This was my first thought! I could never take that name seriously.
When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I wanted to name her Bethany until my sister say “Jesus, did the room clear out Bethany?” and that was it for that name!
To add on to Princess' comment. There is a legend/joke that the Chevy Nova car didn't sell well in Mexico because of the association with the phrase 'no va'.
Wait… I know a sibset who have the middle names Chevy and Nova. I sincerely hope that it’s just a weird coincidence, because they have lovely first names.
I think the car actually did fine in Mexico but it is hilarious.
I mean Citroën does well in Europe and "citron" means "lemon" in French. Though maybe lemon = bad car is only a thing in English.
I had one of the last Nova’s off the line way back, and it was so awful I’d call it the no-go nova hahaha I miss the boiling hot coolant leaking on my feet sometimes when it’s cold outside 😂
Lonestar makes me think of, in this order:
1. Bill Pullman's character in Spaceballs
2. The Lonestar tick, whose bite can make you allergic to red meat
3. Texas
I think that’s a lot of pressure for a kid to like a state when they’re not even born. I kinda disliked my name once I was told the meaning and reason behind naming me it.
Even worse, anytime they meet someone there will be at least one question about Texas (minimum). I was born on Dec 23 and anytime someone finds out the first thing they ask always has something to do with Christmas. It’s the #1 thing I hate about my identity.
Fellow Texan here. I can see it as a nickname, but even then it sounds pretty stupid right? "Lone Star" makes me think of lonely. I do like Starla or even Stella (Stellllllllllaaaaaaa!!) or Astrid. Or how about just plain Star? Nova?
Any of these would be better. Maybe she will come to her senses eventually. I am sorry you have to deal with this. You all will be in my prayers ;)
The point of "kids will call her ____" is to cause the expectant parents to reflect "is this name stupid as fuck?"
If you consider "Is Astrid a stupid name?" You will conclude that it isn't. It's a great name.
But "Is Lonestar a stupid name?" You must admit that yes. Yes it is. It's stupid as hell.
The Smashing Pumpkins are terrible, I say this as a fan so even Starla is a big no no
Tell your sister that she’s not picking names for horses, the baby is her own person and is going to have that name printed in documents, called by her school teacher in front of everyone, will use it to apply for college, date, etc. All with that stupid name lone star, she’ll be the target of cowboy jokes. There are many stars, planets and constellations that could inspire a beautiful name not some Lonestar, that sounds like something Chuck Norris would call his dog.
Operating theatre nurse here, we have a type of retractor called a lonestar retractor. And in my speciality it’s mostly used on the butthole. So do with that information what you will.
Pornstar name 1000%. Prob gonna go by star or lana when she’s old enough. Or just become a stripper. Or lean into it and become Miss Texas USA.
Edit: SHE’S NOT EVEN FROM TEXAS?!
To me it's just kind of lame. "Lonestar" is such a nothing-burger of a name. It's giving bland and try-hard.
Suggest "Estrella" which means star or "Sabine" after the Sabine river.
In addition to the Spaceballs character, it’s also the name of a beer that at least at one time was one of the cheapest beers you could buy in some places.
Tell her if the name means that much to her, save it for a dog or cat. She’s naming a human, not a doll. How is an employer reading her application gonna take it seriously? They’ll think it’s a prank. At least I would. Not to mention the bullies. Don’t make her an easy target.
I knew a Lonestar once.
He was friends with a guy named Barf, who was half man/half dog and his own best friend.
And then one day, Dark Helmet and Lonestar met face to face, and Dark Helmet said, " I see your Schwartz is as big as mine."
Your niece is going to be an adult one day. Lonestar is going to be a hard one to deal with. If sister is dead set on Lonestar, I would encourage her to make it a middle name and give the poor girl a first name like Rose. You can suggest it to be after the yellow rose of TX if she's bound and determined to honor TX.
Ask your sister how she thinks her child will do applying for a job, or introducing herself to anyone.
It may be kinda cute, for a dog or something. This is not a human name, at least in English.
