Interested in your opinions please - also what could you shorten it to?

My friend has a 6 year daugher called Celeste, I think its lovely.

She shortens it to Lesty.

SmugColditz · 03/11/2008 12:04

Yes. it's actually MY contraceptive pill.

Be prepared for her mates to called her Lesta.

PenelopePitstops · 03/11/2008 12:05

lovely

reminds me of an angel!

will inevitably get shortened to sel at school

FimboGotAxed · 03/11/2008 12:06

There is one in ds's class also shortened to Lesty

controlfreeeeeakyshrieeeeeky · 03/11/2008 12:07

misdee · 03/11/2008 12:07

U G L Y you dont need no alibi, you're ugly.

sorry! but thats what it reminds me of/

overbuurvrouw · 03/11/2008 12:08

Yes, because I used it for quite a while. When I first got that pill it reminded me of Babar the elephant's wife.

It's a lovely name though.

MrsMattie · 03/11/2008 12:09

Does remind me of Babar

I like it, though.

Liffey · 03/11/2008 12:11

It does. But the pill is actually spelt Cileste I think.

Yasmine is also a ocp.

slim22 · 03/11/2008 12:13

also reminds me of Babar

it' very pretty.

Lonnie · 03/11/2008 12:16

No, just Babar like others. It's a lovely name, and short enough, I would hope, not to need shortening.

belgo · 03/11/2008 12:50

No, never heard of the contraceptive pill.

It's a lovely name.

loobylu3 · 03/11/2008 14:25

I really like Celeste and am considering it for DC3.
It does remind me of Barbar's wife but I always loved those books so I don't see that as a negative personally.
There is an OCP called Cilest but as someone else said, there is also one called Yasmin!

rolledhedgehog · 03/11/2008 15:13

I went to school with a Celeste. A really pretty name for a quite all round unfortunate child. I have never heard of a pill called Celeste.

Pannacotta · 03/11/2008 15:20

Yes, or Barbar's wife...

mabanana · 03/11/2008 15:21

It's pretty and traditional and I like it.

chandellina · 03/11/2008 20:40

it makes me think of a not so nice girl i knew but i actually loved her name anyway! i say go for it.

fishie · 03/11/2008 20:47

celeste! what a lovely name. can always be kelly if really needed.

Sarimillie · 03/11/2008 20:54

Love it!

Littlefish · 03/11/2008 21:08

Lovely name.

frazzledoldbag34 · 03/11/2008 21:08

Pretty name. I like !

Rindercella · 03/11/2008 21:13

Love it!

LynetteScavo · 03/11/2008 21:14

I love the name Celeste.

But it does sound a bit like incest - but that could just be my warped mind.
