Re: Estella
in reply to a message by Lily
Estella has been my favourite name pretty much all my life. At least as long as I can remember. I'd love to get to use it one day.I also really like Estelle and Stella, but Esther sounds kind of slurred to me for some reason so I don't care for it as much.The only problem I have with Estelle is that around here a lot of people accent the T too strongly and so they end up saying it ess-TEL and I don't like that because I've always blended the S and T together when I say it so it's more es-STEL.I would use Estella in a heartbeat and it's my favourite.
I would rank Stella decond because of the classic feel and all the litereary associations.
Then Estelle.
Esther last.Do you like Stelara?
I always think of it with these.If I had my way, I'd name a daughter Estella Juliet or Estella Vivienne / Viviana.

Estella Juliet was my favorite combo for a long time. That's such a weird coincidence! Estella was my #1 name for over three years. Now it has been replaced by Meadow but I'd still consider Estella as well. Stelara is cute but too much like Stella + Lara to appeal to me.