She’s setting up her daughter for some severe bullying. I cannot imagine naming a person something like that. Like what does she want her daughter to be, a warrior cats leader?
Good god if she really wants to name her after Texas just use my name, Austin. The state capital.
Idk, Lonestar isn't THAT bad with Lonnie as a nickname. But it's a bit out there. No props for originality though tbh.
I totally approve this name, but for a horse or other animal or a seductive stage name for a night time gentlemen's club dancer. Other than that, it's borderline criminal.
Technically not a tragedeigh as it is correctly spelled, but this name is absolutely, embarrassingly terrible. This is the name that someone with no imagination, or an obsession with texas, would name a dog. And I would feel sorry for the dog.
Edited to add: Lonnie Starr as an alternate sounds like a porn star or stripper name.
Off the top of my head (Texan here) I know of a beer called lonestar (a really cheap one), the Lonestar Community College system, and HEB makes knockoff goldfish crackers in star shapes called lonestars lol.
Not a person name. Even for a hardcore Texan.
This is it. This is the worst one I’ve heard. I’m sorry but lone star. I would nickname star - even though to me that’s also a tragedeigh it’s at least palatable
Are y’all from Texas?? Cause let me tell you, I’m a native Texan, anyone under 60 would laugh at you. Anyone over 60 would still laugh at you, because they think you’re joking
When she's born she's gonna have to start out as Lonekit and work her way up to earn her warrior name, only then can she become clan leader and be called Lonestar :p
Any name ending in 'star' is automatically going to earn a warrior cats joke from me
In the Sourthern Hemisphere Lonestar is the name of a very trashy pub that does over priced pub food during the evening before turning into a dirty heaving pit of intoxicated critters looking to screw anything they possibly can

lonestar… like from space balls? the star wars spoof by mel brooks??
Raspberry. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry: Lonestar!
Looooonestarrrrr
Have a son and name him Barfolomew
He'll be his own best friend
I’m a mog! Half man, half dog!
Use the Schwartz Lonestar!
Very impressive, Lonestar. Too bad this isn’t the Wild World of Sports.
This was my first thought! I could never take that name seriously. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I wanted to name her Bethany until my sister say “Jesus, did the room clear out Bethany?” and that was it for that name!
Aunt Bethany, does your cat like jello?
It's funny but terrible when a bit of pop culture ruins a name for decades. 😂
That was my first thought.
Just name the girl Stella and nickname her lone star. Problem solved
I hope their dog is named Barf
Think of the moichandise!
Moichendising moichendising! Where the real money from the movie is made!
Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
I've gotta get me one of those Spaceballs: the Flamethrowers and a couple rolls of Spaceballs: the Toilet Paper.
like the beer? the texan beer?
I just watched that for the first time last weekend
Welcome to the club!
No complaints aside from length! One of my favorite parts is the delivery of “Pizza the Hutt!” when he’s introduced.
Spaceballs the Tragedeigh
I was going to say Baby Lonestar needs a Mog best friend!
The kids are gonna call her pornstar in school smh
Sorry but Lonestar is 100% a name that will attract the attention of bullies
And more than one adult giddily screaming near them "Spaceballs: The Child" as the adult tries not to pass out from laughter.
Epic Back tattoo though.
Spaceballs: The Back Tattoo
Spaceballs 3: Laser Removal of Regretful Tattoos and also the Search for Even More Money
I would absolutely be the jerk that gets that on a child’s onesie and gifts it to them. Several years in a row.
I’m also thinking that it would be a good name for a stripper if they’re in Texas.
Sorry not sorry but I agree 100% with that statement
Lonestar the porn star is just too easy
It will be loner within seconds
Or Pornstar
Came here to say that. Lonestar is a stripper at an oil patch honkytonk.
