I don't think of the Brando association at all and I've watched the movie

Calling out each name several times should help 😀

I love Stella, unfortunately vetod by dh 3 times! (He'd forgotten between DDS)

It is very unlike the names we went with in the end!

I know 2 lovely Stellas, and it makes me think of stars.
Violet looks like violent.

Violet

Stella

I love Stella, it has strength and has an individual feel without being weird.

Violet is also lovely, to me is more of a romantic name.

Two very different feeels to these names. Personally I lean towards Stella, but only you know your bub Smile

I like Violet though. Lettie as a NN?

Stella Grin, I love it, always have done. My husband vehemently dislikes it so we didn't use it for any of ours but I've a real soft spot for it. Violet is a bit trendy Wendy for me at the minute.

I don't really like either tbh.

It's not about what a random internet person likes though, if you like it then go for it

I think Stella has a few negative connotations, it's either Stella Artois, or Marlon Brando in Streetcar named Desire:

Which Seinfeld took the piss out of and would go through my mind if I met a Stella:

Honestly, I hate Stella. It's either an awful throwback name or it's Stella Artois to my ear. By process of elimination, Violet is better.
