I much prefer Estrella. I think it's beautiful.

I really like Astrella. It sounds really pretty. I think I mentioned it in a poll I did recently, but apart from that, I haven't seen/heard it anywhere. I think it's a great name.

I kind of like Astrella. Estrella is pronounced Es-tre-yah. The double l (ll) in Spanish is pronounced like a y. When I was in Ecuador I met a girl about four with this name. I thought she said her name was Traya, but her friend corrected me. I "created" a name from Traya that is similar to yours. I changed the spelling of Trella to Treya to get the pronunciation I wanted and then added an A at the beginning. I say "created" because I am sure someone else thought of it first and my sister pointed out that Atreya is like the feminine form of Atreyu from The Neverending Story. I don't think I'll ever get to use it, though. My husband nixed it without consideration :(

Estrella is a real name. I don't think Astrella is.
