Boy names that are heavenly or star related

I am 18 weeks pregnant with a baby who we are likely to lose as the baby is very unwell.

I really want to name the baby and I don’t know if it is a boy or girl. I think we have a girls name sorted and we like the name Seren.

None of my boy names seem to suit anymore. I’d like a name with a meaning that either feels celestial or heavenly.

Phoenix means strength and rising from challenges I believe and is unisex so can be used for both girl or boy.
I am truly sorry to hear what you are going through OP and I wish you all the best❤

I was going to suggest Nova. PP beat me to it! Unisex name. We have a male cat called Nova🙂

It’s not over til it’s over OP. I wish you a miracle.

”Taran” is a strong boy’s name that is from different cultures. In Wales it means “Thunder” and in Norway it can mean thunder, but also means ‘wave’ or ‘to love’. In Azerbaijan Taran means music/song.

In India it has a more complex meaning that can be translated as “Heaven” or “Celestial”, or the general idea of overcoming obstacles, particularly crossing over from one state of being to another, or a raft (as in that which carries you safely to the other side).

I wish your family luck.

Oh, OP. I'm so sorry, I hope that the worst doesn't happen and that somehow the situation improves for better for you and baby.

My first thought was Sirius or Cyrus. I love the idea of Gabriel too.

Stellan
Luca, Lucas, Luke or Lucien all meaning light.
Seraphim
Aster
Samson
Zion
Angelo
Darian

Keeping you and little one in mind and wishing you all the best.

Ellmau · 14/01/2024 19:19

So sorry, OP.

Sirius
Orion
Celestine
Raphael
Gabriel

43ontherocksporfavor · 14/01/2024 19:21

Ah I love Gabriel.
Skylar

HNY2024 · 14/01/2024 19:23

I immediately thought of Sirius, but see others have beaten me to it... it is the brightest star in the night sky.

11NigelTufnel · 14/01/2024 19:23

My first thought was Orion, and therefore also Archer. Isaac or Newton.

Also, Cyprus, Jupiter, Leo, Thor.

JussathoB · 14/01/2024 19:28

I love Gabriel as it is the name of an angel. Wow there are some fabulous suggestions on here OP, I really hope they are bringing you some hope and comfort.
another poster suggested Lucien, which is so beautiful.

everygreensock · 14/01/2024 19:28

Gabriel

IHatesMeecesToPieces · 14/01/2024 19:31

Cosmo
Tarak is a boy's name that means star and protector in Sanskrit.
Suhail I believe also means star.

Seraphim

bobomomo · 14/01/2024 19:52

Gabriel seems most appropriate, though Nathaniel works too.
So sorry op, will be thinking about you - please don't forget your local church can offer you support at this difficult time, we unfortunately have experience of this.

ikmow · 14/01/2024 19:57

Sorry your baby isn't very well

I love the name Nova

NeverGuessWho · 14/01/2024 19:59

Oh OP, I will be saying a prayer for your baby and your whole family.
Sending you love.
Gabriel and Nova, are beautiful names, as many PPs have already suggested.
Seren, too, is just gorgeous.

Birchtree1 · 14/01/2024 20:03

I have friends who lost a baby boy. They called him Milan. Which is a red kite. And also an Eastern European name. About 25 years ago. Still love the name

Reading your post, I thought immediately of Cosmo (or Cosimo), and Cosima.
