Thoughts on Starla?

[S25]

What are your thoughts/opinions on the name Starla? What connotations do you see with the name or likes/dislikes etc x

Awful. Very chavvy imo

Awful

american stripper

Prefer Stella

Names like Sky and Star aren't my thing but would also be better than starla imo. Luna is also an option if you wanted something associated with stars and space, reminds me of the Harry Potter character.

Sorry I don't know why but starla and skyla just sound really harsh to me, not feminine at all.

I completely forgot about this movie 😂 one of my favourites.

Not my thing

It makes me think of a woman from the US South who's about 50.

It seems really pretty to me, and not chavvy at all [shrug]

Stripper

We had a couple friend… Steve and Carla, who were joined at the hip and very annoying. We used to call them starla.

Sounds hard, like an American stripper.

Not classy.

I think the name is quite nice, but for me it sounds like Carla and Darla and those are really ugly 70s ish names so it would put off

Awful name. Sorry. Sounds made up.

Stella is pretty though.
I agree with the stripper association.
Estelle is also.pretty.

Darla is also hiddeous

Sounds like a car

It’s not the prettiest name, to my ear. It’s a bit Aussie-bogan for me.

If it's the 'star' connotation you're after I think there are nicer names tbh
Astra
Seren
Selina
Estelle/Stella/Estella/Maristella
Celeste
Esther
Vanessa

Sorry, makes me think 'stripper'.

Oh wow, quite the response and quite the mix as expected! 😂 I’m not actually pregnant just yet but I just love names and discussing them as does DH! This isn’t my usual style of name - DH and I both have very classic timeless names so I wanted to see how something a little more “out there” was perceived by others. I remember hearing it years ago (I’m a 90s baby so perhaps it might have been the cartoon? Though I don’t remember that at all - I’ve googled it and it doesn’t ring any bells so I’m probably a tad too young so not sure where I have heard it from) it’s just I heard it the other day and I was more inclined to think it was fairly alternative/hippy/boho kind of style over “chavvy” as some have mentioned. Interesting to see all the responses though so thanks all!

It sounds like one of those names people make up for their house with they merge their two names together to make a unique word. It's awful.

Its the purple monster machine with the Texan accent in Blaze and the Monster Machines!

I don’t like it for an actual human.

So, to summarise we have:

In the blue corner
A sweet, good-natured girl who is also confident enough to carry her name well and who is nurtured by her trippy-hippy parents.

In the red corner
An unattractive cartoon character who is a 50yr old stripper, with a chavvy background, currently working in Texas, living in a trailer.

MN at its finest!! 😉

brilliant 😂