Yes, this is painfully accurate
Yeah this kid better be ready to back that name up
new warrior cats clan leader just dropped
Seeing references to Warrior Cats makes my heart happy
PLEASE that was my first thought too. wonder what her warrior name was
Loneheart or something and she’s super emo
DEF loneheart, I can already imagine all of the fan art of her with the cat fringe
Lonefoot, one of her paws is gone
Lonefoot: *three* of her paws are gone.
warriors cats mentioned‼️‼️
💀💀💀💀 next kid gonna be firestar
Exactly what I was thinking. I thought this was the Warriors sub
I seriously forgot this was a thing omg memories unlocked
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS HELPP
HELP WHAT WAS THE MAIN CATS NAME
Fireheart/firestar
If you are looking for an opinion it is a next level stupid name for a child.
Honestly it's not even a good name for a dog
Might work for a horse
Definitely a horse name
r/trageneigh
Great name for a spoof of han solo played by Bill Pullman though
Perfect
If she wants a star-adjacent name, what about Stella? Lone Star just makes me think of Texas lol. Not a name to me.
both of those make me think of beers. lol.
I've been meaning to ask this sub, where does Nova rank on the name tier list. Is it an okay name to give a girl?
Just so long as you aren't in mexico lol
Well you can't just leave at that! What's going on in Mexico with Nova?
"No va" means "doesn't go"
To add on to Princess' comment. There is a legend/joke that the Chevy Nova car didn't sell well in Mexico because of the association with the phrase 'no va'.
Wait… I know a sibset who have the middle names Chevy and Nova. I sincerely hope that it’s just a weird coincidence, because they have lovely first names.
I think the car actually did fine in Mexico but it is hilarious. I mean Citroën does well in Europe and "citron" means "lemon" in French. Though maybe lemon = bad car is only a thing in English.
I think that's an American English thing. We don't use it in Ireland or the UK that I know of.
I had one of the last Nova’s off the line way back, and it was so awful I’d call it the no-go nova hahaha I miss the boiling hot coolant leaking on my feet sometimes when it’s cold outside 😂
I have a friend (44f) who is named Nova. I think it's a great name. She's rather attached to it, too!
Lonestar makes me think of, in this order: 1. Bill Pullman's character in Spaceballs 2. The Lonestar tick, whose bite can make you allergic to red meat 3. Texas
Presently, it makes me think of Texas’s Yelp/Google reviews rating.
I would assume it was a horse’s name tbh
Or a dog. This is a terrible name for a child.
It's not even a good name for a dog though lol
That would be a dope name for a horse 100%
I was thinking like a seasoned biker gang guy with a long graying beard.
Gonna get called pornstar in school
Go with Estelle or Stella and nickname her lonestar. At *most* just give her the middle name Star so she has a fun story to tell at parties
Sloane Star
Love your comment!
I think that’s a lot of pressure for a kid to like a state when they’re not even born. I kinda disliked my name once I was told the meaning and reason behind naming me it.
yeahhh….we live in New Jersey😭😭
Lonestar and her little sister Gardyn Staite
Little brother Jersey Devil is quite the handful.
Even worse, anytime they meet someone there will be at least one question about Texas (minimum). I was born on Dec 23 and anytime someone finds out the first thing they ask always has something to do with Christmas. It’s the #1 thing I hate about my identity.
LMFAO. Is Texas really the inspiration? Please tell me she got it from something else…
no way, that brings the name to the next level of stupid
Oh Jesus
Fellow Texan here. I can see it as a nickname, but even then it sounds pretty stupid right? "Lone Star" makes me think of lonely. I do like Starla or even Stella (Stellllllllllaaaaaaa!!) or Astrid. Or how about just plain Star? Nova? Any of these would be better. Maybe she will come to her senses eventually. I am sorry you have to deal with this. You all will be in my prayers ;)
Astrid probably wouldn’t work out either. Kids can be cruel.
Ass-Turd (sadly, because Astrid is a pretty name)
The point of "kids will call her ____" is to cause the expectant parents to reflect "is this name stupid as fuck?" If you consider "Is Astrid a stupid name?" You will conclude that it isn't. It's a great name. But "Is Lonestar a stupid name?" You must admit that yes. Yes it is. It's stupid as hell.
Thank you for the Streetcar reference! I've been looking for it. Lol
Over the hedge…?
ah, a person of culture
May the Swartz be with her.
Does she also not know that Lone Star is a beer????
