Have you been searching heaven and earth for the perfect name for your new arrival? 

Some of these beautiful names have been around as long as time itself, meaning they're highly unlikely to go out of fashion any time soon. Take your inspiration from a galaxy far, far away and pluck the perfect moniker out of the sky... BOYS Archer: The Sagittarius grouping of stars Atlas: A small inner satellite of Saturn Caelum: faint constellation in the southern sky Callisto: The third largest moon in the solar system Cosmo: This one originates from cosmos, meaning the 'whole universe' Finlay: A recurring comet Lo: The most volcanic moon in the solar system Loni: A Hawaiian name meaning 'sky' Neil: What could be cooler than being named after Mr. Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon? Yury: Cosmonaut Yury Gagarin was the first human in space GIRLS Aurora: The Roman goddess of the sunrise Celeste: This beautiful name comes from celestial, meaning heavenly. Elara: A moon of the planet Jupiter Estelle: A French name meaning 'star' Luna: The Latin for 'moon' Miranda: The smallest, most unique moon of Uranus Mona: Meaning 'moon' in old English Nova: Meaning 'new' is also the astronomical term for a star that suddenly grows brighter Phoebe: Feminine form of the Greek Phoibos (bright one), or the moon personified Seren: This Welsh name means 'star' Main image: Knotted Baby Hats  by Fred & Noah Childrenswear
