    I've never heard that name before.. but I love the NN Ella.  maybe she could be Estrella Elizabeth, Estrella Katherine, or maybe Estrella Renee?   

    If I were you, I would go for a more common MN when doing such an uncommon name. 

     

    ETA: just read PP response... the fact that it's Spanish and pronounced that way sort of changes my opinion.  I don't know if I would use "Ella" for the NN.   But REALLY it all depends on how you will pronounce it :)

    Really weird cause the baby is due in June and the Surrogate's Name is Star and Estrella means Star.

    Not a fan. Not if you are going to use a different pronunciation. Sorry.

    Completely agree. The name is pronounced Es-tray-uh. I think people that don't even speak Spanish know that. If you're going to change the pronunciation it just doesn't make sense.

    Estrella pronounces as Es-Trella makes me think of Cinderella for some reason.

    I didnt change it,I found Es-Trella as the english form of the name and its also how it was pronounced for my grandmother who is portuguese.

    I love the name if you were going to use the Spanish pronunciation. I don't like the sound if you're going with Es-trel-ah, it sounds awkward to me, like someone misspelled Estelle. (It may be a legit version of the name, that is just my reaction)

    Es-Trella.

    I loooooove the name Estrella and it's in the running for a mn for us. However, I wouldn't pronounce the double l like a regular l and the nn Ella doesn't seem to go with it. Is this how your grandmother pronounced it?

    I would bend the "honoring names" rules a little and go for Estela, Estella or even Stella if you really want to skip the Spanish pronunciation of the double l.

    I don't have any mns to suggest.

    Ya she pronounced it Es-Trella.Ive never heard of it and liked the look of spelling.Im thinking maybe she spelt it Estrela? Im not sure cause I dont have access to her birth certificate,my aunt does.My aunt contacted my grandmothers sister to confirm the pronounciation of it.

    Just read your previous responses in this post. If your GM was Portuguese, the name was probably spelled with 1 L, not 2, as that's how the Portuguese word for star is spelled. But who knows, a lot of strange things can happen with names.
