I've been digging the name Celeste lately. What do you think of it?

Love it, have done for a while. I always suggest this name on here and it seems like no one else ever likes it! I guess I was wrong.

I think it's very pretty, although I doubt I'd ever use it, except perhaps as a MN. Even then, though, I prefer Celestia. Laine Celestia is one of my favorite combos :)

This name has been growing on me lately. I used to think it was dated, but now seeing it on younger girls I kind of like it.

Totally love it and have forever. Such a pretty name without being too cutesy or frilly. It looks beautiful and sounds rather classy to me, but not pretentious. I can see how some people might think 'old lady' name but it doesn't bring that image to mind for me at all.

I think it's definitely visually pleasing but I'm neutral on the sound (that's probably because it's the name of the dish washing soap at one of my old jobs that I hated). I like the meaning a lot.

There's definitely worse names :-)

Don't like it. Nice meaning, but sounds old-ladyish and also it puts me in mind of soap. I can just imagine Celeste on the shelf between the Irish Spring and the Safeguard.

I wouldn't use it as a first name but I think it would make a good mn.

I absolutely love this name. I'd give it to a little girl, but I'd be worried that kids would tease her because it sounds a little bit like "molest".

I was thinking the same thing!

I like this name but I feared the "molest" similarity as well-

I kind of like it. Not enough to use it, but I like it.
