Double barreled names can be very trashy, very catholic or apparently like "Alice May" from the PP very UP sorority. I think you just have to get the right flavor. Mary Louise, Lula Mae, Carol Ann, Mary Pat, Markwayne (haha), John Wayne, Jean-Marie, Bubba Joe, and on and on!

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


Knew a stripper/“aerial silks teacher” with a toddler named Stella. So quite the opposite of pretentious, for me.


In San Francisco, right? I also know this family, ha. This tidbit is unfortunately very identifying.

I went to UVA and a running joke was how pretentious the names of women in the ‘top’ (aka richest sorority) were. A third of them sounded like last names (Deering, Livingston), another third were two part names where people definitely want by both (Porter May, Alice Ann) and the last third were just odd (Law, Daffodil).
