I love it!!! Most probably we will name our daughter Stella. Still looking for a middle name...
by yleniarizzoliBeautiful!
by daliax22Love it! My husband and I named our daughter Stella Reese.
by stefconoverthis was Jennifer's husband chiming in on my wifes account. Sorry!
by Jennifer GalloMy wife was extremely close with her Grandmother who's name was "Stella." She made a promise to her that she would name her first daughter after her. Today we found out we'll be having a baby Stella and we couldn't be happier. I was told all other names were "off the table!" With that said, i have grown to love this name and i pray it doesn't become too popular. I love the fact that its a classic and i know not one single Stella. She will be called "Stella May." Middle name after the month my beautiful wife was born. Today.....is a good day!
by Jennifer GalloStella was my great grandmother's name and Rose is my mom's name...so if it is a girl, Stella Rose.
by merricksmomWe are going to name our baby stella grace. I love it! Stella is "star" and grace is "blessing" and she definately is a blessing!
by kgieselerLove it! My husband and I named our daughter Stella Rose.
by CABarnardI love it!!! My daughter's name is Stella Elizabeth. It's a beautiful name. I'm pregnant again and I"m not sure I'm going to be able to find a name I love as much
by Steogue20usThis is my name! I was named after my great-grandmother and I've always enjoyed having a unique name (no doubles in class) that at the same time was easy to spell and pronounce and didn't have any unfortunate nicknames!
by SaoirsephotoI have a 3 year old named, Whitney, but if the Lord blesses me with another daughter, her name will be, Stella Harlow. Stella is such a beautiful (and yes, vintage name...which I love). My grandfather used to call my grandmother "Estelle" (although her name was, Betty. LOL I have just always thought it was beautiful, but my, Whitney Leigh, was meant to be exactly who she is and it suits her perfectly. I wouldn't change one thing about her....except to make her a big sister of a Stella!!
by THewitt28my Daughter's name is Stella Helena and I love it sooo much it fits her perfect:) And yes Lana Stella's daddy also loves the beer:) and I just love the vintage style of the name. plus the fact that it means star and the middle name (Helena) we used turned out to mean light.
by Alexandra.GarvinThis was my Grandmother's name and I am so excited to name my daughter after her, Stella Elizabeth
by jmebuchananIt's my top pick too and I'm hoping it doesn't get too popular before we use it! My great grandmothers name was Estella but we are just using Stella and considering it a family name. I think it's beautiful!
by nbk9q4iMy first pick if I have a little girl. Such a classic feminine name, that's coming back in style and not yet overused. Hubby loves the beer and I love the designer!! My maided initials were LL and I love that its got a double L in there...and her initialls will be double SS :)
