Greetings,

Estrella is both. E-stray-ah, in Spanish; E-strell-a in English/'merican.

Okay, "wang" is pronounced "vvong" but the goober test is for the goobers not the name...so, yeah, I get your point, Angus.

As for a name that bards will write to inspire the people, Adalia, you could write an inspiring war song if the name had 7 syllables and half the letters were "L".

Regards,
Tadhg
