Re: Celeste
in reply to a message by Eliora
Celeste is lovely, and even though it is rare in the US (it isn't so rare here as Chrisell has already mentioned) it isn't a difficult name to pronounce nor is it 'weird' so to me it is one of those wonderful names that is unusual but usable.
Celeste Alexandra is beautiful!
I prefer Eve out of Eve and Ivy. Ivy is spunky but I can't help but think of poison Ivy...and I also think Ivy doesn't suit a little kid as much as it suits anyone older than about 8. I think the other reason it bugs me a bit is because I see Ivy suiting only a certain 'type' of person- they would be really off-beat and unconventional, outgoing and creative and maybe a bit neurotic - all of which is fine but if she was a bit shy or timid, I think it would be a difficult name to live with. Eve on the other hand has a lot of spunk and attitude, but it would still be an easy name to live with, without any (that I can think of) negative connotations
