Celeste is probably the best of the bunch, but I can't say I really like it. Greta is cute but in a very German-fairy-tale kind of way. I think Gretchen is a bit cuter. Iva just makes me think of silly puns like Iva Dunnit, a kids' book I read when I was little.

I've never seen the double n spelling of Carolynn. Is that honouring a Lynn?

Of the three names, I like Celeste best.
But of the three combos, I like Iva Carolynn best.

Is this your first baby?

I like Celeste the best out of the three, but I don't like Celeste Carolynn as a combo. Therefore I vote for Greta Carolynn, which does sound quite nice together.

My favourite of these three is totally Celeste. Iva is okay, though it's never been one of my favourites. Too much you can do with it cos it sounds just like "I've a..." Iva headache. Iva cat. Etc.
Greta is downright ugly.

However. Celeste Carolynn doesn't really flow. Celeste Caroline is better. Celeste Coraline is lovely though I think many people wouldn't like the alteration.
But then, middle names, almost no one knows them in real life. I'd rather be Celeste Carolynn than Greta Carolynn or Iva Carolynn even though the other two flow better.

I like Greta Carolynn

Huh, I actually like Celeste the least. Which isn't to say I dislike Celeste, mind you, I just think the other two are much nicer, especially with Carolynn. Out of Iva and Greta, I like Greta the most. Greta Carolynn. Very nice (even if the nagging part of me would prefer Greta Caroline, but eh).
