Re: Celeste
in reply to a message by BeccyLeader2
It is one of those names where the parental hopes are so clear that the kid seems almost jinxed into going the opposite route. I imagine Celeste as a little demon during childhood and an anything but celestial teen.
I sometimes imagine a kid named Christian becoming Wiccan or an atheist and a person named Hope as a pessimist. Similarly, I like Honor/Honour as a virtue name in theory but wouldn't use it in real life for similar reasons. I wonder what percentage of people named Angel/ Angelo/ Angela have committed crimes? Probably no more than usual, but it will seem ironic whenever it happens.
