[Opinions] Astronomy themed triplets from a film
I watched the film Asteroid City, which features triplets called Pandora, Andromeda and Cassiopeia. They also had an older brother named Woodrow, and the three were played by real life triplets named Ella, Gracie and Willan.
What do you think of the set Pandora, Andromeda and Cassiopeia?
What do you think of the set Ella, Gracie and Willan?
What would you name an astronomy themed set of triplets?

I love astronomy themed names, though I agree with the others that Pandora seems mythological to me and not astronomical. Andromeda is such an underrated name, and the book I’m reading right now actually has a main character named that! I think I’d do: Andromeda (nickname Andra like in my book), Estrella, and Lyra.

I loved that movie!I like Andromeda (nn Andy) and Cassiopeia (nn Cassie), but I don’t like Pandora, though the nn Dora would be cute. As a set it could be better. Pandora makes me think of the myth more than the stars.Also I like Ella and Gracie but Willan isn’t the greatest. I like the diversity of names though. I would have gone with Jillian maybe or another name ending with -an.

I've been meaning to watch that!I like Cassiopeia. All three of those names together is a bit much, a little hokey, but great for a movie.Ella, Gracie and Willan... Willan is interesting, I've not heard of that one before. I'm surprised it's not Willow, that seems to suit the set much more. Ella and Gracie together don't do much for me. Willan is the most fun, although it puzzles me.If I had to use constellation names for triples, I might go with Norma, Berenice, and Carina, maybe? Norma for sure, I love that one.

I like the set, those are rare yet beautiful names. Pandora could work in real life, but I'm not sure about Andromeda and Cassiopeia (prefer Cassiopea, though) - maybe as middle names? With a nickname? If this is the case, I think Romy and Pia are usable.Ella, Gracie and Willan is not a good set. Ella and Gracie don't go well together; Grace is better, and Gracie should only be used as a nickname. Also, Willan is quite bad; why not William? I only like Ella.I would use Astra, Venus and Rigel... or maybe Aether, Neptune and Selene.

Dione, Phoebe and Rhea would be my triplets, based on Saturn's moons.I dislike Ella and Grace; Gracie is even worse. And Willan is dreadful!Pandora, Andromeda and Cassiopeia are fine in a sci-fi context but unsuitable in real Earth-life.
