It’s not the prettiest name, to my ear. It’s a bit Aussie-bogan for me.

MumofSpud · 14/10/2022 08:30

Sounds like a car

Stella is pretty though.
I agree with the stripper association.
Estelle is also.pretty.

Darla is also hiddeous

Awful name. Sorry. Sounds made up.

Sandysandwich · 14/10/2022 08:25

I think the name is quite nice, but for me it sounds like Carla and Darla and those are really ugly 70s ish names so it would put off

silentpool · 14/10/2022 08:12

Not classy.

CosmopolitanPlease · 14/10/2022 08:08

Sounds hard, like an American stripper.

ObviouslyNotAMandy · 14/10/2022 08:06

We had a couple friend… Steve and Carla, who were joined at the hip and very annoying. We used to call them starla.

Stripper

StopStreet · 14/10/2022 08:05

It seems really pretty to me, and not chavvy at all [shrug]

chaotical · 14/10/2022 08:00

It makes me think of a woman from the US South who's about 50.

DramaAlpaca · 13/10/2022 23:01

Not my thing

Isn’t it the name of the female bodybuilder in Napoleon Dynamite?

I completely forgot about this movie 😂 one of my favourites.

Thisisnotmyname2 · 13/10/2022 21:41

Prefer Stella

Names like Sky and Star aren't my thing but would also be better than starla imo. Luna is also an option if you wanted something associated with stars and space, reminds me of the Harry Potter character.

Sorry I don't know why but starla and skyla just sound really harsh to me, not feminine at all.

Seemsok · 13/10/2022 21:35

Awful

Daisybuttercup12345 · 13/10/2022 21:33

Awful. Very chavvy imo

Cute (ish) for a baby. Bloody ridiculous for a grown woman!!

sourcreampringle · 13/10/2022 21:12

I like it! Reminds me of Luna or Skyler

LuciferRising · 13/10/2022 21:10

It reminds me of Skyla. I really like it.

BlueRaincoat1 · 13/10/2022 21:09

Starla is the texan car in Blaze and the Moster Machines.

I do like the name Stella though.

Fleur405 · 13/10/2022 21:07

I really dislike it sorry. It just doesn’t sound right at all. I think Stella or Star would be much nicer.

rumbypumby · 13/10/2022 21:07

Starla from Blaze and the monster machines
