Help[Opinions] Re: Star?
in reply to a message by pangurban
I've seen it used, with an extra R which makes it a ln. Starr. I don't find it trashy at all, but it is a lot to live up to and would have to be constantly explained.
I also have knowledge of a woman, daughter of neighbours, whose ln is Knight. Her given names are Paige Starry. I wish I'd made this up, but it's real all right.
In South African history, there was a real idiot of an Englishman, Leander Starr Jameson, who detonated a whole imperialist war through his own and Cecil John Rhodes's ambition and stupidity. Not a role model.
So, best avoided. It can of course be a nn for anyone, based on the person and your feelings about her; not all nns are fn-related by any means. And of course there's always Esther or Stella if it's the meaning you fancy.
