Space Baby Names For
Boys

1. Alioth

Alioth comes from Arabic roots and translates to “fat tail of the sheep.”

Alioth is the brightest star in the Great Bear constellation, Ursa Major. It’s famed for being a navigational star often used by sailors in bygone days.

2. Altair

Depending on the translation, Altair can mean “the flying one,” “soar,” or “bird.” The name is Arabic but has partly Greek origins.

Altair is in the Aquila constellation and is the 11th brightest star in the galaxy. It’s a space-worthy name but could be confused with a commercial airline.

3. Apollo

Apollo was the son of Zeus and a principal deity in Greek mythology.

Apollo is known primarily in the U.S. as the NASA space program between 1961 and 1972, which took the first humans to the moon. Apollo might be too much of a burden as a first name but would make an unusual middle name.

4. Aries

Aries, pronounced, AYR-eez, comes from Latin.

This name is best known as the first zodiac sign “The Ram,” a constellation of brilliant stars located in the northern hemisphere. In Greek mythology, the golden ram was a sacrifice to Zeus. Despite this association, it’s more than suitable for a baby boy.

5. Astrophel

Astrophel is a literary name meaning “star lover.”

The English poet, Sir Philip Sidney, invented the name Astrophel during the 16th century when he used the name for his work, Astrophel and Stella.

6. Atlas

Atlas is of Greek origin.

Atlas was a Greek Titan, condemned to hold up the heavens for eternity. In astronomy, Atlas is a triple star system belonging to Taurus. It’s one of the fast-rising names on the U.S. charts.

7. Badar

Badar is of Arabic origin and translates in English to “full moon.”

Badar is a strong name with romantic tones and meaning. It’s not common in the U.S. yet, but that could soon change.

8. Castor

Castor comes from Greek and means “pious one.”

Besides being known as being a labor-inducing oil, Castor is one of the twins in the Gemini constellation. It’s a mythological name with an edge. James Hatfield from Metallica gave the name to his son.

9. Cielo

Cielo is an Italian name, translating to “sky.”

Cielo is expansive with sunny, fresh tones, exactly what you look for in an Italian name, although in the U.S, it’s uncommon.

10. Comet

Comet is an English word for a cosmic body of ice and gas that flies through the galaxy. As it gets close to the sun, a comet will begin to melt, releasing gas, and sometimes causing a tail.

Clement Clarke Moore named one of Santa’s reindeer Comet in the poem, The Night Before Christmas, so we believe it might be a better name for a pet than a baby.
