I know a Luna, a very focused and headstrong academic. The name doesn't seem to suit her at all. I also know a Stella who always goes by her mn, and her granddaughter who goes by Stella.I really would never ever use Luna or even think about it. It's much too close to 'loony' and 'lunatic'.I like Stella a lot and might have considered it if I had enough daughters; much nicer than Sarah, for instance. But I like a lot of names better than Stella, mostly for personal and family reasons.

I love them both but I like Stella better if I had to choose just one. Luna and Stella are a GP twinset of mine.

Stella because Luna is much too close to the words "loon" and "lunatic".

I'd definitely choose Stella. It's more substantial and more recognisable as a name or nickname. It's popular but it's got more staying power.Luna is insubstantial and reminds me of lunatic. Plus it's trendy.I'd much rather my name mean "Star" than "Moon".

I'd choose Luna, because I like the sound, and the Harry Potter character. I've never liked how Stella sounds for some reason, although I like the star connection.

Stella, without a second's thought. Luna just sounds stupid. Stella is very pretty.BTW, there's a famous kids' picture-book called Stellaluna." The title character is a baby fruit bat.

I don't like either much. Luna makes me think of 'lunatic' and sounds like a Harry Potter fangirl name, and Stella reminds me of the beer Stella Artois. I guess if I had to pick, I'd choose Stella as it feels a bit more classic.

I love Luna. I used to love Stella, but it has become so trendy here that I'm almost tired of it. When I was a child, it was rare and exciting. But now I've met both a Luna and a little Stella.

StellaI've never been a fan of Luna. It just just sounds, I dunno...flimsy. It always brings to mind terms like Lunatic, loony bin and even butt because of the 'moon\mooning' slang. (The name meaning moon) I just cannot get passed those to take the name seriously. I also just don't like how the name sounds. Stella in my opinion is more practical and it actually sounds beautiful. My older sister has a friend who has a daughter named Stella. She's approximately 4 or 5 years old and although I've seen her only a few times, I think the name fits her perfectly. To me, Stella looks and sounds far better than 'luna'

Hello :)I like both of them, but I prefer Luna.The reasons why:1. It is less popular. I don't know if this will change but I guess not.
2. It has a nice image. I love the moon and I think of Harry Potter and in general of a sweet young girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. Stella makes me think of the stars but also of beer (Stella Artois) and for some reason of a loud, overweight, annoying older woman who works in a bar, drinks and smokes lots and likes to shout at people. She also has 50 cats and smells of cat pee. Sometimes I can get this association out of my head and then I really like Stella but most of the time this association is at least there somewhere in the background. I find Estelle a bit more elegant but it also makes me think of a chain smoking older lady. Estella doesn't, but it is a bit harsh and cold.
3. Luna looks nice and clear written down whereas Stella looks a bit messy. I also dislike how Stella rhymes with the very popular Ella and Isabella.The thing I dislike about Luna is that there are many similar sounding names that are common here such as Lena and Lina. But because of the strong letter U I do find it more distinctive.I like both of them, but Luna is my favorite! Ohhh and I know a little girl named Stella-Luna but I think it is a bit much.

I don't like either much, but prefer Luna. It's quite attractive, but there are names I prefer with similar meanings, such as Lucine and Selene. I think that the "lunatic" jokes would get too much. Stella, I dislike more. To me, Stella is a brand of lager - Stella Artois. I don't really understand why it's so popular. Estelle is a more attractive, but not my style.
