Girl
Celestine
As a girl's name, Celestine is understood to mean "heavenly". It had its heyday in the 1950s and has mostly fallen out of use since. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
