Baby girl names - Celine

Hello! We've been having a hard time naming DD2 - We live in London and finding the process so difficult.
DH likes Robyn - I don't mind this but don't love it either.
I like Celine & possibly Clara.
DD1 is Isla - I don't mind if their names don't 'match' as such but really want a pretty, elegant but not too twee name for our new addition.
Celine has really been growing on me recently as it's not overly popular (apart from Ms Dion obvs!) and I like the option of CeCe when she's little.

Thanks if you've got this far and please feel free to give your thoughts!
Have a great day! ☀️

I like Celine. It's pretty anf underused but known. Good choice IMO

AllHisCaterpillarFriends · 17/02/2025 07:54

First time you hear it you think Dion.

Bust actually after saying it a few times it does become a really nice name.

One the name is attached to a girl, the Dion reference will disappear.

I like both Robyn and Celine. But it doesn't sound like your husband is sold on Celine?

What about Celeste, Colette, Corinne, Camille, Coraline, Delphine, Rowan, Marissa, Marcella, Marcelline, Marina, Nadine

It’s objectively a nice name but I think I’d get fed up of having Celine Dion songs sung at me if it was my name! How about Selena?

Isla and Clara sound brilliant together to me. I also really like Robyn.

user2848502016 · 17/02/2025 09:32

I like Celine, Clara is lovely too but Isla and Clara sound a bit too matchy

I don't like Robyn for a girl personally

Notgivenuphope · 17/02/2025 09:35

Celine is lovely but Cece is ridiculous. Why can’t children be called by that actual names anymore?

AllHisCaterpillarFriends · 17/02/2025 09:44

Cece is lovely as a nn when small.

I've been thinking about this and I don't think any kids will think of Celine Dion, she isn't relevant now.

user1492757084 · 17/02/2025 10:02

Celine is great. Very strong and lovely with Isla.

partisanhomecrowd · 17/02/2025 12:00

Celine is lovely! Elegant even, and CeCe is a cute n n too!

I'm not keen on Celine and Cece is awful

I mean Celine is fine. It’s a French name and could be worse. But why do young British mothers have to treat their children like dogs and give them silly nicknames

FatLarrysBanned · 17/02/2025 12:30

I think it's a beautiful name. Cece reminds me of Cece Bloom in Beaches. I'm of an age when I think "Celine Dion", but I don't think that's a bad thing, you're not thinking of calling her Myra...

EcruCardigan · 17/02/2025 12:30

@Notgivenuphope , I don't see why there's sucjh a need for 'nicknames', especially a 2-syllable one for a 2-syllable name.

BuntyBeaufort · 17/02/2025 12:42

Robin, which is how I'd spell it, is my favourite girl's name, so I'm biased, but Celine is lovely too. Very elegant.

Bbq1 · 17/02/2025 12:52

I think Celine is beautiful and quite unusual so that's good. Any "connection" to CD will soon be forgotten and irrelevant to dd's peers. I adore CeCe as a shortened version.

Bbq1 · 17/02/2025 12:54

Clara is nice enough b I don't really like Robyn - although I think it could grow on me. Lifetime of being called Rob though?!

Boardingschoolmumoftwo · 17/02/2025 12:54

I adore Celine and Celia/Cecily/Celina

Boardingschoolmumoftwo · 17/02/2025 12:55

Also Delphine?

KnickerlessParsons · 17/02/2025 12:58

To be pedantic it should be Céline. The accent changes the pronunciation.

WildCherryBlossom · 17/02/2025 14:28

Celine is lovely. My DCs know 2 between them (one has French heritage) so it seems to be in use but definitely not overused. Unlike some PPs Ms Dion did not cross my mind.

It would definitely get my vote over Robyn.

AsFunAsEnglishWeather · 17/02/2025 14:33

Celine is lovely - reminds me of the Richard Linklater 'Before...' films with Julie Delpy.

Cece is very American (though I probably think that as I know an American couple with a daughter called CeCe) - I'd probably shorten it to Line (pronounced Leena) myself.

midlifeattheoasis · 17/02/2025 14:44

Celine is lovely OP

UninterestingFirstPost · 17/02/2025 14:47

Cecila
Caroline
Romy
Chloe

AubergineSalad · 17/02/2025 14:49

Celine is fab, v elegant. People will know it but it isn’t overused. Would be a great choice as long as you’re both on board!
