OK - my daughter is still not here. I am now 41 weeks ...

My DH's favourite name is Stella.

When I told my Dad he said -"Really? Like the beer?"

But its a nice name I think - does it matter that an 'orrible lager is named after it?

What do you think?

(Mumsnet collectively provided great feedback on my favourite name last week, so its DH's turn this week!)

Definitely think first of the beer - and it doesn't help that it's a notorious one, nicknamed "wife beater".

Think second of the new landlady of The Rovers.

The loaded/aristocratic (McCartney/Tennant) can carry it off, though.

I think it's quite a nice name and my DH thinks it's definitely a nice beer.The only thing that would put me off is Stella McCartney she always looks so damn miserable.....................!
