Stella, Seren, Hester or Vanessa?

(Not all Welsh. But we had a conversation this morning that took a left turn and just wanted opinions)

I love Seren

ImYourMama · 06/09/2016 14:38

Or nova

NoPlanYet · 06/09/2016 14:40

Celeste - does that count?

BikeRunSki · 06/09/2016 14:41

I really like Stella

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 06/09/2016 14:41

Hester by a long way for me. I love it!

NoPlanYet · 06/09/2016 14:48

Realised you might want opinions on your list rather than more options for it.

I love Seren. Quite like Stella too. Not decided about Hester. Dislike Vanessa because of a bitch at school so not really a proper reason at all. All are good IMO.

BadToTheBone · 06/09/2016 14:49

Hester
Stella
Seren

Vanessa

HelenaJustina · 06/09/2016 14:49

Hester, love it but an acquaintance would have thought we were using it in honour of her so couldn't!

My preference from favourite to least would look like this:

  1. Hester (love)
  2. Stella (it's just ok)
  3. Seren and Vanessa (don't like)
BuffyTheSpikeLayer · 06/09/2016 14:54

I love Seren!

RiverTam · 06/09/2016 14:56

Celeste!

SoftSheen · 06/09/2016 15:02

Also Astra and Estelle.

However I would vote for Celeste.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 06/09/2016 15:17

Stella
Seen
Vanessa
Hester

All beautiful though

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 06/09/2016 15:35

**Seren

ElornaElephant · 06/09/2016 15:51

I love Seren.

How Estelle/Estella? You could have Elle/Ella/Essie for short

Motherfuckers · 06/09/2016 16:03

I like Stella and Hester.
What about Aster?

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 06/09/2016 16:03

I love elorna's suggestions of Estelle / Estella. Stella as nn?

CosmicOwl · 06/09/2016 16:09

I'm reading a book at the moment called The Seven Sisters, all named after stars, I prefer your list though, particularly Hester.

The sisters in the book are:

Alcyone (Ally)
Asterope (Star)
Calaeno (CeCe)
Taygette (Tiggy)
Electra
Merope

Jooni · 06/09/2016 16:29

Hester is fab.

Sophronia · 06/09/2016 17:06

Hester. There's also Esther, Danica, Astraea, Sitara, Steren, Estella/Estella

Caldini22 · 06/09/2016 18:18

I love Stella think it's a gorgeous name

Mojito6 · 06/09/2016 19:30

Andromeda - annie for short? But out of your list hester is my favourite

reallyanotherone · 06/09/2016 19:43

Lyra? Not quite a star but fits the celestial theme as a constellation...

Backhometothenorth · 06/09/2016 19:49

I have a one week old Esther - love her name
