One of those those name that just rolls right off the tongue. I haven't met any Estrellas yet, though. I personally find the (Latin American) pronunciation a lot prettier, then again that's mostly because I can't imagine anyone else having this name other than a Spanish speaker.

My name is Estrella. I think people should try to say it right. Or say it in English "star" it's beautiful too in English, but it's much better in Spanish. I get mad whenever someone says it wrong. OOOOF. I love my name. It's a great name and it's unique in America. :) Beautiful name.
My name is Estrella, and I was born in Spain (where Estrella is pronounced "e-STRAY-a"). Two years ago, I moved to England, and my classmates, not knowing Spanish, pronounced my name as "e-STREL-ə". While I'm aware this pronunciation isn't correct, I think it sounds even lovelier than the original :-) PS. Sorry for my English, I'm still learning!

It has a pearl-like lustre whether you pronounce it the correct, Spanish way or the English way (though I confess I like the English one slightly better). Reminds me of a short phrase from a book I read - "the host of stars swinging so low as almost to touch the palms" - palms being palm trees, of course. Good mental image.
