Boys name 'Stellan'? Thoughts please?

[Bondixx]

My husband likes the name 'Stellan' for our baby boy. I like it but was surprised he did! What do you guys think? It's Stellan or Alex - very undecided.

Don't like it sorry. But I expect you'll get a mixed bag of likes and dislikes.
Alex is nice though

Is your DH a fan of the Skarsgards?

He isn't necessarily a fan, Cerseirys, but I am!! Lol.

Sound like my ex trying to pronounce what he'd been drinking after a massive weekend session.

Stellan just makes me think of Stalin. Like my brain is trying to auto correct.

I think once I got used to it, I would like it though.

It makes me think of Stollen

I like it!

Is it Greek? It goes with Stavros in my head. Stavros and his brother Stellan.

I like it, but also a skarsgard fan lol

I actually rather like it! Depends on how it sounds with your last name though.

Skarsgaard. Or is it Skaarsgard?

I like it, but I think the total effect might depend a lot on the surname.

No, it's just Skarsgård - you're thinking of the actor Peter Sarsgaard!

I am, thanks! I saw his name on a film review once (maybe Boys Don't Cry.)and when I actually went to see it, was vaguely puzzled when the bloke from Breaking the Waves failed to appear...

Awful.

Makes me think of Stella.

Depends what his last name would be.

Awful, it's too near Stella.

Stellan Skarsgard, woof! Alexander Skarsgard, double woof!

It's a lovely name (and has the benefit of actually being a name).

I like it! Are you scandinavian?

I like it and don't think you need to be Scandinavian to use it.

I quite like it, but I am Scandinavian :)

He'll be called Stella at school...

It's ok.

MUCH prefer Alex. And would save him a lifetime of people going ?Stellan? How do you spell that?
Can you tell I'm a traditionalist when it comes to names?

I immediately though Skarsgard. Can't be bad people to be named after ;)

Any Scandinavian heritage?
