I'm so happy you put "stripperish" in rabbit's ears. When I read people saying names are that, I always want to narrow my eyes and say, "You KNOW what is a stripper's name? How?"
But, anyway.
I agree that Starlet is less nice. It goes away from nature stars and towards famous stars. Starling, though, I think is nicer.
Starr can be a surname (I know from reading
Emily of New Moon) but I wonder how many people would know? Or... wait, isn't there a Beatle with the last name
Star?
So you think
Star is artificial as a nickname for
Estelle. I can see how it might be thought... hmmm. I would totally nickname
Margaret "
Pearl", though!
Thanks for replying ^_^
