Smashing pumpkins. I love it

When I read it I feel like there’s a few letters missing at the end?

Not heard it before, if I met a little Starla I’d like it!

14 baby starlas born last year so that makes it a name in my eyes. It's not my style but its pretty. Might get people thinking it's Carla but that doesn't really matter

It’s one of those names that will be misspelt and misheard regularly I think. It’s not bad though.

I also know a Harla which is slightly less unusual but not as pretty.

Montague22 · 13/10/2022 19:43

I actually quite like it, it’s pretty. It’s maybe hippyish in my mind. Like Juno, Luna or River. I’ve come across some very unusual names which have sounded a little strange initially, you soon get used to them though.
So if you like it, use it.

Poor kid, give her a proper name so she doesn't get mercilessly bullied at school.
It's a made up name, it's not even real. If you want something astronomical try:
Stella, Estelle/a or Tara.

Why don't you rename yourself Starla & see how people react towards you for a week.

All names are made up 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like it. Makes me think of stars.

It’s quite sweet, I don’t think it’s chavvy but maybe a bit alternative

Wibbly1008 · 13/10/2022 19:40

I don’t like it. It sounds like a breed of wild bird.

Yes… it’s like Dreama or something. No.

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 13/10/2022 19:34

Starla and the Jewel Riders. 80s or 90s cartoon for kids. I remember a lot of bright Barbie pink.
