WDYT..........Stella

What are your thoughts on the name Stella?

Indynurse12

Not my style, but a perfectly acceptable name.

I think it is beautiful, but I like older names.  We considered it with DD, but it was around that same time Tori and Dean were having their Stella and it got very popular.

I like it. It was on my list, but I got talked out of it by people who kept saying Stelllaaa in a Sylvester Stallone voice (Stella from the rocky movies)

I love Stella.

I love it, but one BFF has a cat named Stella, and the other BFF just got a dog and named her Stella.

I love Stella, but I'm a huge Tennesee Walker fan and I think Streetcar is one of the best plays/movies ever.

Many posters here don't like it because it's getting pretty popular, but I love the name and I love a good literary connection.

Too popular.

I thought it was "Adriaaaan" in "Rocky"---- I think "Stellaaaa" is from "A Streetcar Named Desire". Anyway, sorry...off topic. ;-)  Stella is not my style, but I think it's a cute enough name!

I like Stella, if we didn't live in Italy it would be on my list

Yes.......it's:

"Yo Adriaaaan!!!" for Rocky

"Hey Stelllaaaa!!!" for Streetcar Named Desire

and "Elaaaine!!!" at the end of The Graduate

Maybe if we end up with 3 girls we could name them Stella, Adrian & Elaine for the Trifecta of Movie reference Shout Outs.......lol!!!

It's boring.

This namely generally is loved around here.

I don't care for it at all.  It's just too short and harsh to my ears.

I pretty much agree with this. I also think it sounds too little girlish and I dislike the whole blatant star association - it just seems so princess. Sorry, really not a fan and I don't get the love it has on this board.

I think it's beautiful and classic, far from boring!!

Since you're a huge fan, of course you know it's Tennessee Williams.

I love the name, but I already used it on my cat.

My best friend just named her daughter Stella last year, it's after her grandmother and she's wanted to use the name since she was a little girl. the name is so gorgeous and suits her perfectly. I'm a nanny and see tons of babies and children every week at various activities, and I've never met another Stella.
