Ah yes, I've read about the Japanese blue/green word and how it has affected the colour of traffic lights in Japan.

This celestial and Shakespearean name may not have the loveliest of meanings, but she is a rare find today! What do you think of Portia?

« Etendez-vous sur le sol, la nuit, loin des lumières. Fermez les yeux. Après quelques minutes, ouvrez les sur la voûte étoilée… Vous aurez le vertige. » Extrait de « Patience dans l’azur » de Hubert Reeves Y a-t-il plus beau spectacle qu’un ciel étoilé ? Certains soirs d’été, lorsque j’étais enfant, nous veillions en famille jusque tard dans la nuit, allongés dans les …

In honour of Nuit des Étoiles (a festival where the public is encouraged to look at the stars and go to astronomy events, as far as I can gather. What a good idea, and you learn something new every day), here's a list of star-related female names: Astrée, Sterenn, and more.

A nice long list of good-quality names. If you're looking for more astronomical names, have a look here...

"A lot of space names are inspired by mythology, so they are old names that were then applied on space objects. A few are just modern space names and terms that have some serious potential as baby names, and a few have space related meanings."
Clare's insight:
Andromeda, Eris, Seren, and more lovelies.

" A while back I did a post on names of stars, but I was recently struck on how nice names that mean "star" are--Stella, Estelle/Estella, Seren, Esther, and the like. And so, I just had to go looking for more, and of course, to see if the word 'star' in other languages has name-potential in the US. ;)"
Clare's insight:
I'm very pleased I read this: I've recently met a Csilla, and thanks to this post, I now know a) where she comes from originally, and b) what her name means.

She's a borrowing from Slavic folklore, made famous by pioneering race car driver Danica Patrick.
Clare's insight:
I really like the subtle starry meaning.

"I have had a recurring dream that my son’s name is Astro. I like it but I am unsure if I should use it. I plan on using Michael or James somewhere in his name. Should I use Astro because of the dream, or just pick a different name altogether?"

This story reminded me that Anna from Babynamelover is using Astro as her "womb name" .... I think it's cute!

"In 'The Chronicles of Narnia' series, there appears a character in the books with no name. She is known simply as Ramandu's daughter - Ramandu being a star - and although her role is small, it is also quite important."

Hmm, I pick Samuel Tilman & Avis Ruth, Marian Olivet & Olwen Nowell, and Paul Llewelyn, Arthur Norman & Esther Tamsin.

Certains parents – de plus en plus il me semble – attendent la naissance de leur bébé pour arrêter son prénom. Certains veulent voir son minois et tentent de choisir le prénom qui siéra le mieux à sa personnalité (pas simple !), d’autres souhaitent rattacher le prénom (souvent le second) aux circonstances de sa naissance (Automne, Auguste, Avril…). Une …

I have put Selena / Selene *see on list of posts* but I have not ever added Luna. Some people will see this name and think Lunatic or think of the Harry Potter character, I see plenty of that on Yahoo Answers. This is a beautiful short name in my opinion. I haven’t always been a huge fan but I do really like it now. I have even decided to use this as one of the twin sister names in an upcoming novel I intend to write. The twins will be Luna and Lumina *see on list of posts*. I think using the Roman Goddesses name versus the Greek Goddess Selene or even Artemis that Luna seems more bohemian and modern. And the meaning The Moon is so nature connected and lovely.

Mad about Luna? You're not the only one who's moonstruck. This Harry Potter name and vintage revival has become quite stylish in recent years.
Clare's insight:
Who would have thought, fifteen years ago, that this name would be so well-liked and well-recognised? (Kudos to you if you did.)
