Help us choose a middle name, that no-one will ever hear because no-one cares about middle names. Ha! Looking for suggestions from pre-2000 sci-fi (nothing too modern) or tv shows or from 80's cartoons. Nobody evil, no such thing as too out there. For a girl.

Is Star too boring?

Can't do Starbuck the coffee kid.

Can be a spaceship or planet too. Don't forget the cartoons!

Second vote for Nyota. That would be an awesome middle name with so much history wrapped up in it.

Hecates · 21/10/2021 21:20

Cade from Star Wars? Sebastian from Never ending story?

Hecates · 21/10/2021 21:21

Sorry missed the bit about it being for a girl!

@Nstarr

I was liking Servalan then I found this:

She was a cold, calculating, ruthless sociopath who was not above using her sex appeal and charm to get what she wanted.

Lol, not quite who I hope my daughter to be.

She was just misunderstood!
