HelpRe: Astronomy Names I've been toying with
in reply to a message by tazzz
Neil - I had no idea this could mean cloud! :) I have several family members named Neil.
Gemini - I like it, but prefer it for a girl.
Callisto - Never thought about masculine usage, but love it.
Celestia - Personally, I prefer Celeste or Celestina.
Europa - She was raped by a bull in Greek mythology...that kills any appeal it might otherwise hold to me.
Names I like, but not enough that I would use them: Luna, Laine, Lyra, Phoebe, Nova, Arista, Estella, Cynthia, Leo, Aries, Orion (plus Sirius, Andromeda, Bellatrix because they're heavily associated with Harry Potter).
More astronomy/weather names: Maia, Miranda, Altair, Antares, Aldebaran, Oberon, Ariel, Cassiopeia, Vega, Aludra, Capella, Atlas, Electra, Mira, Polaris, Rigel, Phoenix, Lycoris, Alcyone, Soleil, Mercutio, Aquila, Acamar, Eridanus, Metis, Amalthea, Vesta, Dione, Charon, Eris, Barak, Darjeeling, Jaswinder, Thora, Soraya, Ashni, Levina, Aeolus, Anemone, Zephyra...

No one has mentioned Cygnus, Perseus, Draco or Scorpius. Or Nasira / Nashira. Cygnus and Perseus are some of my favorite constellation names. Of course there are many other astronomy / weather names that none of us have mentioned.
I've heard of Zephyr but I've never heard of Zephyra. I really like Zephyra.
