What do you think of the name Estella? I think it's very pretty but I don't like the way it sounds in Spanish, so I would never use it.Wdyt?Thanks :)

It's my favourite name of all time!!
I have a character named Hazel Estella, but I prefer Estella Hazel. Estella Juliet and Estella Providence are my favourite combos.Estella is so classy and can have so many nn ideas: Essie, Essa, Stella, Stelle, Esta, Ella, Elle, Esti, etc.Great name! :DEstela is nice in Spanish.-Seda*

I love the name Estella, almost as much as I like Estelle. (My own name, actually).

I adore it. And I don't love Stella but I love Estella, oddly enough. :b And as great as I think Ella is, it's very popular at the moment, so Estella seems a nicer alternative imo. As for the Spanish pronunciation, I think it's quite pretty, but it makes me think of Estee Lauder. LOL.

I really like Estella (though I think I prefer Estelle). I agree though, I don't like the Spanish pronounciation a much as the English one. -Amy-

What is the Spanish pronounciation?

I believe it would be something like "Eh-STAY-uh" or "ay-STAY-uh)."No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

How is Estella pronounced in Spanish?I love the name Estella! It's so pretty! I don't know how it's said in Spanish though so I can't tell you my opinion on that! :)I love the way it sounds! So sweet, and romantic, and just pretty! I do like Stella but as a nn for Estella or Estelle, I like Estella much more than any of the others! :)Can anyone tell me how Estella is pronounced in Spanish?

Well...Double l's in Spanish are pronounced like y in English, so I would guess its pronounced 'ehs-TAY-uh.'

Estella is another name that I love, and it's a made-up name to boot. It's definitely on my short list for a daughter.____

I much prefer Stella. Estella I find very unflattering sounding, while I find Stella to be very pretty.
