My partner and I have been choosing names and I'm really keen on keeping a Spanish connection. My OH is Spanish but we both live in England. I think it is important that my child has strong connections with Spain and the Spanish language. We have been name picking this week and have hit on a girls name that we both like "Estrella". The problem is this is only easy to pronounce if you have a basic understanding of Spanish and know that a double l is pronounced as a "y", so it is pronounced "Ess-stray-ah".
Do you think I'm making my child's life unnecessarily hard by doing this? I know us English are naturally lazy and want to abbreviate any name more than one syllable long so what do you think it might get shortened too? My OH says there isn't a shortened version of it.
