We always say to our kids ‘I love you to the moon and back’. They are our ‘little stars’. So, why not to make it more real and find some baby names inspiration in to…heaven.
You have so many galaxies up there so imagine how many celestial names exist. I bet some of them you’ve never heard. If you are searching for unique baby names you should take a look at astronomy and stargazing. Obviously, you will not have a lot of time to go deep into it so I’m offering you myself.
