Stella?

This is our current front-runner for DD (DC2). I have some Greek heritage and DS also has a Greek-inspired but not too unusual in England name.

Do you immediately think of McCartney? Or that new TV show? Is it a problem if you do?

I like the name, I prefer it to any other that we've come up with BUT I'm not 100% certain somehow... TIA

Absolutely love it, was on the list for each of my three daughters - my husband doesn't like it, so it was discarded. I don't think of the beer, designer or TV show.

Stella Artois and shameless.

I think of the lager too, sorry.

SealSong · 07/09/2015 20:21

Really like it.

Yeah, my mind jumped to the lager too I'm afraid.

Could u put an E on the front n have Estella or does that then make it Spanish in origin?

I can't imagine the SA comments would bother me, neither DH nor I drink it. Still interesting to know that's some peoples first thought though.

My default Stella is my niece. The Stella Artois comments dried up by the time she was about a month old, I wouldn't worry about them.

I like it. So rarely heard but simple.

I think Stella should have sisters called Tessa and Nancy for some reason, they seem to go together.

Makes me think of Frank Gallagher. He named his daughter stella after stella artois.

SmugairleRoin · 07/09/2015 20:11

I kinda like it.
Estelle also possibly (though I know that wouldn't be right for your heritage)?

I'm not keen, it makes me think of Stella Artois.
