Help[Opinions] Re: Star?
in reply to a message by pangurban
My first name is Starla and I'm sometimes called Star as a nickname. I don't particularly like either Starla or Star, but if pressed I'd say I prefer Starla over Star any day.
Star is tacky-sounding in that it's in-your-face-wannabe-glamorous, the kind of name a certain type of girl might choose for herself as a stage name, or to make herself seem more glamorous than she really is. It's kind of like the old adage that "People who really shop at Tiffany's don't usually name their daughters Tiffany" (which is why it was so odd that Donald Trump's daughter is named Tiffany.)
Estelle and Stella are both very pretty names, and Star might work as a nn in purely the name-nerdy sense, but really, Star as a nn for those seems too nerdy and self-conscious.

Starla. I think it's very pretty :)
Thank you for your opinion. I thought that people might think of famous kind of stars rather than stars in the sky. To me, it is very sad that this word has the two different meanings. But, oh well.
Too name-nerdy? Impossible! :D
