dislike clio.

Cleo.

clio is a car.

flora is a bit fussy. Celeste is nice but depends on your demographic. Juno just makes me think of that film.

I also thought of the car for Clio.

I actually really like Juno and my DD also has a lovely, caring friend with a fabulous sense of humour called Flora (wonder if it's the same one?!) so that has positive connotations to me.

Celeste is ok, I wouldn't pick it, but it's inoffensive.

Not Juno or Clio.
Celeste is very pretty. Don't make their life difficult by having an accent on any letter, though.

Flora is about the only one on this list I'd even consider.

Clio is a car.

Celeste is a bit cringe IMO

And Juno makes me think of Ellen Page in the movie where she got pregnant in her teens.

Honestly, I'd make no associations about the child. I think we're more likely to judge the parents than the child when we hear a name!
Those names are all fine. I like Celeste. Clio should definitely be Cleo. I'm not mad on Juno but I know it's popular here.

And I like Flora

Flora is my favourite and I offer Chloe as an alternative to Cleo.

Celeste sounds a little pretentious unless you have French heritage (to me)

Flora is lovely ☺️

Juno sounds quite trendy middle class (again, to me)

Clio - I like the spelling Cleo better - quite nice and a bit unusual without being too “out there”

I like Flora
Also like Cleo, but not Clio (car)

Not keen on Juno - it’s too trendy
Celeste I personally find a bit fussy but it’s OK

Céleste - school bully

Flora - Margerine. Or I imagine some absent minded new age hippie dancing in the meadows type (not necessarily a bad thing!)

Juno - I really like this name, I like the sound, it's unusual but familiar.

Clio - Clitoris. I'd spell it Cleo if you really want this name.

Clio is one of the Greek muses. Lovely name. I also like Juno and Flora. Least lovely is Celeste. Feels a little old fashioned to me.

Thanks so much for all the comments so far. They're pretty consistent, which is interesting and helpful. I'm surprised by the fairly unanimous preference for Cleo- the greek link is what I was thinking about, though the potential lengthening to Clitoris had occurred to me too.

I too am a bit worried about Céleste sounding pretentious and fussy. We are part French, though that's not immediately obvious so I was hoping to pick a name with a bit of a French link..

I don't like Juno.
I quite like Cleo and Flora without loving them.
Celeste isn't necessarily my taste but of your names it would be my choice I think of Celeste Holm . I agree about leaving off the accent.

I think they’re all lovely. I’d pick Juno probably if not flora. Celeste as association with Daphne and Celeste and possibly a contraceptive pill? But I don’t think most people will associate. Clio has car association but I like it. I love names ending in O but it’s maybe a bit matchy to have 3. I’d pick flora for you I think.

Just to say, the Flora I know went to school in France and the name worked well if that's something that interests you 🙂

Celeste is delightful. Este(e) is an pretty and chic shortening too.
