Opinion on this girl's name

linzlue418

We have narrowed down the first name to Christian, but, can't come up with a middle name. WDYT about Christian Stella?

It's a cute name, but I've never met a girl named Christian.  It seems particularly masculine to me, and I probably wouldn't name a DD that.

Same here.  I love the name Stella, but Christian is usually a masculine name to me.

I think even with a feminine middle name people will think she's a boy.

It's alright, I do think of it as a boys name though.

I'm not a fan. ?I like some boy names for girls, but Christian just seems really masculine and I don't think it sounds good with Brooklyn. ?What about just Kristin or Christina?

jmo.?

I agree with pp. I've never met a girl named Christian even growing up in Christian schools.

Me too.  I like the idea of Christine/Christina though.  And I like Stella.

Ditto this

There was a soap actress, on Days of Our Lives, Kristian Alfonso (or something). Maybe that's a compromise- keeping the name but girling up the spelling to clue people in....

I think "Christian" is a boy's name, and even with a feminine MN, it still strikes me as odd, and I'm normally a fan of either androgynous or masculine names for girls.

I think of Christian as a boy name too, its on our boy list...

BUT... i do think it is MUCH more feminine when you spell it with a K

<Sigh> really?  Christian is SOOOOO masculine.  Can I ask WHY you would consider this for a little girl?

Stella is really cute.

I think that I would prefer Stella as the first name... I never met a girl named Christian. Would she have a nn?

NMS - it is a boy's name

I agree with the others. I've only known of Christian's to be male.

yeah, ditto the others.  there are some boy names that are pretty unisex...christian is not one of them.  very masculine.

Unlike PP, I do know a female Christian...though I ony recently found out this was her name, she always goes by Chris.

I'm not a fan of the name at all, but maybe that's because I automatically think of the religion. I know a guy named Christian who's not "a Christian," and I think it's really awkward. If I were him I would have changed my name a long time ago, or at least started going by Chris. It's even worse with his last name, but I don't want to post his fill name on a bulletin board...trust me though, it's a laughably bad combination.

I like Christian for a girl and I love, love, love the name Stella!  I've heard a lot of typically boys names used for girls lately and I think it's cute and unique.

funnibaby

Christian is way to butch for a girl.  It is a very manly name.  NMS but I would go with Christina, Krista, etc...if you like the sound of Christian.  I love Stella, have a niece and dog with the name (the dog came first ).

What about Christiana to make it a little more feminine. You could call her Chrissy, or Chrisi
