Did you enter Nameberry’s Guess the Matt Damon Baby Name Contest? I didn’t check, but I’m almost certain someone got it exactly right.
Matt Damon and wife Luciana have welcomed a daughter, Stella Zavala. Stella joins big sisters Gia, Isabella, and Alexa at home.
I wasn’t expecting anything too daring from the Damons, but I’ll admit that Stella is a let-down. Along with Ava and Harper, it feels like the default name in Hollywood these days. At #126 in 2009, she still isn’t at the heights of popularity in the US, but she has been advancing quickly.
But hey, their choice, not mine, and Stella is a lovely name. Congratulations to the family!
I guessed Perla in the nameberry contest, which is actually kinda close, and I think would have been a lot better. I’m with you on it being a let down. Harper, Ava, Isabella, Sophia, Olivia, Stella, etc. They’re all lovely names, but they make me yawn.
Dang-I had Sophia in the Nameberry contest! I really thought that one would be perfect! Oh, well
Stella is a lovely name – I had it on my list in 2005, but hubby thought it was too ‘old lady’ and didn’t like the ‘Streetcar Named Desire’ connection, with Stanley yelling “Stelllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”.
I did enter the Nameberry contest – someone did get it right. I was expecting something more unusual for the baby’s name, after them picking Gia last time.
I personally would avoid two -ella sisters too.
Isabella and Stella are too close to me. Hopefully, they don’t have another girl and name her Ella. :0
I entered the contest and guessed Anya. It’s always fun to guess what a celebrity will name their baby. Maybe one day I’ll guess right.
All I can think is Isabella and Stella?!?! Really?!
I know. And if they call their old daughter Bella … well …
