[Opinions] Eustella
What are your opinions of the name Eustella (pron. yoo-STELL-ah)?
Funny thing, really, the other day I was pondering "made-up" and "kre8iv" names when I decided to create my own and proceeded to pair the "Eu" root with a favourite name of mine. I chose Stella and subsequently created Eustella. However, upon doing a search on Yahoo, apparently, it's already a name. It's listed on another baby name site, though not this one.
Have you heard this name before? Would you use is?

I like it, even better then Estella, actually.
Me, too, actually, lol. It's growing on me little by little.
BTW, I love Howards End. It's one of my favourite books and movies and Margaret Schlegel is one of my favourite characters. :)

When boredom strikes, it's always fun to try and create names using roots that mean something like 'eu' rather than randomly throw pairs of letters that have no meaning whatsoever together and try to form names. I've passed many an afternoon that way, LOL.
WDYT of Rosabel Eustella?
No I've never heard it but it is pretty. I probably wouldn't use it as I prefer Estella though.
It sounds like a 19th-century feminine form of Eustace or Ewell to me--it just has that air to it. And neither of those appeal to me a great deal--particularly not the latter, which reminds me of the character in To Kill a Mockingbird. :-/
I'd prefer Estella, Stella, Estelle, or Stelle, really. Much as I enjoy some Eu- names (all feminine), this isn't one that appeals to me.

Nope, never heard it. It's pretty. It sounds antique to my ears, though -- like it was invented when Eustace was popular, say. I could see someone using it today, and it being likable, but I personally would not. Mainly because it's a bit long, and I think she'd end up being called Stella informally -- that's not a favorite of mine.
