[Opinions] Estella
Replies
I have a soft spot for Estella, it was DH's great grandma's name. I think it would get confused with Stella, so if that bothers you, I'd avoid it. This is from the mother of a Cecilia who routinely gets Celia (doesn't bother me, I love them both). So let that be a consideration. Personally I like options, so I tend to go for a longer name and then use nicknames. Estella is great that way b/c you get Estella, Estelle, Stel, Stella.
I don't know how I'd really rank the names, because I do like them all. At this very moment, I'd probably go-
Esther
Estella
Estelle
Stella

Estella has been my favourite name pretty much all my life. At least as long as I can remember. I'd love to get to use it one day.
I also really like Estelle and Stella, but Esther sounds kind of slurred to me for some reason so I don't care for it as much.
The only problem I have with Estelle is that around here a lot of people accent the T too strongly and so they end up saying it ess-TEL and I don't like that because I've always blended the S and T together when I say it so it's more es-STEL.
I would use Estella in a heartbeat and it's my favourite.
I would rank Stella decond because of the classic feel and all the litereary associations.
Then Estelle.
Esther last.
Do you like Stelara?
I always think of it with these.
If I had my way, I'd name a daughter Estella Juliet or Estella Vivienne / Viviana.
