Help with baby girl names?

My personal fave has always been Altaira (al-tare-ah). A friend of the family named his baby girl this back in the '80's. However, I've since heard that it came from a 1950's show "Forbidden Planet"

Consider naming her after a woman astronomer. There are many strong female role models to choose from. I feel this is the right way to go.

Caroline Herschel, who was born in Hanover, Germany, but lived in Windsor, England, became the first woman to discover a comet in 1786. She and her brother, William, are responsible for building the largest telescope of the time (40'), and credited with developing astronomy into a full-fledged science. King George III paid Caroline a small salary for her discoveries — making her the first recorded female scientist employed by royalty.

America’s First Lady of Astronomy was Maria Mitchell, of Nantucket, Massachusetts. She found her first comet in 1847, 61 years after Caroline Herschel. She went on to describe sunspots, eclipses and the surfaces of both Jupiter and Saturn.

Two exceptional women led to the creation of the Hubble Space Telescope: Nashville, TN’s Nancy Grace Roman — frequently called the ''Mother of the Hubble Space Telescope'' — and Margaret Peachy Burbidge of the U.K..

Vera Rubin theorized that our universe is made up mostly of “Dark Matter,” in 1964. Not until the 1980s was her research confirmed. The universe we see at night and through telescopes only comprises 10% of the actual universe.

Carolyn Spellman Shoemaker has identified 33 comets and asteroids on destructive paths to the planets in our solar system. The most famous of which was Shoemaker-Levy 9, which struck Jupiter in spectacular fashion, in 1994.

In 1999, Canadian Wendy Freedman used red shift measurements from the Hubble Space Telescope to determine that the universe is expanding in such a way as to suggest it was created 14 billion years ago

I have heard Gemini used for a girl before and think that it is really beautiful! :)

Gemini is an Air sign and is the sign of twins.

I also love the nickname Gem, it's so girly and sweet! :)

One of my favorite names is Lyra (LIE-ra), after the constellation. Lyra Marie has a good ring to it.

Andromeda. It's a galaxy

Nova.
