[name_f]Stella[/name_f], to me, sounds positively luminescent. Beautiful. I love it for both its sound and its meaning. It has a certain magical shine to it that makes me think of fairies I believe that [name_f]Stella[/name_f]'s are born under the most luminous stars and that they carry amazing old souls. I also love that itās a name that would suit her throughout her whole life.
A little history behind [name_f]Stella[/name_f]:The name derives from the Latin title of the Virgin [name_f]Mary[/name_f], āstella marisā meaning āstar of the sea.ā The Spanish [name_f]Estella[/name_f], and thus the English and [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], also derives from the Latin āstellaā meaning āstar.ā
This name was created by the 16th-century poet Sir [name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_u]Sidney[/name_u] for the subject of his collection of sonnets āAstrophel and [name_f]Stella[/name_f]ā. It was not commonly used as a given name until the 19th century.
Obviously I really like [name_f]Stella[/name_f]! What are everyone elseās thoughts?
What nicknames do you like best? I personally love [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f].
Would also like some ideas on middles. Last name is [name_m]Farmer[/name_m].
I adore [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. Itās everything I love in a name - versatile, spunky, feminine yet strong, magical. I personally like it nickname-free, though like it a lot as a nickname for the Dickensian name [name_f]Estella[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is okay, though it reminds me of the dog in Disneyās The [name_f]Princess[/name_f] and the Frog. Iāve only known one [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and she is in her 20ās. I personally prefer it without a nickname and would stay away from the [name_f]Ella[/name_f]/[name_f]Elle[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] nicknames because they are so so popular especially right now. I think that one of the pros of the name [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is that it is different from all the little [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]'s
I love [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. She is the perfect blend of vintage, hipster cool, sweet, spunky, romantic, naturey, literary. Etc etc. I would use it for a daughter if I hadnāt already used it or my cat.
I love [name_f]Stella[/name_f], but I wouldnāt ruin it with a nickname. I think it is already short enough not to be given a nickname. Itās so beautiful, to shorten it to a nickname is just tragic.
Oh I love [name_f]Estella[/name_f]! I will never be able to use it again since I named my guinea pig stella, Iāve got to stop using all my names on pets. [name_m]Levi[/name_m] is out too heās my dog lol darn!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Stella[/name_f]! [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_m]Farmer[/name_m] is a great name! I know a [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and sheās 11! I donāt think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] has any nicknames, and with [name_f]Stella[/name_f], you donāt really need one! [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t use [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is so much prettier! The [name_f]Stella[/name_f] I know, her older sister sometimes calls her Stells (and apparently their family does), but thatās it for nicknames. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is so pretty!
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] is a great name but I like [name_f]Estella[/name_f] or [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] even more. [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] girl to get those names.
I like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] too, and also prefer it āas isā.
[name_f]My[/name_f] personal preference though is the addition of the āEā in front: [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Estella[/name_f].
As for mns, i wouldnāt choose one with an āLā in it.
I love [name_f]Stella[/name_f]! It is so beautiful and its meaning is perfect! I also love the nickname [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] but I think that [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is perfect by itself.
I love [name_f]Stella[/name_f]! Itās one of my favorite names at the moment. I like it nickname free, but I do love the nicknames [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], I also like the nickname Stell. Here are some suggestions of middle names that I would put with itā¦[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Paisley[/name_u], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Gracelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Zoey[/name_f].
I never really liked [name_f]Stella[/name_f] much however speaking of luminosity or so it reminded me, I read the name Stellaluna on here just today and fell in love with it, so yeah, itās good.
