I like my Daughter's name.

She is only the 7th person recoreded in the US to have that first name with the last in 1890s.

When mybwofe introduces her everyone says "that's such a pretty name, where did you get it.?"

My daughter is the only girl I know of in the USA alive with that name, all because of a translation perversion 200 years ago. ;)

I am so curious but this feels like a fact that will be kept under wraps, understandably.

Its a mistranslation from a French name that someone likely though sounded better. Based on Estelle. The rare spelling and associated pronunciation are both prettier.

But as you alluded to saying it literally let's anyone look her up. The fun of a unique first name.
