I know why you were so eager to be @seren and it is a lovely name, but it is ironic that Ruth Jones, a Welsh actress, writer and possibly producer or director…multi-talented, anyway, has chosen to name her latest lead-character Stella Morris!!
‘Stella’ on Sky1 is a situation comedy featuring every cliche about the valleys you can think of and a few more besides! It’s up to about the fifth series.
My point is that, actually, Stella is quite an acceptable Welsh name, given that it is from Greek or Latin (I forget which)!!! 
That is Latin. 9bach have a song on their album Tincian entitled Asteri Mou - Greek for My Star

Is it pronounced with a “ll”? Welsh ll? Or just a normal double “l”?
Sky TV is not given to Welsh spelling. If it had been on S4C, I suppose they would have had to spell it “Stela”, but names are usually spelled as given by Mam and Dad, so a kid may have to explain their name.
Here in Scotland is a very common name “Catriona”. For ages I did not reallise that all the people I heard called “Catrina” have that name, The ‘o’ is not sounded!
