Stella, Seren, Hester or Vanessa?

(Not all Welsh. But we had a conversation this morning that took a left turn and just wanted opinions)

We have a Cassiopeia already Blush

But it is a lovely name!

Aster and Lyra are lovely.

Estelle is out as it shortens to Elle and that is SiL's name. Grin

I have a one week old Esther - love her name

reallyanotherone · 06/09/2016 19:43

Lyra? Not quite a star but fits the celestial theme as a constellation...

Mojito6 · 06/09/2016 19:30

Andromeda - annie for short? But out of your list hester is my favourite

Caldini22 · 06/09/2016 18:18

I love Stella think it's a gorgeous name

Sophronia · 06/09/2016 17:06

Hester. There's also Esther, Danica, Astraea, Sitara, Steren, Estella/Estella

Jooni · 06/09/2016 16:29

Hester is fab.

CosmicOwl · 06/09/2016 16:09

I'm reading a book at the moment called The Seven Sisters, all named after stars, I prefer your list though, particularly Hester.

The sisters in the book are:

Alcyone (Ally)
Asterope (Star)
Calaeno (CeCe)
Taygette (Tiggy)
Electra
Merope

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 06/09/2016 16:03

I love elorna's suggestions of Estelle / Estella. Stella as nn?

Motherfuckers · 06/09/2016 16:03

I like Stella and Hester.
What about Aster?

ElornaElephant · 06/09/2016 15:51

I love Seren.

How Estelle/Estella? You could have Elle/Ella/Essie for short

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 06/09/2016 15:35

**Seren

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 06/09/2016 15:17

Stella
Seen
Vanessa
Hester

All beautiful though

SoftSheen · 06/09/2016 15:02

Also Astra and Estelle.

However I would vote for Celeste.

RiverTam · 06/09/2016 14:56

Celeste!

BuffyTheSpikeLayer · 06/09/2016 14:54

I love Seren!

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 06/09/2016 14:54

My preference from favourite to least would look like this:

  1. Hester (love)
  2. Stella (it's just ok)
  3. Seren and Vanessa (don't like)

Hester, love it but an acquaintance would have thought we were using it in honour of her so couldn't!

BadToTheBone · 06/09/2016 14:49

Hester
Stella
Seren

Vanessa

NoPlanYet · 06/09/2016 14:48

Realised you might want opinions on your list rather than more options for it.

I love Seren. Quite like Stella too. Not decided about Hester. Dislike Vanessa because of a bitch at school so not really a proper reason at all. All are good IMO.
