Male baby names that are both roman sounding and related to astronomy -- any ideas? I admit that I am at something of a loss.

	Oh dear, you're forcing me to look through that part of the library much too early. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You could always stick to the astronomy books? I have considered turning to a page on constellations and stabbing my wand down at random, but I could easily end up with Horologium and that will not do at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, I'm afraid that would not do it all. Let us see, then.

I suppose if we were to start with the major constellations and eliminate the actual zodiac and anything that sounds particularly feminine, we are left with: Cepheus, Cetus, Cygnus (which may or may not be appropriate, considering) Draco, Eridanus, Hercules, Orion and Perseus. Of course, this is just scanning the table of contents in the first book I happened to pick up, which likely isn't much help to you.

	Eliminating the names the Black family has already used leaves the options significantly depleted. Cepheus and Cetus are both fitting names, as is Draco. There is always star names also -- Castor, Procyon, Seginus and Propus are decent examples that I could find. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I rather like Castor, to be quite honest. Cetus is quite good as well. If you are asking me to pick favourites, in any case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I absolutely agree. I plan on narrowing down my favourites to a short list before making a final decision with Narcissa. I haven't even begun to think about girls names, I just feel so sure that we're having a boy. How are your wedding plans coming along? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hopefully, you will be saved the trouble of coming up with something new on the spot. That could be quite distressing.

To be quite honest, I want it to be over. Eva and her mother are quite often at odds over the decorations and I'm sure you can guess who is stuck with the final vote. It puts me in an impossible position. I would rather be married already than humour all the pomp and circumstance attached to the ceremony.

I'm sure Druella would love the chance to name the child if it were a girl, but I still hope that won't be the case.

I remember the feeling well. Yet the pomp and circumstance is the only part that many in our society pay attention to, and the preparations are really not a long period of time in comparison to a lifetime of marriage. If you need to escape, however, you know where I am.

	No, I suppose not. I'll only be bothering with this until the end of July. I can only hope things will settle down afterwards. In any case, I imagine I will be taking advantage of that offer in the coming weeks if I have another napkin pattern shoved under my nose. I'll bring good scotch. (Reply to this) (Parent)
