I’ve posted recently about how I love the name [name_m]Jetson[/name_m] “Jet”. Got me curious about other aviation/space related names. There’s not a lot of data about them online.
So-can you give me suggestions for baby boy names related to aviation? Nothing in the phonetic alphabet. I’m looking for something more unique and cool.
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] ~ after the shuttle program (could also go with [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] though I prefer it on a girl)
[name_m]Orville[/name_m] or [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m] ~ the [name_m]Wright[/name_m] brothers who built the first planes
