I feel like Luna and Sirius are always going to be attached to Harry Potter.

I like the idea though.

I love Astro but the natural shortening is ‘ass’ 😭

Boys
Neil is a good suggestion after Neil Armstrong. However I don’t think that space would be the first thing people think of when they hear the name Neil. However with it quite an unusual name. People will probably ask where you got it from. Then they’ll know it’s inspired from interest in space.
Buzz
Cosmo.
Orbit

Girls.
When you you die you could name her after her star sign.
Star
Saturn
Venus
Mercury
Luna
