I’m really into astrology and crystal healings and such, and thought a name with astrological ties would make for a sweet middle if/when I have a daughter. However, my style (and my partner’s) is pretty relaxed/down to earth so I’m struggling a bit to find astrologic names and crystal related names that fit?
So far I have;
[name_u]Seren[/name_u] (meaning “star”)
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] (already being used as a first though)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]
For reference, our shortlisted first names (what this list would be middles to) are:
I love astrology too! I don’t know much about crystals, unfortunately.
My first thought was something like Stella, Estelle or Estella, since they mean star! And there’s also the association with the word stellium, a term in astrology.
You could also do something with ties to the planets, like Sunny (Sun), Luna (Moon), Marceline (Mars), Juniper (Jupiter), etc?
I also thought about Natalie, which reminds me of natal as in natal chart.
Oh, or you could pick a name specific to your daughter? For example, a fire-related name if she has a fire sign for her sun sign, Aria if she’s an Aries, etc.
Oh, and as for crystal names, maybe Jem or Gemma? Marina, for aquamarine? Rose or Rosie for rose quartz? Celeste for celestite, Amity for Amethyst, Jade, Alexa/Alexis/Alexia/Alexandra for alexandrite, Sylvie for sylvanite, Willa for willemite, etc.
I feel like [name_f]Emerald[/name_f], [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Amber[/name_f], [name_f]Coral[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] feel fairly grounded to me -or not too outlandish at least. Maybe even [name_f]Crystal[/name_f] could work?
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] mean pearl. [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] means sapphire. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] means gemstone. The Persian meaning of [name_f]Mina[/name_f] links to [name_f]Lapis[/name_f] [name_u]Lazuli[/name_u].
Some more grounded astrology names could be [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Elara[/name_f], [name_f]Carina[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Fay[/name_f], [name_f]Maia[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], or [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Celestine[/name_f] & [name_f]Olivine[/name_f] are my favourite crystal names
Space related names…
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_u]Nova[/name_u], [name_u]Vega[/name_u], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Elara[/name_f] (moon of Jupiter), [name_f]Helene[/name_f] (moon of Saturn), [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], [name_f]Ceres[/name_f], [name_f]Lucine[/name_f]
