Stella by a mile.
Olive, Juno and Cleo are nice enough but Jovi is far too ‘living on a prayer’

Stella.

I also love Estrela which means star in Portuguese (or Estrella is the Spanish version).

Olive and Juno are overdone and Jovi is just a hard no for PP's reason! Cleo is meh.

Intrigued about you saying Juno is overdone? Have I missed a big trend or something?
Understand it might be more popular in London/certain areas but never come across a Juno myself!

Olive is my favourite! Prefer Chloe to Cleo.

My favourite is Juno don't go for Junie as that sounds like a baby name.
For some reason I don't like Stella but Estelle is nice. Cleo is also lovely. Olive sounds much too plain to me but that's just because I remember an Olive in an old sitcom.
Jovie doesn't sound like a real name .
So in order I would say
Juno
Cleo
Estelle

I love Cleo. Stella is nice too if you can get past the beer association!
Olive I’m not so keen on. I know 3 under 5 so it’s definitely on trend and sounds v similar to the very overdone Olivia
Juno is also very trendy at the moment, that and Juniper. Although probably actually not that high in the stats, it just feels it as it’s come out of nowhere. I do like it though! I also like Juniper nn Junie.
Jovi - no.

I think since the film? I know three kids called Juno and am in Bristol. It's always suggested on this board too!

I actually reread your post and love Junie, that with full name Juno would be lovely!

Thanks for your reply!
it must have really taken off in other areas then! 😊
I do like the nickname Junie, just don’t want to fall into the trap of liking the nickname more than the name!

Stella is one of my favourite names - feminine and pretty yet strong and sassy! I also love the meaning.
I also love Olive.

I love absolutely love Junia (although I couldn't persuade my husband as it sounds like junior) or June is another similar option.
Hero or Hazel as other options?

I personally think Estelle is nicer than Stella which always just makes me think of the lager.
Also, I hear Stella and my brain starts singing 🎶 Sheila goes out with her mate Stella, gets poured all over her fella ... 🎶
