Comments for the name Hoshi

'Hoshi' is, in fact, a star in Japanese language, but people don't use the word for names.

I've seen it as a family name (a couple people in the school where I taught), but never as a given name.

Hoshi Sato was the Communication Officer of the starship Enterprise NX-01 which was under Captain Jonathan Archer in the Star Trek series Enterprise. Her excellent character was played by actress Linda Park.

I made up a character with this name as her middle name. The funny thing is, she is a made up character for the show "Sailor moon" and she is "Sailor Star". She's such a cute character! (she's 5)

I like it :) It was the first Japanese word I learnt.
