Help[Opinions] Re: Star?
in reply to a message by pangurban
As you probably know, I do think it is quite usable. Yes it does have a slightly "trashy" vibe, but Star is dated and also a "nature name" so it seems like more of a deliberate style choice, and it's not "stripperish" like Bliss or Peaches.
Starlet would be over-the-top trashy, but Star is vaguely surnamey and more astronomical than it is Hollywood. It's a little bit harsh sounding.
I think it's artificial as a nick for Estelle, honestly. Like calling a Margaret "Pearl" or a Letitia "Joy." Estelle's meaning is not obvious enough, and the sound of Star is not similar enough.
I like Stelara though, and Star for Stelara seems more natural.
