    I had a whole story but couldn't figure it out. So my advice is: pick another, easier name. I do think it's nice though

    Celest. You can't hear the last 'e'.

    Hey Hartje!

    We've rarely, if ever, heard this name, but we still felt it had something special. That's why I asked :-)

    I also know a Celeste, and with her, you do pronounce the final e.

    I know a Celeste and a Celesta. Both names are pronounced exactly as they're spelled, so not like "chee-lee-stuh" or "chee-lee-stah," and with Celeste, the final 'e' is also pronounced. Nice name!

    You pronounce that name as Celeste, basically how it's written.

    I'd just pronounce it as Celeste (seh-les-teh)
    But maybe Céleste as (see-les-teh) because of the accent on the e

    Pronunciation: Ce lest. Original French pronunciation.
    Ce les te (pronunciation with e): that's the Dutch pronunciation.
    With é: Céleste, then it's pronounced Cee lest(e).
