I'm writing as I'm so upset about comments that have been made about my 11 week old daughters name. She is my first and every time someone says something like' you mean like the lager' or'really !? Stella?' It hurts so much. I feel so protective of her and I love her name. The comments weren't made by anyone close but by people at a wedding and a work colleague. I'm now really worried she's going to have negativity following her name in the future, makes me so sad and feel guilty that I've chosen it. Sad

Personally I'm not keen on the name.

However if that is what you like, good.

Stella is lovely. I think it's a big name for a little baby, but she'll grow into it. Don't think about changing it!

Stella McCartney hasn't done too badly.

I think it's a similar name to Nancy and Tessa, I always think of those three names together.

Her name is beautiful. It's one I would consider using (also on that list Olive and Blythe and Kate) if I ever had more.

Says more about the person if the first thing that comes to their mind is alcohol.

My grandmother is called Stella and I think it's a beautiful name. If I had had a girl, I would have named her Stella because it's such a pretty name. However, I have been blessed with three boys so never had the opportunity to use it Smile

Stella is a beautiful name. It's from the Latin meaning star. (I'm sure that you know that). Tell her when she is big enough. She will be proud to have such a lovely name.
Just shows how ignorant some people are and don't realise it.

It's a beautiful name. It makes me think of stars in the sky.
