I know a Stella Elizabeth in her 60s and a toddler Stella whose full name should be Stella-Marie Bartlette but possibly isn't.

---

I'd give it a 9 if not a 9.5.

---

Stella Marianne; Stella Christine; Stella Josephine; Stella Felicitas.

I give it a 9.

---

I absolute love this name and have for years.
It's soft and solid all at once.
It has class and sass. Stella could be a debutant or a softball pitcher.
Stella is classic and it fits in modern trends as well.

---

My favourite combo is Stella Juliet. (My personal favourite name is Estella and my favourite combo has been Estella Juliet for years.)

I've met a couple of Stellas at work, one younger and one older. I think it's a great name and would like to see it used more.

I know two Stellas. One's a session drummer who's worked all over Europe and is immensely cool. The other is a friend's mother who I wished I could borrow sometimes as a kid because of her awesome stylishness and take-no-crap attitude. So yup, I like it, I concur with your findings, and think Stellas rock.

I'm tempted to say 1, but it really isn't a bad name. I even had a good friend in high school with that name. She was an exchange student from Brazil. But I just really dislike the sound of it.

8.5

---

I like it :)

Apparently there are 7,381 people with the first name Stella in California. And I have a feeling it'll make it to top 50 next year (it went from not charting in 1997 to # 126 in 2009 and it's still on the rise).

---

I'd give it a 5. I'm not a fan, but it's a nice classic, normally spelled, familiar, not weird...

---

Adding combos:

Stella Flannery
Stella Domenica
Stella Hermione
Stella Ceridwen
Stella Amelie
Stella Bethany
Stella Victoria
Stella Ignacia
Stella Rosheen
Stella Tabitha
Stella Nalani

I've never met a Stella either. At first, I wasn't keen on it because I didn't like the way it sounded. It's okayish to me now, but I can't but think of A Streetcar Named Desire whenever I hear it. (not a bad thing at all, really)

---

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 6. Here's some combos I can think of off the top of my head: (pardon if the middle names come off as filler-ish)

---

Stella Frances
Stella Louise
Stella Rosette
Stella Colette
Stella Fleur

I went to high school with a Latina Stella (short for Estella) and no WAY would she ever take any crap from anyone. She was so feisty. But nice too. I mean, I was scared of her, but I was scared of everyone older than me.

---

I like Stella a lot too. It is apparently really popular but I also don't know any Stellas, and even if I did I might still use it. It has fire for sure, but also a creativity and poetry to it. I also like it as a pet form of Estelle, a name that doesn't get much attention. I like that you have the classy, collected Estelle when you want to be formal, but can pull out the fun cha-cha Stella when you want to kick back and relax. I give Stella a firm 9.5.

---

I know it doesn't really work, but I like Stella Celeste. It's so slippery and shining, a gliding goldfish in a round glass bowl.

---

I also like :
Stella Juliet
Stella Judy
Stella Blanche
Stella Ruth
Stella Pearl

Stella 10

I love Stella, I love double letters in names, I love Ella but prefer Stella its beautiful. Although the only neg. I have is I hear someone screaming STELLA in my head but not bad enough to kill my love of Stella.

Stella Rose
Stella Oriana
Stella Marley
Stella Jane
Stella Josephine
Stella Anneliese

I really like Stella. I think I would give it a 9/10.

---

Stella Rosalind
Stella Magdalen
Stella Deirdre
Stella Lily
Stella Margaret
Stella Bethany
Stella Carys
Stella Verity
Stella Lilac
Stella Violet
Stella Victoria

I love Stella - it's an 8 for me. My husband on the other hand thinks it's a hooker name. You are right it is ballsy but also has a starry romantic feel.

---

A friend of mine is called Stella - she doesn't go by it though, she is known as Brenda.

For me, Stella would rank as a 9. I like it for the reason I like my guilty pleasure, Ursula: It sounds powerful. I picture a lady who has a distinct personality and is no pushover. She's not a mean person, just a self-assured one.

---

I don't know any Stellas, although I did meet a freshman named Star back in college (around 1998).

---

Not sure about combos. But Astrid gives me the same vibe as Stella....

love it

---

I'd use it and rate it 8/10 or 9/10. It's not popular where I am. I think I've come across one Stella (Italian, must be in mid 30s by now) in my life.
