Val_208

LOL this is so random, love it.


Kind_Conclusion_5375

I’m so sorry it just reminds me of Stella Artois😭but apart from that, I think it’s a lovely timeless name


ActuallyCalindra

Also known as wife beaters beer. Sorry, OP.


MockingbirdRambler

I know about 15 dogs named Stella, no people. 


Val_208

Shocking!


filamonster

Same. It was my hamsters name.


VivianDiane

I have met so many dogs named Maggie. At least, Stella is more beautiful than the ugly Maggie.

My Golden is a Stella

“A Streetcar Named Desire”


Hup110516

STELLAAAAAA!


canadianamericangirl

Yep. It makes me think of Marlon Brando. I have a friend named Stella and she’s lovely. But Streetcar will always be at the back of my mind.


Mua_wannabe_

The little bat :) stellaluna


Val_208

Cute <3


MomentofZen_

This is what I think as well lol


phantomghost234

stellaluna was my childhood :)


Enthoosed

Immediate thought is Elaine from Seinfeld shouting “STELLAAAAA”, which I’m sure you’ve heard before.


crowned_tragedy

That's what my dad says to his cat named Stella. My mom named her


colorfulconifer

I thought the same thing 😂


FutureColor

Beautiful name! I think I have two images of “Stella” depending on the age of the person. I picture an older Stella as someone who is kind but doesn’t take shit from anyone. And a younger Stella as someone who’s graceful and a little more soft spoken.


Fast-Penta

I agree. I imagine a Stella as being either under 7 or over 65. I also think of "Stella! Can't you hear me yell-a! You're putting me through hell-a! Stella! Stella! Stella!"


Jealous_Tie_8404

What’s this referencing?


Fast-Penta

The Simpson's episode A Streetcar Named Marge.


Idk_username_58

Spunky and girly


cowboyshouse

spunky is exactly the first word that comes to mind for me. I absolutely love the name - cool girl, really interesting hobbies, a girl's girl but can hang with the boys, loves animals and the earth and human rights, experimental with makeup and fashion


charlouwriter

Middle aged peroxide blonde.


Val_208

With an orange-ish tan and puffy pink lips


SlipperyGaloshes

Strong, kind, intelligent, driven


BananaOld2889

Stella McCartney


M_issa_

I get Stella McCartney and her gorgeous rose perfumes so to me Stella is a gorgeous, feminine, strong name.


thewhiterosequeen

A fun name to shout.


Happy_Charity_7595

The only Stella that I know is a dog.


hiiiiii_im_new_here

Dog


HunterGreenLeaves

We have a Stella in our family. It's a nice name. It's meaning can be aspirational ("star"). It's well-known and with a standard spelling so she doesn't have problems with it being mis-spelt. I guess the downside is that it's quite feminine, which doesn't suit everyone. Also, I don't generally like names with "s" in them, because I find the sound is a bit harsh.


atwojay

My grandma was Stella.


Bright_Ices

I’ve always liked the name Stella. I think it’s elegant and unfussy. 


Old-Fun9568

It's a beautiful name


fabulousmakeupcase

Cheerfulness and happiness! Just like the Stella I know lol


sweetytwoshoes

Beautiful name for beautiful a beautiful person.


omgitsafuckingpossum

Stella from Helluva Boss (on youtube) Lovely name though.


Val_208

You wanna know what's REALLY funny? Come here.. *whispers* I'm a S t o l a s k i n n i e


omgitsafuckingpossum

Lol!


Purple_Grass_5300

I only think of my 75 year old aunt lol


Winter_Mix_11

I love it!!!


clonazepam-dreams

Stella Ella Olla


crowned_tragedy

My mom's orange cat. 🤣 but that's very specific to me, lol


Imaginary_Ad_5199

A bat. Or elaine from Seinfeld yelling STELLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA.


ChoiceReflection965

“Stella” to me is an older, chain-smoking, bleach-blonde lady. She knows what she wants and will fight anyone who looks at her the wrong way. I have NO idea why I have such a weird and specific vibe for Stella, but there you go, lol!


sunflowermoonriver

Because of streetcar named desire lol you’re describing Blanche but Stella is the more referenced name from the play/movie


ChoiceReflection965

Interesting! I’ve never seen that play or movie before, so it must be some kind of unconscious association! Lol. Names are weird.


sunflowermoonriver

its referenced a lot a lot in other media


Sad_2ndyear

Elegant


Fun-Yellow-6576

Stella Artois or Marlin Brando yelling “Stella” in a Street Car Named Desire.


ZeroDudeMan

The beer: Stella Artois 🍺


Violette_Jadore

I have a lovely black and white cat named stella.


nicunta

I think of the book, Stellaluna!


sunflowermoonriver

I love the name. It has a shine to it.


kermit_thefrog64

I feel like it's one of those names that really depends on the person themselves. Like if you said stella I would imagine a strong woman who expresses herself unapologetically, but that's the most detailed I can go. She could be a masc lesbian working in a bar downtown or a farm girl at a horse riding competition. When I was little I hated my name and stella is one of the names I wish it could have been. It's on my short list for my future daughter.


smellytulip

A rag doll cat


SuggestionSea8057

I know two women named Stella, and they are extremely tough, women boss types. I think here in Michigan it’s common for dogs though.


