I like them both but I like Stella better. Both names feel dark and mysterious.

I dislike both names. I like the meaning.Stella is late 90s celebrity trendy and Estelle feels so old fashioned in a bad way.I guess Estelle. It seems more elegant.

I love both, but Estelle is an older lady name and Stella is more classic and works better for all ages.
The top name on my list for over a decade was Estella which is a lovely combination of the two.

Estelle, definitelyStella's too easily conflated with Ella, Bella, etc. Estelle is more elegant but also brassy.

Stella seems classic, elegant and accessible.
Estelle is dated, was pretentious, and I don't like the rhythm.

EstelleIt’s less common and has much more class than Stella, which is cute but honestly overused. Plus, Estelle is just more my type.

Estelle, hands down!Stella sounds almost masculine (Stellan) and popular, where Estelle sounds sophisticated and feminine. More one of a kind rather than one of many.

Estella nn StellaMy husband's great grandmother was named Estella but typically went by Stella. So you could have it both ways. Estelle nn Stella would work as well.

EstelleIt feels crisp and clear. Stella has a much trendier sound, what with all the little Ellas and Bellas running around. I feel like it gets lost in the mix.
