Hi, we are thinking of calling our daughter Setarah sa-tah-ra (Astropais - astro-pay, our last name.)
Opinions of Setarah? Any ideas for a middle name?

Setarah's nms, but I think it has a pretty sound. However, I think it would go better with a more common last name. With your ln, Setarah Astropais sounds like the name of a star or constellation or... I'm not sure what. It's almost too much for me, I think.

Of course, if you love it and think it's the perfect name, then use it. I'd lean toward a simpler mn, though, to balance out the whole name.

Some ideas...
Setarah Corinne
Setarah Danielle
Setarah Dawn
Setarah Faith
Setarah Jade
Setarah Joy
Setarah Celeste
Setarah Emerald
Setarah Elizabeth
Setarah Frances

JMHO...

I don't think I've heard the name before, but it sounds familiar none the less. I do like the sound of it. But I agree with the PP, with your last name it sounds like a constellation.

NMS.

I would pronounce it like the last 3 syllables of et-ce-te-ra.

I know a Setarah and she pronounces it the way you have written.
