			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Estelle wrote to me recently with a tall order:</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m having quads (!!!) in 4 weeks and I need names! I&#8217;m having one boy and three girls. My 4 year old son&#8217;s name is Cosmo. My husband and I like spacey, whimsical and weird names.</p></blockquote>
<p>In fact, they &#8220;don&#8217;t have any limits on how weird a name can be.&#8221;</p>
<p>One girl name they&#8217;re considering is Ione, which is a family name.</p>
<p>The combination of Cosmo and the adjective &#8220;spacey&#8221; made me think of star and constellation names right off the bat:</p>
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100">
Adhara<br />
Aldebaran<br />
Altair<br />
Aludra<br />
Antares<br />
Antlia<br />
Aquarius<br />
Aquila<br />
Aries<br />
Auriga<br />
Azha<br />
Carina<br />
Corvus
</td>
<td width="100">
Cygnus<br />
Deneb<br />
Denebola<br />
Hamal<br />
Kastra<br />
Lacerta<br />
Libra<br />
Lyra<br />
Meissa<br />
Musca<br />
Nashira<br />
Norma<br />
Orion
</td>
<td width="100">
Pavo<br />
Polaris<br />
Rana<br />
Rigel<br />
Shaula<br />
Sheratan<br />
Sirius<br />
Sirrah<br />
Suhail<br />
Taurus<br />
Thuban<br />
Vega<br />
Vela
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>One nice thing about these is that several together probably wouldn&#8217;t scream &#8220;star names&#8221; to the average person. Unlike, say, a group of flower names. (Though I&#8217;m sure stargazers would catch on pretty quickly.)</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s what we have for non-galactic suggestions:</p>
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100">
Allegra<br />
Althea<br />
Apollonia<br />
Artemis<br />
Aurora<br />
Briony<br />
Calypso<br />
Clio<br />
Danae<br />
Demetria
</td>
<td width="100">
Echo<br />
Eulalia<br />
Freya<br />
Hestia<br />
Imelda<br />
Imogen<br />
Isis<br />
Lucasta<br />
Luna<br />
Jonquil
</td>
<td width="100">
Minerva<br />
Olympia<br />
Rhea<br />
Sapphira<br />
Severina<br />
Ursula<br />
Vita<br />
Xanthe<br />
Zelda<br />
Zenobia
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Those were the girl names, these are the boy names:</p>
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100">
Agni<br />
Aldous<br />
Barnaby<br />
Casper<br />
Cyril<br />
Elan<br />
Evander<br />
Erasmus<br />
Fabio<br />
Gideon
</td>
<td width="100">
Horatio<br />
Ignatius<br />
Isidore<br />
Jethro<br />
Leander<br />
Loki<br />
Magnus<br />
Milo<br />
Nigel<br />
Odin
</td>
<td width="100">
Pascal<br />
Peregrine<br />
Reuben<br />
Rémy<br />
Silas<br />
Taliesin<br />
Theron<br />
Tycho<br />
Ulysses<br />
Zenon
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>What other whimsical names can you come up with for Estelle? And, can you put together any good combinations of 1 boy and 3 girl names?</p>
