Any Stella fans out there?

We're having DD2 in December and Stella was a name I liked first time round but we picked Lola as that was my all time favourite.

Now that I know we're having another girl Stella is back on my radar - sometimes I look at it and think it's really pretty whereas other times I think it could be a bit harsh? I do think it has a bit of personality though IYKWIM!!

Would love to know opinions Smile

DH says he totally can't get past the beer reference!!

And yes I have memories of a battleaxe Stella from my youth!!

But if you disassociate it from those things it's quite pretty....no?! Smile

(Sorry, bit strident there - I think it's fine or a user name, and no-one has ever made comments here other than to share the joke about about the alcohol, so I've assumed OK all round).

I think it's between difficult and unusable, depending on where you live.

I chose it as a deliberate lager reference, which is fine for a user name, but not for a person.

And I don't think the lager will ever totally lose the "wife beater" association.

Estelle I like, but all the Stellas I've ever known have been rather scary, shouty matriarchs.
