I'm quite liking Celeste at the mo...I'm 21 wks.

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

Ce ce?

I like it - but reminds me of Babar

Thanks for your thoughts - sorry I went out and forgot I'd posted anything!

Babar's wife never occurred to me neither did Lester!

I think I really like it and I do love Ce ce for short.

Nope - never heard of that type of pill. I think it's a lovely name. Unusual but not weird, feminine but not twee - perfect combination.

Babar more resonant than the pill here too. But depite the elephantine connection Celeste also sounds extremely angelic and pure and good and pristine and nunlike and abstinent from sex, somehow.

No, Babar's wife. We considered it as a middle name

My first thought was Daphne & Celeste, and the time they got bottled off the stage at Reading.

I'm sure nobody remembers them though...

Yes. I took that pill and it made me fat!

No, not the pill but Barbar's wife as others have said.

Love the name though!!

Didn't know there was a pill called that. Very pretty and makes me think of Mrs Babar.