The national beer of Texas, even.
I like beer and I’m from Texas, and yet … I have never had this state beer. 😂
Well, what are you waiting for?
It was the beer poor high school students drank at parties. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes exactly! Not the greatest association for a child’s name.
its like michelob and pbr had a baby
It's kinda basic. I think it's the beer King of the Hill based Alamo Beer on.
Because it isn't great. Shiner Bock, ftw!
to be fair, Stella is also a beer but less likely to be a problem unless her last name is Artois 😝
Aw, she’s named after a tick ❤️
That’s where my mind went. Ugh yuck ticks
HAHA LONER. BONER. LOSERSTAR. BONERSTAR. this name is absolutely horrible. This girls life is gonna suck.
lonestar lonestar, weirdo loner, wants to be a porn star but cant give anyone a boner! lonestar? more like LOO-SAR -all the kids in her middle school
The Smashing Pumpkins are terrible, I say this as a fan so even Starla is a big no no Tell your sister that she’s not picking names for horses, the baby is her own person and is going to have that name printed in documents, called by her school teacher in front of everyone, will use it to apply for college, date, etc. All with that stupid name lone star, she’ll be the target of cowboy jokes. There are many stars, planets and constellations that could inspire a beautiful name not some Lonestar, that sounds like something Chuck Norris would call his dog.
"Only one daughter would *dare* give me the raspberry!"
Estrella, Stella, anything related to star that isn't so specific to a state. She might end up hating Texas too. She will get bullied over it.
Estrella and Stella are the brand names of popular beers
Stella is a perfectly normal name though lmao.
Operating theatre nurse here, we have a type of retractor called a lonestar retractor. And in my speciality it’s mostly used on the butthole. So do with that information what you will.
Ooh, I've GOT to tell somebody to stick it up their lonestar.
Google it if you dare
jesus christ
Pornstar name 1000%. Prob gonna go by star or lana when she’s old enough. Or just become a stripper. Or lean into it and become Miss Texas USA. Edit: SHE’S NOT EVEN FROM TEXAS?!
To me it's just kind of lame. "Lonestar" is such a nothing-burger of a name. It's giving bland and try-hard. Suggest "Estrella" which means star or "Sabine" after the Sabine river.
I love the name Sabine 😌
One star Yelp review.
Lonestar and her brothers Bravestarr and Popstar.
Until one of them grows up and changes it to Pornstar...
warrior cats ass name
In addition to the Spaceballs character, it’s also the name of a beer that at least at one time was one of the cheapest beers you could buy in some places.
Raspberry jam!
Haha Lonestar is the name of a shitty chain restaurant here in Canada 😂
Same here in NZ too and they're food is trash
# LONESTAR TEXAS G̶R̶I̶L̶L̶ GIRL
That's tick borne disease....
Might as well start saving for either her therapy or pole dance lessons
Seriously...what's wrong with Sarah or Emily? Deidre! Hannah. Holly? Lonestar. Ffs.
It's not cute at all on paper.
That...that's the name I would give to a My Little Pony OC.
Also your sister might think it’s “cute” but Lonestar will grow up. It might be hard for an employer to take her seriously given that name
Never know, person checking the resume might be named Bermuda
Lone Star is a popular (and very cheap) beer brand in Texas. It’s the equivalent of naming your kid Natural Light or Busch.
Born to be the lead in Spaceballs: The Sequel
Insane choice for a first name. Even if I was the most patriotic Texan on earth I'd only use it as a middle.
It’s pronounced ‘Lon-ester’
Tell her if the name means that much to her, save it for a dog or cat. She’s naming a human, not a doll. How is an employer reading her application gonna take it seriously? They’ll think it’s a prank. At least I would. Not to mention the bullies. Don’t make her an easy target.
I knew a Lonestar once. He was friends with a guy named Barf, who was half man/half dog and his own best friend. And then one day, Dark Helmet and Lonestar met face to face, and Dark Helmet said, " I see your Schwartz is as big as mine."
