I'm naming my baby girl Stella Rose. She's due in June. I think this name is beautiful and has alot of style. I don't believe that anyone will make fun of her by referencing a streetcar named desire because by the time she's old enough to get made fun of, how many kids are going to have actually seen that movie?
