I am so conflicted on this one. It has a great meaning and it works on ms danner. But I cannot imagine a baby with this name.

+1 Also any nicknames for III or IV, etc: Trip, Chip



I am married to an IV and mother to a V so this actually *is* a family thing, how is this pretentious?


I think having a V is great!

Interesting, I don’t think of Stella as pretentious at all (nor do I have a kid named it, ftr!)


I have never known a Stella born to a family without a massive household income and family trust

Same.

I feel like this thread is like 30% actually pretentious names and 70% posters listing names of the children of people they don't like. Which, they might be really annoying people, I don't know, but it doesn't mean that their kids name is pretentious.

I feel like you are asking for wild children with those names!


This is hilarious
