Cosmological names!

General Name Discussion
1

I love names that conjure thoughts of the cosmos. A lot of times they end up being ‘guilty pleasure’ names for me, because they tend to hold a lot of weight.

Of course there is an almost limitless supply of these names from various origins and of varying cosmological ties, but here are my very favorites:

[name]Adhara[/name] (F Arabic origin, star)
Adrastea (F Greek origin, [name]Jovian[/name] moon)
[name]Andromeda[/name] (F Greek origin, the nearest galaxy to our own)
Aoede / Aoide (F Greek origin (muse of song), [name]Jovian[/name] moon)
[name]Callisto[/name] / [name]Kallisto[/name] (F [name]Roman[/name] origin, constellation and [name]Jovian[/name] moon)
[name]Ceres[/name] (F [name]Roman[/name] origin, dwarf planet in our solar system)
[name]Citlali[/name] (F Aztec: star)
Euanthe (F Greek origin, a [name]Jovian[/name] moon)
[name]Io[/name] (F Greek origin, a [name]Jovian[/name] moon)
[name]Surya[/name] (U Sanskrit: sun)
Tycho (M Greek origin, borne by noted astronomer Tycho Brahe)
[name]Vega[/name] (F Arabic origin, famous star in the constellation [name]Lyra[/name])