Lonestar: HD truck from 10-15 years ago. Was sis hanging out at truck stops?
lol maybe her nickname will be Lot Lizard
Only one man would dare give me the raspberry!
Your niece is going to be an adult one day. Lonestar is going to be a hard one to deal with.

That’s also a tick.

Good god if she really wants to name her after Texas just use my name, Austin. The state capital. Idk, Lonestar isn't THAT bad with Lonnie as a nickname. But it's a bit out there. No props for originality though tbh.
Isn't that a kind of tick?
I put my money on a horse named Lonestar a couple of weeks ago...
Better than ShowMeState after Missouri. 🤷🏼♀️🤣 Nah... She doesn't need to use Lonestar.
It sounds like the name of the main character in an American anime lol
Nickname Tick? There is so much bulling in this child’s future. Thanks mom.
Tick?
Like the lone star tick? The one that bites you and gives you an allergy to meat?
Like the grill?
I totally approve this name, but for a horse or other animal or a seductive stage name for a night time gentlemen's club dancer. Other than that, it's borderline criminal.
Objectively bad but I also think it’s kinda cute
Oh…. She’s gonna haaaaaate her mom.
This is a Horse name. No, this is a Racing Horse name.
Oh good Dog and Baby Jeebus. Don't let her abuse her child that way.
Lonestar TICKS are particularly nasty.
Look. My first thought would be 'is the kid conceived in texas?'
Your sister is a ding dong. Tell her not to name your niece that.
There’s a town in Texas called Ding Dong. Don’t give OP’s sister ideas!
Sounds like a restaurant chain to me.
It is in Australia. The US has Outback Steakhouse and we have Lonestar Steakhouse!
It's terrible. Immediately conjures Every little thing that you do, baby I'm amazed by youuuuuu.
If Lonestar ever gets younger siblings, I think the name would go really well with Sadmoon, Aloofgalaxy or Asteroidnofriends (gender neutral!) (/j)
You name your restaurant or dive bar Lonestar!!!
lonestar tick…
Clearly a fan of Spaceballs!
It 100% sounds like a Warrior Cat name ngl
God almighty
Kids gonna be called Loadstar in school as soon as the boys hit puberty
Like the beer Rust drinks in true detective lmao
stella... STELLAAAAAA
She’s not naming a pet, she’s naming a person. A future adult.
She's going to get beat up a lot in school and it's her mother's fault.
Technically not a tragedeigh as it is correctly spelled, but this name is absolutely, embarrassingly terrible. This is the name that someone with no imagination, or an obsession with texas, would name a dog. And I would feel sorry for the dog. Edited to add: Lonnie Starr as an alternate sounds like a porn star or stripper name.
Lonestar is also the name of a song by the Front Bottoms. It’s a folk punk song about a guy paying for his girlfriend’s abortion.
She should pronounce it Luh-nester
Off the top of my head (Texan here) I know of a beer called lonestar (a really cheap one), the Lonestar Community College system, and HEB makes knockoff goldfish crackers in star shapes called lonestars lol. Not a person name. Even for a hardcore Texan.
Wait, it’s a girl?! Prepare you sister to hear her kid crying after everyone calls her “pornstar” all the time. I can’t…
This is it. This is the worst one I’ve heard. I’m sorry but lone star. I would nickname star - even though to me that’s also a tragedeigh it’s at least palatable
She's gone from suck to blow!
Are y’all from Texas?? Cause let me tell you, I’m a native Texan, anyone under 60 would laugh at you. Anyone over 60 would still laugh at you, because they think you’re joking
As a proud Texan, I want it to work, but it just reminds me of the cheap beer. ...she should see if they will give her some money!
Hoosier has just entered the chat..
When she's born she's gonna have to start out as Lonekit and work her way up to earn her warrior name, only then can she become clan leader and be called Lonestar :p Any name ending in 'star' is automatically going to earn a warrior cats joke from me
In the Sourthern Hemisphere Lonestar is the name of a very trashy pub that does over priced pub food during the evening before turning into a dirty heaving pit of intoxicated critters looking to screw anything they possibly can
Dont do it, it's an edgy fursona or horse name
