Space/Celestial Names

[hanna_walker96]

I like [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] for girls but what are some good space names for boys? For anyone that is not a fan of the theme, I’m just adding to my list.

[Beelouise]

I like [name_u]Mars[/name_u] or [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] the best for boys.

I love [name_u]Orion[/name_u]!
