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.

Aster
But like Nova above as well.

best wishes to you & baby OP.

So sorry to read about your situation.

Seren is a beautiful name!

Some boys names with meanings you might think appropriate:
Aidan
Jesse
Nathanial
Noah

It's also completely valid to choose a name with an irrelevant meaning just because you love the name and want to use it for your baby.

Benedict…….meaning ‘blessed’. Or ‘ the blessed one’.

I like the suggestion of Atlas earlier. It feels ever present and all encompassing. Like he will be with you in every bit of the world. I'm not explaining it well. So sorry for the challenges you are facing.

Celestine: heavenly; of the sky. is a gender-neutral name of Latin origin.

Thank you very much for your replies. I think we’ve found a name from all of your suggestions if the baby is a boy.

Unfortunately the likelihood of losing the baby is extremely high, but our eldest dc has really clung to the idea that the baby will be in the stars looking over us so it seemed fitting that baby should have a celestial or heavenly name.

I’m so sorry, I can only imagine what you’re going through.

I came across Astro which is Greek and means ‘of the stars’ which I think is just beautiful ✨

Thinking of you OP.
Seren is lovely. Taren I knew but the interpretation of Taran given above is beautiful.

So sorry that you’re going through this. In case you haven’t been put in touch with these, the following charities may be very helpful for you:
Sands,
Remember my baby (although I think they may only be able to help if your baby is born closer to 24 weeks plus gestation), Cherised Angle Gowns,
Tommys,

In terms of names Gabriel is a lovely heavenly name for a boy.

Gabriel 💙

Gabriel is one of God's favourite angels.

I have been here too, back in 2021. I'm thinking of you and your little one. x
