[Opinions] Opinions on Stella?
Would you please share your opinions on the name Stella? I fell in love with it because of the meaning, "star", but am having second thoughts. I would like to honor my daughter and step-daughter with the new baby's name. My daughter's name is Azura, "sky blue", and my step daughter goes by the name Gracie. Jane, "God's grace", is a strong contender for the new baby's middle name. Any other suggestions are welcome!

I know a toddler Stella who is marvellously adorable; she was named after her grandmother, also a wonderful woman. So, yes, I'd say Go for it. (Granny Stella is Stella-Marie but only uses Stella; Catholic family; echoes of Stella Maris = Star of the Sea, one of the names or epithets of Mary apparently.) Stella Jane sounds excellent to me.

Stella is lovely and I also think the star meaning is sweet. Stella Jane would make a gorgeous combo and it's a lovely way to have both sisters honored.

I have a personal weakness for the name Stella -- I perceive it to be a strong, assertive name whose meaning brings pleasant images to mind. It's feminine but not at all sing-songy or airy. Stella Jane is a smart combo.

Stella is a great name. I have a friend named Stella and she likes it. Yes, she will get a lot of "STELLAAAAA!!!!!" but maybe not as that movie will be less remembered in future generations. Stella is similar to Azura in meaning. Will your step-daughter feel bad if your daughter has the first name and she has the middle name? Eliora is a Hebrew name that means "God is my light". It kind of combines the two.

Stella has been growing on me lately. It's a name a girl could grow with. It might become a little trendy, but I don't think it will reach extreme heights.

Thalia (on of the Graces of ancient Greece)I mean, Stella is great, but I'm just not feeling the connection of sky blue and star. Stella Jane is really beautiful! and so energetic.

I love Stella I truly think it is a beautiful name. I know its getting pretty trendy but its not has bad as Isabella and that may not bother you any way. I think Stella can be cute enough for a little baby but be sophisticated as she grows. I give it a two thumbs up! Go for it!
