Estella is a pretty Latin name that's sounding more and more stylish, remembered as the ward of Miss Haversham in Dickens' "Great Expectations." Though Estella ranked as high as Number 110 in the 1880s, it has been completely off the radar for more than 35 years, and so would be well worth considering as an alternate to the popular Stella (now Number 73), or as a namesake for Great Aunt Estelle.

Ali Landry used the Estela spelling for her daughter's name. Estrella is another possibility.
