Celestial Names: Star and Planet Names

Columba is an early saint's name that rhumbas to a modern beat. While the original St. Columba is male, the name sounds more appropriate for a girl in the modern world. Leave variations Colm and Callum for the boys.

Despite being a male character in Greek Mythology, we think Auriga wears better on a girl. It's the name of one of the 88 main constellations.

A star in Scorpio whose name would certainly translate into a soft and unusual option for your November baby.

Alternative for the ultrapopular Jamal.

Sagitta is not a part of the Sagittarius constellation, but rather its own collection of stars. However, its meaning, "arrow," would make it ideal for a Sagittarius daughter.

Star name that could also be another spelling of Asia or Aja.
