Comments for the name Astrophel

This is rather an interesting name. It sounds nice, and it's one of those few names that (to me) has a sound that suggests its meaning. When I hear the name, I imagine an astronomer who has a real love for stars, planets and constellations. Though, the name sounds actually somewhat feminine to me. I guess that you could change it to Astrophelia to get a feminine version. It's actually quite interesting.

Agreed with Pippin, this name does sound like it would fit a girl more. I wouldn't mind using this for a daughter.

I'm a fan. Thoughts: Reminds me of the word "asphodel", a type of flower; also, it's terribly, heart-breakingly sweet that Sir Sidney's characters are named "Star-lover (Astrophel) and Star (Stella)". Aww!

Although this name has the most gorgeous meaning, I can't help thinking of the word "atrophy".

I would rather give this name to a girl, but make it Astrophelle so it would sound more feminine.

This name, in my opinion, is ultra-futuristic and is very space-age. It's also very odd, at first, that it's the sort of name that grows on you in time. :)
