Need a name with a star theme

Right we have a beautiful baby girl who is 2 weeks old, we are registering her birth next week so we need to find a middle name that we both agree on and like..
however there is lovely back story that me and dh both saw a shooting star before we found out we were expecting, so we would love for her middle name to be star themed, something like a star name or a type of star etc, we have seen a lot but nothing is quite right.. any ideas? Thanks!

I also like Astrid.

florascotia2 · 18/07/2019 08:12

Astrid is a nice name, but it does not have a star meaning.
It comes from two words meaning 'god' and 'beautiful' or 'beloved'.

Seren is welsh for star and it's a lovely name

My dd's middle name is Soraya which is derived from an ancient Persian name/word (Thurayya) for the pleiades aka the seven sisters constellation.

We also liked Cassiopeia and I like Celestia too.

Estelle, Estella.

Seren is a name that will date badly. It looks quite nice but the english pronunciation isn't pretty. Serrun. Just a bit Karen, Sharon, Shannon-y.
It's just the word for star recently adopted as a name.

Thank you! So many nice names, I love Nova but unfortunately when put with my girls first name it's also the name of a make of bra 😂 not ideal, Seren and Vega are also lovely.
@Howmanysleepstilchristmas I hadn't even thought about seeing what meteor shower it was! Thank you for the idea, it was actually late October which I have just searched for which was the Orionids shower, can't think of any names that are similar to that, however apparently the shower is made by debris left from the comet Halley, which is a lovely name and a good link
