Hi Everyone:

I like the sound of Star Darling but would like a hyphenated name b4 Star. Something Classic or gender neutral is ideal. I also like the name Jane but not with Star so I'm open for suggestions to go with the name Jane either before or after as well. Thanks so much for any thoughts.

Are you definitely using Star as a second name?

Skyla Rose Darling

Skyla Star Darling

Rosanna Star Darling

Star as a first name is somewhere between chavvy and downmarket and "wannabe" pretentious- can't decide which.

As a middle name its ok because the poor child can then forget about it once they are no longer a cute little toddler and is a grown up professional woman

Star Darlings is a Disney show btw, did you have that in mind?

Star Darling sounds like a stripper imo, sorry. Like someone said, Stella or Estelle if you want to keep the star theme but no double barrelled.

Ivy, Rose, Grace

Someone asked what I think so far....
"Olivia so her initial is O Darling!" is nice and made me chuckle.
I like the idea of Rose Star or Rosalee Star something Rose that flows more with Star. Rose Star doesn't flow like Victoria Rose or Olivia Star.
I was reading that if one name ends with a vowel and the 2nd starts with a constanant (& vice versa) that is more pleasant sounding because it flows better.

Delilah Darling!

OP, your family name is simply lovely Smile

CaffiSaliMali · 25/04/2020 20:26

Seren is less out there than star. It's pronounced SERR-en, the en is as in hen and pen. The first e is also a short e. It's often mispronounced as Sairun.

Pretty names:

Juliet/Juliette
Rosa
Rosalie
Anastasia
Natasha
Cassia
Eleanor
Isabel/Isabella
Lucy
Elodie
Louisa

If you like the meaning of star, might you like Stella or Estella/Estelle instead?

Isabella
Amaryllis
Rosanna/Roseanna
Rosamund
Sophia

Lucy Star Darling

Lucy means “bringer of light” so the names work well together.
The only problem would be the initials spelling LSD so maybe

Lucy Jane Darling would be better.

Astra and Stella are star themed, and make a nicer sound than ‘star’.
Don’t hyphenate anything!

AltheaVestr1t · 25/04/2020 10:03

Wendy! Obviously.

Helenluvsrob · 25/04/2020 09:37

Grace darling.
The pretty name but badass hero you are looking for!

ploopsie · 25/04/2020 09:37

Olivia so her initial is O Darling!

😆

HerLadySheep · 25/04/2020 09:36

Felicity
Amelia

ANoiseAnnoys · 25/04/2020 09:16

Surely it has to be Wendy!

MrsP2015 · 25/04/2020 09:14

What do you like so far as everyone is different?

toughgetsgoing · 25/04/2020 08:49

Saskia is sweet.

thewinkingprawn · 25/04/2020 08:48

Posy

CeeceeBloomingdale · 25/04/2020 08:48

Anything but Grace or Wendy