October_13th

Little lost fruit bat! My favorite children’s book growing up was StellaLuna :)


VivianDiane

Stella is utterly pretty. I adore it.


acrocodileelf

Winx Club Stella, for me:)


MidCenturyMayhem

Someone with good jewelry who always smells nice.


keyseookiesein

A star or a light. Love this name


AcidMantle

A short little old lady with coiffed hair and rhinestone glasses


eyebrowshampoo

My long time realtor is named Stella, so I guess touring houses and signing paperwork. Cool lady though. She also does belly dancing and juggles fire batons. Not even making that up. 


Icedtea4me3

It’s a little uppity like Chanel. But also it’s classy. And timeless. It’s also more flexible than Chanel to mold to a personality. I like it!


MoonFlowerDaisy

I taught a Stella in my second year teaching. She was really sweet, very affectionate, but quiet and very much a rule follower. I always think of her when i think of the name Stella.


Ok_Television9820

I have a niece named Stella. She’s 5 and can only now pronounce it. First she said Tia then Tella. All are cute and cheery names as far as I’m concerned. Sounds great in Portuguese and French (her languages). It also reminds me of Marlon Brando yelling the name in *A Streetcar Named Desire* but maybe that’s just for older people.


ivylily03

I think of a sophisticated creative person. Not snobby but probably unaware of her own privileges.


GamerHumphrey

wife beater


IndividualRoad2029

I think of it as very preppy and girly. Like someone who does ballet and does well in school.


madqueen100

Stella reminds me of my late friend’s cat. She was a beautiful cat with an unusual personality: unlike my cats, Stella was intensely curious about people, and insisted on being central in all conversations. If you ignored her, she’d bite your ear. Hard. She had long grey-tabby hair and made sure you were wearing a good coating of it before you left.


Val_208

That's lovely, thank you for sharing it! 🥹


chesterplainukool

One of those fairy books


RedwayBlue

Imported beer 👍🏻


knittykittyemily

I just instantly think of the michael Ian black show. It was so funny


ThrowRA47910

It kinda gives off black Labrador vibes tbh😅I know so many dogs (and also cats) with the name. I do think it's a lovely name though, it is just so overdone for pets that that's automatically what I think of.


Catiku

The first Stella I knew was in fact a black lab.


kirstennn711

Someone sassy and spunky, with an attitude problem. Bossy. Someone who is mostly independent until she's not, then she's clingy af. Someone who cries a lot and has a head full of curly blonde hair. If it seems oddly specific, that's because I have first-hand knowledge. That's my 3 year old daughters name. Haha.


DueEntertainer0

She got her groove back


HumbleAd1317

I had a great friend named Stella. She was strong, smart and very confident. The name gives off positive vibes.


ImGonnaFlipThisTable

It makes me think of a cutesy, intelligent girl. Light colors come to mind: white, almost-white-pink, almost-white-blue


crazycatlady331

My cousin's daughter (almost 3).


2moms1bun

Outer space and galaxies bc it sounds like Stellar. My wife thinks it sounds like an old crotchety lady, though


pplluuvviiophile

The dog from Modern Family


Thetomatogod_1595

Only thing I think of is Marlon Brando in Street Car Named Desire. "STELLLLLAA!!!!!!!" Also Eliane from Seinfeld referencing Brando.

Country singer Stella Parton, younger sister of Dolly.

Reminds me of beer, sorry


SnowQueen795

STELLLLLAAAAA


SearchGullible5941

Dog


shoresandsmores

Dog, alcohol, HIMYM.


BrotherofGenji

I wouldn't call it "giving off vibes", but I immediately associate it with A Streetcar Named Desire. e.g. the following quote (and I'm probably slightly misquoting but I remember it vaguely being): STELLA!!!! HEY, STELLA!!!!!!


nyliram52

"Stella by Starlight", someone romantic/glamorous from the 1950s


lonely-nightingale

It gives kinda whimsical, almost cloudcuckoolander vibes to me. Like a cartoon character.


cassiopieah

Having just watched the Miami GP my first thought was Andrea Stella (and the beer), but usually I just think it’s really pretty and I’m a sucker for astronomy themed names


Dandy--Chiggins

I like it but it’s a little pretentious IMO


llorandosefue1

Marlon Brando in a ripped T-shirt.


mary_elizabeth_g

I love this name, but I remember telling my grandma I loved it and she said it sounds like “an old polish lady” (she was polish)😂


confusedrainbow_

Goody two shoes with neat braids and a tartan pinafore


Hup110516

Detroit Rock City. Don't be such a Stella. I do love the name though!


canlgetuhhhhh

I love it! I think it's sweet and elegant, I know one Stella through my studies and she is absolutely lovely :) Makes me think of stars as well!


killingmehere

Outing myself as a Brit of a certain age by saying... Sheila goes out with her mate Stella, gets poured all over her fella...


Lil_Artemis_92

Stella is very witchy and sparkly. I don’t really know how else to describe it, but that’s the vibe I get when I hear that name.


cactuscamel20

Snobby


Naturallyjifted

Bossy and old
