[Opinions] Re: Elizabeth or Celeste?
in reply to a message by Guest
Definitely Elizabeth, though perhaps better as a mn. I've only known one Celeste, who loathed her name with a passion, found it revoltingly sentimental, and insisted on being called Sally. I find it over-ambitious, an echo of Babar and the Queen of the Elephants, and the name of a friend's kitten when we were about six and reading Babar; the kitten soon became known as Kitty.
