Ok so very unlikely but I am 40+6 today and having mild irregular contractions. We don't know what we are having but I've agreed that if baby is born on March 20th and is a girl then we'll call her Luna Grin

Any idea on space/moon related boy names just in case?

I just laughed out loud at Brian (Cox)!

How about Sonny?

I love Orion.

Luna is a bit lunatic-y.

Atlas - moon of Saturn
Caelum - constellation
Eos - family name of a belt of asteroids
Kale - moon of Jupiter

Selena / Selina are both female variations of the moon.

Halo (for the glare around the full eclipse)

Wolfgang for a boy!

The small bits of light around the edges are called Baileys breads, so what about Bailey?

Tunna · 20/03/2015 11:30

Beads not bread Blush

Remus (Remus Lupin - Warewolf)

squoosh · 20/03/2015 11:34

Sir Patrick Moore.

That'll give him a bit of gravitas when he's at nursery.

Tunna · 20/03/2015 11:38

Grin squoosh! Difficult to train a baby to use a monocle I imagine.

What about Blue for a boy, since an eclipse only comes around once in a, err, blue moon.

Gileswithachainsaw · 20/03/2015 11:42

titan
Pluto
sola (might be a girls name though)

Totality22 · 20/03/2015 12:04

Lyra (constellation) for a girl.

MrsCrankypants · 20/03/2015 12:41

Solange - means angel of the sun.

Tunna · 20/03/2015 15:46

Well the OP hasn't come back, maybe she's getting a little Eclipse baby after all!

good luck and come back soon with news!

NotLoveActually · 20/03/2015 15:58

Not boy, but I really like Stella Grin however I fear it would be taken in the wrong way and associated with the lager Wink

Falconwolf101 · 20/03/2015 18:41

Comet
Eclipse
Nebula
Light
XD Love your space theme!

FlipFlippingFlippers · 21/03/2015 21:23

You're 40+8 Shock

gaggiagirl · 21/03/2015 21:30

That should totally be 41+1 Blush

stillsingingintherain · 21/03/2015 21:45

When you said Buzz I immediately thought you meant Buzz Lightyear!

I'm a bit obsessed with the name Jupiter (after Jupiter Jones from the 3 Investigators). DH has banned me from using it if we ever have another boy... wonder if I could sneak it in as a middle name though...

Hope your baby is here OP!
