Space baby names are expansive. There are cool star and planet names like Uma and Bono, and then there are the even more extreme astronomical star and constellation names.
Space names might appeal to parents looking for baby boy or girl names that are unique and celestial — in other words, heavenly names. Space names for babies include names related to all things planetary and nebular, from names of stars to satellites to astrology.
Along with Nova, other space names for girls in the US Top 1000 include Aurora, Luna, Miranda, and Phoebe. Rare female space names we love include Tarabai, Navi, and Columba.
In addition to Atlas, other space names for boys in the US Top 1000 include Leo, Orion, Samson, and Titan. Unique space names for boys include Tau, Comet, and Badar.
