Estellita - what do you think?

My DH has suggested Estellita....I'll be honest-I'm not keen but thought I'd give it a fair chance. What do you think?

'ita is normally the affectionate ending, isn't it? It's a bit of a mouthful.

I think it sounds like you've made it up as a cross between Estelle and Lolita, so not good really.

NaturalBaby · 20/10/2013 22:10

It sounds like 3 names combined to make up a new name. Did he read/hear it somewhere or has he made it up?!

Estelle is lovely. Estellita sounds made-up and horrible. Sorry.

curlew · 20/10/2013 22:13

How about Stella?

Misfitless · 20/10/2013 22:17

I don't like it at all, sorry.

Smartiepants79 · 20/10/2013 22:21

Nope, made up and a bit froo-froo.

casacastille · 20/10/2013 22:28

Me neither. Fluffy and OTT.

Then I don't much like any names ending in -elle or -ella.

scarlettsmummy2 · 20/10/2013 22:33

It sounds like the name of a contraceptive pill.

CatAmongThePigeons · 20/10/2013 22:39

I just think of 'Estrellita Dónde estás' the Spanish version of Twinkle Twinkle little star.

Pancakeflipper · 20/10/2013 22:43

Isn't it a cream for itchy private parts?

Sounds like a pet name for Estelle/Estella.

SirChenjin · 20/10/2013 22:49

Wow - that's a lot of names in 9 letters! Maybe better to just go with one of them?

I've fed your comments back to DH-he says he feels like he's been thrown in a pit with some Rottweilers! Grin he is reassessing the name though in light of the comments...I particularly like the cream for itchy private parts!

I like it Blush

Yowser is inspired though.

It sounds like a combination of Estelle, Stella and another name ending in -ita, either one would be nice. Estellita is overdoing it a bit.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 21/10/2013 15:58

Jiminy Cricket, no.

Mim78 · 21/10/2013 16:08

Sounds too made up to me. Estella is nice, or Estelle or Stella.

As others have said, Estellita could be a nickname.

squoosh · 21/10/2013 17:29

I prefer Estellabella.

Anri · 22/10/2013 07:28

I prefer Estella. He could call her Estellita as a pet name. I don't think that Estellita would work on an adult.
