Stella - Stellar or Stale?

I love the name, but am wondering if it will continue to rise in popularity. What do you think? [name]How[/name] many baby Stellas do you know in real life?

Stellar!

I like [name]Estella[/name] (yay Dickens reference) but that is definitely a little more old-lady chic than [name]Stella[/name] which is very modern :slight_smile: I don’t know any actual Stellas except a cat. An 11-year-old that I babysit named [name]Mia[/name] would have been named [name]Stella[/name] but her mom picked [name]Mia[/name] at the hospital.

I like [name]Stella[/name] :slight_smile: I’ve never met one [name]IRL[/name] and I think it’s very pretty.

I like [name]Stella[/name] too! It’s so pretty, short and sweet but still strong:)

I’d say…Stellar!!

I like [name]Stella[/name] a lot but I can’t use it because it sounds silly with my last name. I’ve only met one, she’s around 9 years old. I don’t think it’s too in danger of getting popular.

I love [name]Stella[/name]. It is my grandmother’s name and if she wasn’t crazy we might actually use the name! [name]Shame[/name] she ruined it for us :frowning:

I named my dog [name]Stella[/name] about nine years ago, and I have always regretted that I didn’t save it for a child. However, I do think that, like [name]Ruby[/name], we will see a burst of young Stellas in the coming years, and the name won’t be as unique as it once would have been. I know of two little Stellas right now.

I know several Stellas but they are elementary age children not babies. I love it!

Personally, I think it’s stale, but that’s just from being on Nameberry so much. I think in the outside world, it’s stellar.

I love [name]Stella[/name] (and [name]Estella[/name]) and have only heard of one person with that name although haven’t actually met them, I think it’s one of those trendy names that isn’t actually popular or used that often but people generally tend to like it.

Stellar!!! [name]Love[/name] it!!!

I have actually never met a [name]Stella[/name]/[name]Estelle[/name]/[name]Estella[/name], so I think it is stellar!

Beautiful, but she would probably turn around every time she heard [name]Bella[/name] or [name]Ella[/name].

Ha, Stellar, for sure. I think [name]Stella[/name] shines.

Very, very pretty. I think it’s popularity is justified and will probably continue. I don’t know any [name]Stella[/name], but I don’t meet a lot of babies.

It’s stellar!

(and I don’t know any babies named [name]Stella[/name] in real life… I live in the midwest United States)

stellar, for sure!!!
