A sister for Jupiter?

We have decided to wait until the twins are born to decide their names as it seems we can't settle on two this time round. We're having b/g twins and have a list of possible names that flow and match each other as well as the other DC.

We both fell in love with Jupiter so it's on the list but cannot find a girl's name that matches (topic wise) or flows. We did love Astra Faye but sounds too close to Ash Tray!

We don't like Juniper, Juno as they're too close in name.

Any ideas?

Do you know, we were just talking at dinner about out favourite planets. Dd said Saturn, dh said Mercury (because he's hot), ds grunted and I said Jupiter.

I have no idea what would go but wanted to say I love Jupiter.

We don't want anything to do with Jupiter. We'd like individual names but ties in with the solar system and is a strong yet beautiful name like Jupiter.

We don't make it easy on ourselves! Damn. Haha.

LaBoo - I can imagine it now, "good morning Uranus. It's a bit windy today!"

Bunda - That's another thing that put us off the name.

I do like Astrid but for some reason I picture a girl with glasses and braces like the Katy Perry video...

Don't choose a moon of Jupiter- it would sound like she's secondary. And don't have a daughter of Jupiter, that's just creepy.
