Comments for VEGA:

This may not be that important, but a "famous bearer" of this name is the fictional character "Vega" from the Capcom game "Street Fighter" (and all of its descendants). Vega from Street Fighter is from Spain and is one of the 'bad guys' - i.e. one of Bizon's friends. He wears a Matador outfit and a white mask; his weapon is a metal claw strapped to his right wrist.

Sort of bearer of the name is the city of "Las Vegas" in Nevada, USA.

Vega also means "falling star" in Latin. I really love that name. It's a shame I could never make the husband consider it.

"Vega" is the last name given to the fictional brothers Vic and Vincent, created by Quentin Tarantino. Vic Vega, played by Michael Madsen, appears in Reservoir Dogs, while Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta, appears in Pulp Fiction.

Diego De La Vega, the original Zorro. Played brilliantly by Anthony Hopkins.

Taking away any association with Las Vegas, I love this name.

I like this name a lot; it's unusual and very pretty.

What a wonderful name. Forget the name Star. That's tacky. Go with Vega instead. Same meaning. Way fewer slutty stigmas attached.

It's a pretty cool name, but it reminds me of Las Vegas. I'm afraid the name sounds a bit tacky, that being the main reason. Lyra sounds prettier and more poetic. This is still a pretty name, though.

Suzanne Vega, American musician.

Vega means "fertile lowland adjacent to a river which is irrigated and sometimes flooded by it" in Spanish. That's what Las Vegas means.
If Spanish wasn't my mother language I would love this name.

Like the above user said, this name means "meadow" in Spanish. It's pretty cool, and Las Vegas isn't the first thing that comes to my mind.

I love this name. It's pretty and unusual.

For some reason I loved this name as soon as I heard of it. It's astronomical with connections with Arabic, Spanish and Latin. Vega. None of the people I told it to liked it. It would suit a girl with a strong personality, I reckon.

Oddly enough, in opposition to some comments here, I'd think "Vega" to be more slutty than "Star". I guess the consonant-vowel combinations of both names really do have different effects on me.

Hence, you can imagine my shock on discovering that Vega is another name for Zhin¨¹ (֯Ů in Chinese, meaning "weaver girl") in a beautiful Chinese myth that links her and Altair (called the Cowherd, or Niulang [Å£ÀÉ]) as lovers that were forbidden to be together. An ugly name with a beautiful meaning? I'll personally go with Zhin¨¹, thank you very much!

Beg your pardon - it appears you'll have to set your browser encoding to Chinese Simplified to see my above comment properly. For immediate clarity as to the spelling of the Z-name I mentioned, I'll restate my last sentence: I'd rather go with "Zhinu" than "Vega".
