Stella

OK - my daughter is still not here. I am now 41 weeks ...

My DH's favourite name is Stella.

When I told my Dad he said -"Really? Like the beer?"

But its a nice name I think - does it matter that an 'orrible lager is named after it?

What do you think?

(Mumsnet collectively provided great feedback on my favourite name last week, so its DH's turn this week!)

Love both Stella and Estella. Sweet for a little girl and quite cool for an adult.

Love the name.

Thanks for all your comments. I'd never heard of Estella before, and we'll definitely consider it.

Both DH and me can't NAND her til we meet her, and as baby Stella/Phoebe/Tallulah is still not here we're no closer to a decision!

10 days over and I have a feeling she'll stay put til the induction. But it's not long til we meet her now!

Thanks again

Name not NAND! Bloody predictive phone. What is a NAND when it's at home anyway?

Haven't read all comments but I love it. First image that comes to mind Brando at his most gorgeous dripping wet screaming "Stella" in "A Streetcar named Desire".

Takes me back to my schooldays, reading 'A Streetcar Named Desire' -- Stella will always be linked with a sort of hopeful-but-realistic-future in my mind.

But then, I don't drink beer ;)
