[Opinions] Stella
in reply to a message by Danno
Bella on its own is boring and Twilight ruined it. Also the Ella trend helped to make it too trendy.Arabella is probably my favorite -bella name. Stella is my favorite -ella name. If I had a Arabella she'd get called Ari or Ara or Ellie or Ella. Stella would get either Stellie or Ellie or Ella.I met a baby named Mirabella born just before Bella got super trendy and before Twilight. Isabella was trendy at the time though. I don't think they realized that but maybe they did. I actually like Mirabella, probably about as much as Arabella.I wish Ella wasn't quite so trendy since Ella is a family name and I'm not certain I'd feel comfortable using it. Also it is probably part of Stella's growing popularity.I grew up with a Stella who has become a NYC harajuku punk abstract vintage fashion model with her own small clothing business where she makes each piece. Our mother's were punk party animals back in the day. Her mother was a model and her father a semi famous punk rocker. Stella and I took dance classes instead of attending preschool. Then later in life we went to high school together. I've always loved the name Stella. I also always loved the name Maxine which is her mother's name.
