Give your child a name that’s out of this world (literally!) with these unique astrology names influenced by the astrological signs, constellations, and our solar system. Whether you name your child after an astrological sign (hello, Leo!) or something that will impress an astronomer (like Cressida, an inner satellite of Uranus), there are lots of heavenly names to choose from. For unique names a bit closer to home, consider baby names based on nature or travel.
Amalthea
One of Jupiter’s moons, the name comes from Greek mythology. Amalthea was a goat who nursed Zeus.

Faye
The name of a mid-size comet currently in the constellation of Gemini that’s controlled by Jupiter’s gravitational effects.

Jupiter
Originally a boy’s name, Jupiter is now commonly used for girls too. It’s the largest planet in our solar system and the god of the sky and thunder in Roman mythology.

Leo
Leo is both the name of a constellation and a dwarf galaxy within that constellation.
