Astronomical baby names

[himym]

Looking for suggestions for astronomical names (linked with a mutual hobby between me and DH).

Currently we like but aren't sure of:

• Luna
• Nova
• Atlas
• Aries

Thoughts on these and any other suggestions? Thank you

Cassia for Cassiopeia

Aurora
Andromeda
Polaris
Venus
Mirinrae (Korean name for Milky Way)
Rahishiree (Persian name for Milky Way, Rahi for short).

I really loved Atlas but my DH shot that down real fast!

I loved Luna and Astrid

Celeste is beautiful

Soraya is a common Arabic name and it means beautiful.

Juno and Hera are goddesses of the heavens...

I love all these suggestions !

(Sorry no actual help)

@Valasca it may be a common Arabic name now but as I said it is an ancient Persian name derived from Thurayya. I don't know where the meaning beauty comes into it. Some people think it means princess but that's just because there was a famous princess Soraya. My partner is of Persian lineage which is why we chose it.

I’ve met a family with girls called Cassiopeia, Lyra, and Juno, they are all lovely names

Cassiopeia is the baby name I love but would never be brave enough to use! There are some brilliant names on this thread.

Love them all except luna which is just too common in my area.

Pluto

Seren is Welsh for star 🌟 💫

Seren
Heulwen (sunshine)
Enfys (rainbow)
Martia
Ganymede
Io

We almost named our daughter Io and also considered Soleil.
We had Galileo on the lists for our sons.

Astrid

Star is pretty

Soraya is a beautiful name.

Hesper is one of my favourites, for the evening star.

Astrid is not astronomical. It means "divine beauty" or "divine strength".
Astra would be astronomical.
Or Astraea (whom Virgo constellation is named for).

I LOVE Astraea but I noticed it sounds like Ash tray so that put my off.. I was gutted 😭 not that my OH was gonna let me use it anyway.

I also wanted to use Soraya Cassiopeia but nope.. Not allowed haha

Soraya is just gorgeous, isn't it?

My DH used to teach a student called Celestria.

@AstridsMama it really is! I hope my DD enjoys it as much as I do ❤️

Moon Goddess Names, too many to c+p.
