When we are expecting a baby, one of the first things we start playing and thinking about is the choice of name. Some couples are clear about this and choose to continue the tradition of using the family name, but others decide to seek inspiration from other places.

In that search, we can find ideas in various places, such as literature or other languages and cultures. But sometimes, inspiration can be found by raising our eyes to the sky. We share 101 names for children inspired by the universe and astronomy.
