Thanks.

Yes, a mn is problematic, isn't it? To me it needs something lightly exotic to match the style, but not so different that people look puzzled at the sight of the combination. Aida Cecile comes pretty close. Cecile is not normally a name I gravitate to, but here it works nicely. What would you say to Aida Celeste?

Uh oh...

Sorry to post twice, but this was a comment under "Celeste" here on BtN.

The Italian word that gives the meaning of this name is used in an Aria in the opera "Aida" by Giuseppe Vedri. The aria is "Celeste Aida" meaning "heavenly Aida." I like the name because I like the aria, and because my father and grandfather also liked this aria.

Pooh

That would be rather cheesey, wouldn't it? I doubt many people would know the aria, but still. Once I know I can't get it out of my head.

Thanks. Thanks heaps. Have a nice day. [;-)]

Sorry to pop the bubble slash butt in to the conversation. I agree about people not knowing about it, but it would always be in the back of my mind as well.

You're welcome heaps and have a wonderful day as well.

Exactly! That lightly exotic thing is what gets me. I like Celeste with it because it has the same flow as Cecile. Objectively, I much prefer Cecile as a name, but I think that with Aida, Celeste works really nicely.

It's my opinion that Celeste sound good as a middle name to any first name ;) Seriously! Whenever I get stuck with a combo, I stick Celeste in the middle name spot. I love it :)
