Opinions on the name Stella?

[Jaceyishere]

Do you like it, do you think it's dated and do you know any? Thanks. I love the meaning Star which is why I like it!

Due to excellent advertising campaigns, I guess, my instinct is to say 'Stella Artois'

Are you going to have another later on and call it Heineken? Sorry, I think it sounds like the lager or is just a bit odd. If you want star, go for it,, but again I think it sounds a bit council estate. Sorry!!! It's your choice though, and you go with what you like. There are much worse names.

I like it I wouldn't associated it with lager

Seren is nicer imo, I believe it also means Star.

I think it's a pretty name. I do know one who is in her forties. Doesn't make me think of the lager.

I chose this user name precisely because of the lager

I love it....have named my beautiful pedigree kitten it!

I love it, and I associate it with 'star' not anything else!

I don't mind I think it's nice but thinking about what other people have said what about find another name that means the same? Like Seren (Welsh). Although Stella McCartney doesn't seem to mind having the name. Ultimately it's your choice and if you live it nothing will beat it 🙂

It's lovely-I may be biased as it's the name of my puppy!

I like Stella. I dislike Seren as it is just a word for star in another language.

I have one. A Stella that is: DH and I are from different countries, and it's the only name that works in both that we could agree on! I absolutely love it, but you do need to bear in mind the lager association when people first hear it. Once it's combined with a surname, though, I think it works - it's not attached to a particular class, or to a particular age group, and most people don't shorten it. We've never met another one, it's easy to spell and pronounce, and it has a lovely meaning. We don't worry about the Artois connection ;-)

I really like it and considered it for DD. I have an great auntie Stella and can't shake off the elderly lady image! But, we met another couple on honeymoon - the woman was Stella and she was gorgeous and very cool. Doesn't make me think of lager at all!

I think it's lovely.

I don't like it at all, but I associate it with someone I don't like and also the lager. Seren is much better.

How is it council estate? Never heard anyone say that before.

Stella Artois has a certain reputation (found out on here!) Many people will hear Stella and think of the lager!

Wasn't there a rival pub landlady in Corrie called Stella Rigby in the Bet Lynch years?

I love Stella.

I would never have thought of it as "a bit council estate"!

sounds a bit council estate FFS, what a ridiculously snobbish comment.

OP, I like it a lot. To me it's a classy, elegant name and I like its meaning. I don't associate it with the lager at all.

sounds a bit council estate
What a horrible thing to say; it really doesn't

I like it and know a few, but I live in a hipster haven.

I love it. A really strong but pretty name.

Not for me unfortunately as it's too closely linked with the lager which has a bad reputation where I'm from. It also makes me think of brassy haired soap character for some reason even though I can't think of one?

I love the name. Greatt Aunt (85)
