I quite like Celeste, though I'd more likely use it as a middle name. It goes with a lot!

I know a lot of people like it, but I can't imagine it on anyone under fifty. I prefer Celia.

Nice. I really like it and would use it for a child.

I love it. I think it would be a cool twin for Marina.

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.
