I think it's heavy and clunky. Also I can only hear Marlon Brando yelling it over and over again. I wonder if anyone else has mentioned Brando. Now I'll go see.Edit: Nope. I'm the only one.

I was waiting for that too. I guess even the Simpson's and Seinfeld reference to "Stellaaaaaa!" is old now, never mind the original....

is my best friends nameHowever I've never really liked the name. There was an evil TV character that put me off this name (before I met my friend).

I like it a lot. Much nicer than Hester, and a bit nicer than Esther!I know a Stella Elizabeth who's never called Stella, admittedly, and another Stella (with 2 very Catholic mns that I forget) whose granddaughter, a preschooler, shares her name. So it seems to fit all ages.

I really like Stella. I think its a very nice name. Love that it means star, I like celestial meanings from names.

I used to like it a lot, but now it has become so trendy here in Sweden that I've grown tired of it.

I don't really like it, it reminds me of the beer (Stella Artois).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1A0p0F_iH8She can't resist him...I think it's a mediocre name. That's its destiny. Like Lisa, Sherry, Brittany, Courtney, Amber. Ruby. They weren't meant to be mediocre, but that's how they are.I don't mind that. But I personally don't like Stella because it just has an abrasive sound to me. Like Alexis or Harley. Not ugly, just ... rough somehow. Also, it sounds like "stellar," which I think is funny the way Winter (Winner) is funny, only a little more so.

Despite having an adorable, beautiful little cousin named Stella, I don't really care for the name. I can't shake off the kind of loud mouth old lady in house dress association I have with it. I prefer Ella. The way I feel about Stella is sort of the way I feel about Sophia. I don't find either name attractive aesthetically, and I just picture blue-haired women from Jersey retired in Florida.

I like it! It has been on my short list for girls for a while.

When I was little I thought Estella was the literal best name ever, so I get a fond, nostalgic feeling whenever I see it or Stella. I like them both, but I still honestly prefer Estella.Estella brings the visual of fairies in the night sky, and Stella reminds me more of birds. I think Stella is a more "natural" name and Estella is more whimsical.

I fell for the name when I read about Jonathan Swift and Esther Johnson, his "Stella." Mysteriously romantic.

Too bad, I don't like it. A nice meaning,but Stella itself seems stiff and starchy;perhaps it's the "st" that makes me think that.

Adore! I adore Estelle with nn Stella. So many cute middle names, too. And, though it might not age well, Estelle could so they could always go back to that when older. I love Estelle "Stella" Felicity, Estelle "Stella" Tamsin, and Estelle "Stella" Ophelia.

Like. Though I prefer Estelle, I will say that Stella has a quirky fun vibe to it, while still carrying that vintage feel. It's getting kinda popular I think, but I personally only know one Stella and she is only a couple months old. Stella Elaina is her name. It's simple, it's sweet. I can't really find anything negative about it.

Like. I fell in love with it after reading Anne Rice's Witching Hour series, with Stella Mayfair as the wild flapper Mayfair witch. It's a super fun 1920's New Orleans name for me because of that. I'd use it, despite its popularity. I've only ever met one my age, and she was technically an Estella.Oh wait, I forgot I know a dog named Stella Ella Ola. Oh well, everyone says I have a dog name, so it can become a new tradition.

It's okay. Better than Starla, anyway, but I don't think I'd want to be called Stella.

Would you rather have been just Star?
I knew a girl named Star (I've written about her before).She was a very unromantic girl, lived on a farm, could milk cows and ride horses.Very capable.Her mother was kind of a romantic type, though, I suppose that's where her somewhat fanciful name came from.

I'm called Star as a nn sometimes by some people but I guess I'm glad to be Starla and not just plain Star. Star by itself has a very low-rent vibe to it.

I like it but my neighbour has a dog name Stella and my friend a cat named Stella.
