It's all right, but a bit out there. The meaning is beautiful, though :)

Beautiful for a character.

I agree that it is a bit too much for a first name, but it could make a breathtaking middle name. To me it seems feminine.
Like:
Isolda Astrophel
Guinevere Astrophel
Elaine Astrophel
Victoria Astrophel.

It's a bit too big and out there for a real person's name, but I love it as a fictional character's name. The name of an astronomer, or an astronaut.

I guess if this name had to be feminised then 'Astrophila' would probably be the way to do it.

To me it actually sounds 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. :)

I am much more inclined to think that this name is Greek in origin, rather than Latin. To be precise: from Greek "aster" which means "star", and "philos" which means "friend."
The Latin word for "friend" is "amicus" and "amator", neither of which the second part of the name Astrophel can possibly refer to. True, the first part of Astrophel could be Latin in origin, for "astrum" means "star" in Latin - but for the name as a whole, it seems more logical to conclude that Astrophel is actually Greek in origin.

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

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

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!

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

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.
