Elliot and Stella

[Manoodledo]

I already have an Elliot. DC3 due in about 5 weeks and I'm stuck on Stella for a girl. Is the double 'ell' sound too much? Ell and Stell (not that we ever shorten Elliot) There is DS2 in the middle whose name is entirely different so I wouldn't always be saying the two names right next to each other.

Stella is a fabby name. Don't over think the 'el' thing just go with it. She will be cool but grounded.

I think it's fine, both brilliant names, I'd have loved Stella but unfortunately it rhythms with our surname and we had 2 boys who wouldn't have liked it

I think they're a lovely combination of names.

Yes, I probably am overthinking it. Thanks for positive feedback. Unfortunately, while the name is a bit of a fait accompl in my head (I've been thinking of the baby as Stella for ages now), DH isn't yet completely sold, but unless he comes up with something better in the next few weeks...

love both names and they sound fine together

The other similar name we had which we couldn't use either was Jenna.

Love Stella - do it! I love dd3s name, DH wasn't so convinced but like you I said unless he could come up with something better...

i like it, they are quite different but have an internal rhyme. go for it.

I think there is too much "ell" with them both put together. Maybe I'm overthinking it as well though!

Stella is lovely!

Lovely names, sound and look really nice together

Thanks all, and I can't believe nobody mentioned beer !

They sound fine together.

Stella doesn't instantly remind me of beer, not the way Felix makes me think 'cat food' or Flora makes me think 'icky margarine'.

Theyre fine together. Stella is lovely.

i like the names together....like Stella a lot...

i like the names together....like Stella a lot...

They sound very good together!

I'm pleased to hear there is a DS2, because I saw those names together and immediately thought "Stelliot" like Bennifer or Brangelina... but maybe I'm mental
