Stella, Cosima or Constance?

4 weeks to go and we can’t decide!
Stella is a family name, the others we just like. I love Cosima, but would hope to avoid Cos/Cosi as a nickname.

Middle names will be Estelle Olive or Elizabeth Olive (if we use Stella).

Love them all!

I like Stella the best, although Cosima is cool. My concern would be over diminutives as sometimes people will shorten whether you like it or not, although maybe it wouldn’t be so problematic with this name as there aren’t any obvious and well known shortened forms. Not keen on Constance but it’s just a personal taste thing.

Love stella!

Constance is ok, I like the nn connie

Not keen on cosima really but i feel like its the kind of name that would grow on me quickly.

Love your middle name choice of estelle olive!

They are all nice. I like Stella the most. Cosima is good too. You could maybe shorten to Coco.

TakeMeToYourLiar · 27/05/2020 21:35

The cosima I know has Simmy as a nickname

NotNowPlzz · 27/05/2020 21:35

Cosima

Stella and Connie were both on my list. Damn DS being a boy

SomeoneInTheLaaaaaounge · 27/05/2020 21:37

Stella just means lager!!!!

SallyWD · 27/05/2020 21:53

Stella is one of my favourite names. Love it.

123Dancewithme · 27/05/2020 21:54

Stella

timetest · 27/05/2020 21:54

Stella is lovely.

katy1111 · 27/05/2020 21:56

I love Stella. Also really like Estella.

Beamur · 27/05/2020 21:58

Love them all. If I had to choose it would be between Stella and Constance, but Cosima is a grower. Bit posh for me though Grin

seriousandloyal · 27/05/2020 21:59

Estella is the nicest.

OffThePlanet · 27/05/2020 22:01

I would choose Stella, I don’t like Cosima or Constance. I really love Estelle over Stella as a first name.

pilates · 27/05/2020 22:03

Only like Constance

CorianderLord · 27/05/2020 22:21

Cosima. Stunning

Aclh13 · 28/05/2020 03:13

Either Stella olive
Constance Elizabeth
Connie estelle

blancheduboiss · 28/05/2020 03:21

Stella !

blancheduboiss · 28/05/2020 03:49

Although my mumsnet name may make me biased Grin

Zitouna · 28/05/2020 09:36

Hmmm mixed responses tho maybe a majority for Stella... lots to think about. Thanks all!

Late to the thread, but just thought I'd say I love all of them. I think Constance is my favourite.

bridgetreilly · 28/05/2020 22:25

I like Stella best, but I also like Constance. Not a huge fan of Cosima.

Ohnopoo · 28/05/2020 22:33

Stella
