I love Stella, like Estelle, and Estella is okay. I like most astral names, though. Astor, Aster, Celeste, Celestine, Celestia, Star, etc. If Steliana is pronounced stel-ee-ah-na, then I like it. I do not like Stelara because of the short A, but a long A would not change my opinion much.
Estrella is trending in the US right now and I wished I liked it, but I don't.

Stella is my favorite. I’m not a fan of the others. Steliana is lovely though.

I love them. Stella is my favorite, followed by Estella then Estelle.

Estelle is my favorite. I like Stella too, but I don't know if people would call out her name as Marlon Brando's character does in the movie "A Streetcar Named Desire". Estella is just a little too frilly.
Stelara has been pinched by a pharmaceutical for its drug for psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and other conditions.

I like Stella best then Estelle. Don't really like Estella. Steliana is too frilly and Stelara just doesn't feel right

I love all of these very much!

For me: Estelle > Stella > Estella

All the variants are gorgeous as well!

For me
Stella > Estelle > Estella

The only one I like at all, and I like it very much, is Stella. Neat and tidy and straight from the Latin: what more could anyone want? I'm not keen on French spellings for names in English, like Isabelle, when there is an English alternative. Estelle isn't quite like that, but I far prefer Stella, for its rhythm as well as its origin. Estella doesn't know which way to go: I really don't see the point.

My personal like is Estelle, I think these three have different vibes. And Stella was actually my older sister’s English name.

Estelle is my favourite. It's the epitome of retro glamour. Pure art deco. Even though the height of its popularity was 1911, I associate it with the 30s and 40s, big time. I suppose all those 1911 Estelles were at the peak of their power in around then, so that makes sense! It's a perfect name, in my book. Sadly my partner is not a fan of any "stell" names because of a bad association.

I like Stella a lot too; I understand why its rising right now. It's quirky-retro and fits in perfectly with the Violets and Hazels and Lilys. It's a lot lighter than Estelle, which has gravitas. I guess Stella runs the greatest risk of feeling dated in the future, because it's the most popular. It sure seems like a popular name for dogs, where I live, so it has a friendly, happy-go-lucky sort of aura to it.

Estella is nice, but my least favourite. I don't know why I can't get into this version as much. I think maybe too much is happening and I find it distracting. It's not as calm and composed as Estelle, yet it also lacks Stella's sunny jazz energy.

Estelle has been a favorite name of mine for years! I just love how it's classy, unpopular nowadays, and that awesome meaning! Estelle sounds very elegant and vibrant to me. Estella ranks next, though I also really like Stella...you couldn't go wrong with either, in my opinion. Stelara is an interesting choice that I've admired for a while. Steliana is alright, though it seems a tad over-the-top, but it's pretty-sounding.

I've seen the names Estellene and Estellina multiple times in local graveyards. I think that they're both interesting, though I definitely prefer Estelle.
