Stella and Luna too matchy matchy??

miranderp · November 2015

Title says it all really is sib set Stella and Luna too matchy? It's not twins.

Bringmemylongswordho · November 2015

So, which do you already have?

mb0112 · November 2015

Not necessarily too matchy but I immediately thought of "Stellaluna" which is a kids book about a bat or something.

Yup, I thought StellaLuna too.

I think it's a little like having a Rose and a Lily... Matter of personal preference. I wouldn't do it myself but it's up to you!

moon and star =gag

Bringmemylongswordho · November 2015

Ah. Didn't even catch the moon and star thing (I instantly go to streetcar named desire when I see stella) maybe a different celestial theme name?

Celeste
Diana
Aurora
Dawn
Lyra

(Dawn and aurora don't lessen the cheese factor if paired with Luna )

I actually think it's fine. Luna is one of my favorite names.

eileenmcgoo · November 2015

Made me instantly think of Stellaluna too. No bueno.

mommytimesfour · November 2015

I don't see a problem with it and I kind of like the way they match. It's subtle and not too cutesy. They're both nice names.

miranderp · November 2015

Thanks for the feedback, I have a Luna.

mrstrax · November 2015

Maybe Luna and Estelle/Estella?

I have a Lillian (nn Lily) and love Rosalie if this one's a girl and am ok with the matchy-ness since it would be flower nicknames instead of flower names. Dulls the cheese factor enough for me at least.

Way too matchy IMO

I agree that this sounds like a good compromise.

I think Stella and Luna are very pretty names, and I see nothing wrong with pairing them for sisters.

kyraaD · November 2015

Stella & Luna are pretty names, but just too matchy for me. & like PP's have stated, i automatically thought of the Stellaluna childrens book.

miranderp · November 2015

Funny. We got that book as a gift yesterday!

tmo51324 · November 2015

I like them! I love the name Aurora too x

It is also a song by Jason Mraz. I am not a huge fan of how they sound together but really how often will that be an issue in the grand scheme of their lives? Not much.

g8trkim · November 2015

It's pretty cheesy... sorry!

ZoeyRaeJames · November 2015

I say it all depends on how YOU feel at the end of it all.

I personally like that match up of names!

miranderp · November 2015

I think I need to watch "streetcar named desire" because all I know is someone yells "Stella!"

Might be good to understand the context behind something so culturally prevelant and enduring.

HisBestBirthdayGift · November 2015

I didn't make the connection. If you like the names, don't give it a second thought.
