Stella?

This is our current front-runner for DD (DC2). I have some Greek heritage and DS also has a Greek-inspired but not too unusual in England name.

Do you immediately think of McCartney? Or that new TV show? Is it a problem if you do?

I like the name, I prefer it to any other that we've come up with BUT I'm not 100% certain somehow... TIA

lovely as a name, but what about the beer ('wife beater')?
How about Estelle or Estrella?

Stella is the kind of girl who wears her boyfriend's leather jacket and gets in bar fights.

Definitely Grin just like my DD....wish I had called her that now, it would have suited her!

It's perfect!! We love it and used it for our Cat who sadly died and we now feel like we can't use it!!

I love it, and its meaning, but I can't get past the lager associations.

Comingroundthemountain · 13/09/2015 22:31

Love it - don't think of the lager. Only reason I didn't use it was I have a lisp.

Stella is cool. Super cool.
