It's not a name I would think of/pick for a kid, but it's not bad. It's different without being too out-there. And it flows well with the actor's last name.
yes, probably most common in sweden now. some info i just saw:
Stellan (m) Name of unknown meaning. Moving to Sweden, a German noble man named Stellan Otto von Mörner introduced the name in 1597. One guess is, that it could be a masculine form of Stella.
Stellan’s meaning is unknown, possibly related to Old Norse stilling, meaning ‘calm’ (german: still = calm)
