Naturally, naming our daughter is very important to us and we spent an awful lot of time going through quite a few names (Megan has an 1"+ thick book to prove it). Megan is big into the more old fashion names of which I didn't care for almost all of them. I don't really know if I have a specific genre of names that I like, but Megan didn't care for a lot of the ones that I suggested either.
I'm pleased to report that we did finally agree on a name that we both love: Stella Sorrell. Stella is a more old fashion name from the early 1900's that is making a come back. It's of Latin origin and means star. A lot of people I've talked to can't put their finger on where they've heard the name, but it's most likely from A Streetcar Named Desire where Marlon Brando continuously yells the name:
Sorrell is Megan's mother's maiden name as well as Megan's middle name.
Naturally, I Googled the name Stella to see what was out there. You'll find everything from Paul McCartney's designer daughter Stella McCartney, Stella Artois the beer, and some peculiar ferry looking creature named Stella from a 2004 Italian animated series called Winx Club that people seem to be obsessed with.
One of the neater things I found was on a t-shirt site that actually had a Hawaiian Stella t-shirt design with the following emblem:
Pretty cool because we just got back from Hawaii and that's where we talked a lot about naming her Stella.
