We want to name our daughter [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and thought of the middle name [name_f]Marie[/name_f] to go with it so [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. Our last name starts with an A and ends with N so we don’t want middle names like Ann otherwise it will be a repetition of A and N.
But, we want to know your opinion and any other middle name suggestions! (meanings that will go with Stella which means star would be great too!)
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is cute. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] would be cute.
There are a couple of associations with that combo that are worth taking into consideration, if you’re not already aware of them:
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] is another name for Polaris (the guiding star), which is a lovely association.
It’s also a title for the Virgin [name_f]Mary[/name_f], and has quite strong religious connotations for many Catholics (either as [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] or in the common English translation Our Lady, [name_f]Star[/name_f] of the Sea).
This might be lovely or problematic, depending on your religious status and attitude toward religious names. If the association worries you, it’s probably best to avoid all of the “[name_f]Mary[/name_f]” names in the middle ([name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], etc)
You might already realise this - in fact, it might be why you chose the name. If so, sorry for stating the obvious!
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is pretty, but [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is just so overused imo that it’s not really something I would ever use. I think there are a lot more pretty & creative names out there–but, it’s obviously popular for a reason. It flows well, and it fits with nearly any name. I think it’s a good albeit safe choice.
[name_f]Marie[/name_f] is a very common middle name and because of that I usually don’t like combos with it, but I think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] sounds beautiful! Classic and sweet. Some of my favorites middle names for [name_f]Stella[/name_f]:
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f] (I love this one especially, it sounds so elegant)
Whatever you choose I know it will sound gorgeous, [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is already a lovely name.
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_f]Stella[/name_f]! [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is so cute!
