This has been my favorite for a long time. I didn't ask your opinion on the name itself for quite a while so I'm a bit curious what people think of it.

---

1. Do you like the name Estella?

---

2. Do you prefer Stella, Estelle, Estrella or Esther over Estella? Can you say why?

---

3. Do you think of the character in Great Expectations? Was the character to mean or stuck up to use the name for a child?

---

4. Do you think it will become popular? Can you see it in the top 100 or so? Do you think Stella, Estrella, Estella or Esther will become popular? Where do you see them in terms of popularity (top 100, 200, 500?). Do you think if similar sounding names like Stella become popular people will always assume her name was Stella? Would that be a problem?

---

5. Do you think it's harsh sounding or hard to say?

---

then there's the middle name dilemma. at the moment I like:

---

Estella Pax
Estella Paz
Estella Jade
Estella Brooke
Estella Noelia
Estella Natalia
Estella Holly
Estella Rose
Estella Fay
Estella Luz
Estella Lux

but none seem right. any suggestions and comments on the combos? thanks a lot!
