Florence or Stella?

Thanks

Absolutely Florence it's beautiful. I can only think of the lager with Stella.

Florence (but I personally have an irrational dislike of the name Stella)

[Rocketbuddies]

Sorry I don't like either

Stella just reminds me of the beer and Florence is really overdone and common in our area.

Stella
Florences always get called Flo and sound like charladies from 1930

[MammieBear]

Both are Lovely and if it's of any interest to you both are named of Brietling wing walkers.

[WalkanTalk]

There's loads of Florences now.

I love them both, but Stella is more unusual at the mo.
Don't worry about the 'lager' comments. I was taught by a nun called Sister Stella. I think it sounds very pretty.

There's loads of Florences now.

^^This! It's nice enough but really popular.

As for Stella, I actually really like it, but there is the issue with the beer...

[ThaliaLuxurySpa]

Love Florence, but not keen on Flo, Flossie or Florrie.

Stella's nice (if you're after a middle name, what about Stella Maris "Star of the Sea", which I've always thought was really pretty!).

[ImSoUnoriginal]

I know it's popular but I prefer Florence. I really don't like Stella, despite the pretty meaning.

[Chaffinch4]

Stella. It's lovely. Or what about Estella / Estelle if you're worried about lager connotations?

As pp said, Florence is really popular and I always just think of the city in Italy!

[ibentmywookie]

Florence or Florrie is lovely, but Stella is pretty cool too. I think of McCartney rather than the lager. I think Florence is classic, Stella is hipper.

[stellarfox]

Both great names but I would probably go with Stella as it's slightly less popular. I also wouldn't worry about the lager association people have as I had the same association until I met a lovely little Stella and now I think of her. The more the name becomes popular as a girls name the more positive associations people will have with it. Also love Florence too but not keen on Flo as a nickname. You can't go wrong with either name!

[roseloverr]

Thanks everyone! I don't mind the nicknames for Florence, i think Stella sounds a bit harsher but i do love it. I love Florence too but it is very popular! Still not decided

Florence. Stella in my head is a woman in a leopard-print jumpsuit with tattooed eyebrows and bad fake nails. No idea why It has a pretty meaning but it sounds very harsh.

[MammieBear]

You might like Estelle or Estelle to soften Stella a bit, or Stellamaris which means star of the sea.

[MammieBear]

Estella darn auto correct!

[Sophronia]

Stella as it's less popular than Florence

[abitoflight]

I have a stella
I have been given the wrong drink at bar 3 times as bar person thought I was asking for that beer when I was in fact chatting to DH about children 😂
I was pregnant with her at Disneyland Paris and stella was the brand of taps in the hotel written on top of each tap!
It suits her

[bridgetreilly]

Stella is really beautiful.

I like them both. Does one over the other go with your surname better?
