I knew a very sensible, down-to-earth Celeste once; she was a biology teacher and sang in amateur productions of Gilbert and Sullivan. She never forgave her parents for giving her "such a sentimental name", and would only answer to Sally.

Apart from her, my only association is with Babar's wife, the Queen of the Elephants, and with my friend's kitten, which she got when she was about six and named after the elephant because it was grey ... it soon became known as Kitty.

I find it over-ambitious.
