Hesperos or Hesperus is the personification of the evening star in Greek mythology; in Roman myth, that role is held by Venus. There's a Longfellow poem called "The Wreck of the Hesperus" about a tragic ship voyage.

Hesperos

In Greek mythology, Hyperion is one of the twelve Titans: children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky). Hyperion presides over heavenly light, and is the father of Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon), and Eos (Dawn). 
The name, with its sci-fi appeal, has been well-used in popular culture: from John Keats' poem of the same name to Harry Potter (it’s the middle name of Draco Malfoy’s son, Scorpius). 
Hyperion is also a publishing house, a Classical music label and one of the 53 moons of Saturn.

In Greek mythology, Uranus is Father Sky, god of the heavens and father of the Titans. All admirable, inspirational qualities, and Uranus should even score extra points as a planetary, celestial name. Alas, that still doesn't make the name work in English, thanks to the teasing potential of the sounds.


Uranus

Vulcan was the Roman god of fire (from which, volcano) and metalworking, but this name is now more familiar as the pointy-eared humanoids on "Star Trek," represented by Mr. Spock.
