Stella

[roundynotsquary]

Nice name or not?

Sorry, but it's a brand of lager to me

C'est cidre.

Lager - and one with a reputation too.

Artois?

Along the same lines as Tia maria and bailey I'm afraid, sorry.

I love it.

Just to buck the trend...

Nice name! Also has a lovely meaning - star. I like estella with Stella as a nickname.

Do you know the beer hadn't even occurred to me. Is that really what people think of first? I just think of the word star which is what it means.

We liked this too. Went for Esther in the end.

Love it.

Yep, I would think of the lager, sorry.

I love this name. I wanted to call this baby it but I'm due a boy so maybe next time.

I like it, it's a strong name. Name of the ex head of MI5 (I think) and Stella McCartney. Never thought of the lager.

I actually love the name

...but I do think lager

It's the name of a lager is what springs to mind- what about Estella?!

What's the film, "STELLA" is it A Streetcar Named Desire?

I like it, is niece 's name.

I really love this name and it was in my very long short list?

The first thing I think of is lager. Which is a shame because its actually a nice name.

Love it. Was thinking this very morning in the shower what a lovely name it is

Estella(suggested below) is too Great Expectations + manipulative woman + miss havisham!

Wife beater

Was my Grandma's name & I had planned to use if I'd had a girl.

I don't like the name particularly, but I really didn't even think of the connection to a lager and I am sure most kids wouldn't think about it either (if you are worried about teasing).

I really like it. I know one adult Stella and it makes me think of a classy powerful woman. Would have loved to use it but a) we have two boys and b) it really rhymes with our surname.

My OH really liked it too but I didn't take his suggestion of Stella and Artois too seriously if we had girl/boy twins!

His alternative was Jenna which sounded even worse with our surname but is a lovely name too.
