This is one of my FAVORITE girl names! I've met two Stella's, and they were both really nice! I don't think it's too common, and I like how it gives that astronomy vibe, but not like you're trying to hard.

Really good name! The meaning is amazing, it sounds quite nice and very uncommon where I live. BUT (and a very big but here) there is one flaw. Where I live, their is a beer company called this which kind of puts me off of this name, sorry. TLDR: I like the name, just there is a beer company.

Stella Grant is the main female character in the book "Five Feet Apart" and its 2019 adaptation movie. She is a 17-year-old girl with Cystic Fibrosis, a terminal genetic disease that damages the patient's lungs and has a high rate of early mortality. The disease isn't contagious, but patients have a high risk of cross-infection, so it is necessary for them to keep a distance of at least six feet between each other. The book and movie tell the story of how Stella met and fell in love with a fellow Cystic Fibrosis-er named Will Newman, and their relationship five feet apart from each other.

I want to love this name so much, I really want to. It's bright in both sound and meaning. It's feminine and happy and rolls off the tongue. Simply beautiful.
But every time I hear it, I can't help being reminded specifically of the Marlon Brando impression that Elaine did on Seinfeld - and I can't stand that show because it brings up personal memories of bad times, so the name is just forever tainted for me. I'm likely the only one who thinks of this particular association first, and if not, I'm at least the only one who can't get past this association.
If anything the original movie quote might potentially be a bit of a negative. How many times have real life Stellas had their name yelled at them over the years?

Hmm... I'm not so sure about Stella. I mean, don't get me wrong, in general I think that Stella is a beautiful, original and charming name. Seriously. It's just that... for some reason I always imagine a vain and superficial girl, probably because since I was a child I have associated this name with the character of Stella from the Winx. I'm sorry, the truth is that I don't understand it either, but for that reason I wouldn't give my daughter that name. On the contrary, Estelle seems friendlier to me. I prefer Estelle.

I love Stella! It's very sweet, celestial and angelic, melodious and energetic but kinda frilly at the same time. Its meaning is a bit cliche but still lovely. I don't know any Stellas in person at all, I'd love to meet one someday, but it is quite a rare name over here, I like it for that too. It has also the sweet -ella ending which makes this name so magical. One of my guilty pleasure imaginary sib-set ideas is a girl / girl twin set named Stella and Luna, so gorgeous! I much prefer the way we pronounce it here as STEL-lah, rather than with just one l, I think it has more charm and melody this way.

Like most Latin names, Stella is very unique and virtuous, since it means star, but is also very predictable with the meaning, like with Victoria meaning victory, Bella meaning beautiful, Gemma meaning gem, Flora meaning flower, and many others.

Another literary example is the play "Stella" by the famous German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It was originally published in 1776 but created a huge scandal because at the end of the play the two heroines, Stella and Cecilia, are living in a menage a trois with Fernando, the man they both love. Goethe rewrote the play thirty years later in 1806 in a version where Stella and Fernando both commit suicide, leaving only Cecilia alive at the end, which was at that point in history a less scandalous ending for German audiences.

Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store:
Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and
Maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake
And a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red
Bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

I have always loved this name since I was young. We named our first daughter Stella and it fits her perfectly. She's strong and bold, yet so sweet and delicate.

Obviously I'm biased, but my Stella is such a special girl who just seems to float through this life breathing in every possible thing she can. Such a great name. It's ethereal, just like her:)

Hello, my name is Stella and I'm 12. I really like my name and my dad was Italian so he picked it for me. I've done a lot of traveling as my dad moves around a lot and my mum has said to me that she has never met another Stella anywhere. I haven't either. I think it's more unique than some websites say it is. I personally really like my name and the meaning. I have nicknames such as Stell, Stells and Stella Bella. The good thing is, everyone pronounces it correctly as it is easy to read.

My name is Stella. And I love my name. In my life I've never met a Stella, and for some reason I like that because it shows how unique and unpopular the name is and it makes me feel special. The one thing is that everyone I meet are like "STELLA" which is funny but I would see them like, everyday and they'd do that constantly. My parents are Italian or Greek. They liked the name and so that's what happened. I'm proud to have the name I was given. Some people want to be be named other things but your name makes you, you, even if you have a really common name like Jack or Grace.

I believe that Stella's are born under the most luminous stars and that they carry amazing old souls.

Putting my two cents into the usage debate - Stella truly IS an Italian name. It seems to have had usage since at least the 19th century, judging by old records. Stella might have been used in Italy for much longer than that, since in Italy there exists this title of the Virgin Mary: "Madonna della Stella" (of whom there are several shrines dedicated to in Italy). Maybe over the years Stella's popularity with Anglophones has eclipsed its Italian popularity - but it's still an Italian name. By the way, I have grown to love the name Stella!

I love this name - both its sound and its meaning. It's a lot sweeter than calling your kid Star, and it would suit a girl throughout her life (picture Baby Stella, Stella the Grade-Schooler, Teen Stella, Stella at University, Mommy Stella, etc). I also think it makes an amazing nickname for Estella, one of my all-time favourite names.
But then again, the name will always make some people think: "STELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

It's amazing how words can just SOUND their meaning - Stella sounds positively luminescent. Beautiful.

This is a lovely name with a nice meaning. I slightly prefer Estella, but this is a great name either way, very pretty and nicely simple, but not too girly and cutesy. It's far more interesting than the currently overused Ella.

I teach at Gymboree (classes for kids from birth to age 5) and we've noticed a recent upswing in little Stellas in our younger classes. Something to consider if you want to avoid an overly popular name.

I personally think it is ugly, (and makes me think of the beer though the meaning of star was obviously first), the proper Italian pronunciation (it is an Italian name after all) is much nicer, STAYL-la.

My name is Stella. I happen to love my name. So do most other people I've met. Only thing I can complain about is that I have been subjected to FAR too many Brando impersonations for my fifteen years. I suppose I've become immune to it now, though.

This is my Grandma's name, and she loves it! I do, too. I believe that this name means "Star" because the name STELLA is in the word conSTELLAtion, and a constellation is a group of stars. Wow, I'm pretty good! :-)

Stella is a great name. It is sophisticated. With the popularity of Ella I am surprised this name isn't used more often. I actually prefer Stella myself.

I think this is a pretty name. It reminds me of a strong, beautiful woman. It would fit someone her whole life: as a child, a teenager and a grown woman.

No, it's not actually an Italian name. It's an English coinage of a name taken from an Italian/Latin word. So I guess if there is a "correct" pronunciation it would be the English one; it's not traditionally used as a name in Italy, and it's used as one was English.
