Stella?

DD2 arriving soon. Big sister is called Stella (a name I still love so much I can't think of a better one! Feel guilty for that haha)

Long mouthful of a surname (6 syllables) so looking for something short or that can be shortened.

What would you choose? Help?!

@RadishAndTwiglet I do like Margo/Margot but we already know about three Margot toddlers!

Juno quickly warming on me, I vaguely remember DP suggesting it and I dismissed it straight away (on account of the film) but I think outside of my generation it's not/won't be that well known

Actually if you like Stella and Juno then you might also like Stella and Margo. I think Juno is the prettier of the two though.

Thank you!

I like Cleo that a couple have suggested. Also Zoe.

We did think about Pearl too, but Stella and Pearl gives me 80 year old lady best friend vibes 😂
