My mother’s middle name is [name]Esther[/name], and I’d like to honor her somehow with a middle name. While there is still a possibility I would use [name]Esther[/name], it’s also my cousin’s and a good friend’s baby’s middle name. What are your favorite “star” names? I’m trying to avoid names that end in “a” as they clash with the surname. I’m open to anything as it’s a middle name and I’m feeling adventurous.
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Tanith[/name] (she was a godess of the stars)
Some say [name]Ester[/name] is variant of Ishtar, goddess of love and war.
These aren’t all “star” names, but spacey:
[name]Artemis[/name]
[name]Diana[/name]/[name]Diane[/name]
[name]Selene[/name]/[name]Celine[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]/[name]Estella[/name]/[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Luna[/name]/Lunet
[name]Aphrodite[/name]
[name]Venus[/name]
[name]Ursula[/name]/Ursuli
[name]Andromeda[/name]
Hesper
[name]Hester[/name]
Mairin
[name]Marianne[/name]
Or what not just [name]Star[/name]?

I really like the name [name]Esther[/name], it’s classic and sweet, yet new sounding. I love using the person’s actual name whenever possible, but I can see why you’re hesitant.
The only other star names I love are [name]Estelle[/name], which is similar to [name]Esther[/name], and [name]Stella[/name], which I think is very pretty and sweet sounding.
My favorite “star” name is [name]Seren[/name]! I also like [name]Star[/name]!
[name]Stella[/name] or [name]Star[/name] would be my favorites. [name]Diana[/name] would be a good alternative, meaning moon. Or [name]Luna[/name].
mclola I really like [name]Tanith[/name]. A lot. If it was pronounceable in Spanish it would be ideal. Going on my GP list for sure.
[name]Ottilie[/name]- oooooo I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Elanor[/name]! It might be perfect!
Jessica123- [name]Seren[/name] is perfect and unisex. I like the idea of honoring my mom on a son.
Thanks so much everyone!
[name]Aster[/name] or [name]Seren[/name]
I’m really liking [name]Esther[/name], [name]Astrid[/name], and [name]Star[/name] right now.
