Re: names for a space nerd?
Edit: didn't notice you didn't want stars and constellations, ah well. That bit goes in square brackets at the end then...Quasar is awesome too, mainly because quasars are awesome.Also the obvious Astra, Cosmo, Stella, Lumina, etc.And besides all that, I think Starlight is really cute. Maybe as a middle name?
[If you go for names of stars and constellations, there are a ton to choose from. That used to be one of my favorite places to look for interesting names.Maybe... Procyon, Altair, Murzim, Aldebaran, Rastaban, Lesath, Meissa, Vega, Spica, Deneb, etc. Meissa was my favorite name for a while when I discovered it :)Or mythology names that these days are also associated with stars/constellations: Maia, Electra, Andromeda, Alcyone, Merope, Io...]

In my HP fanfic, Altair is a student, and my FMC has a wolf whose litter includes Procyon, Murzim, Adara, and Aldura, all stars from Canis Major or Minor. Sirius would have been too obvious for them.
