Let&#8217;s face it: we are all guilty of thinking our children are shining stars. That&#8217;s because they are (at least in our lives), and though we know deep down that the universe doesn&#8217;t revolve around them, we can&#8217;t help it feel how extra special they are and how much brighter they make the world.<\/p>\n\n<p>This explains one reason why star names are so common for babies. Many parents want to give their child a name that means something to them. If you love astronomy and can\u2019t take your eyes off the night sky, then naming your child after a star (or even Star itself!) can help you think of them every time you look skyward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Star names can take the form of \u201cstar\u201d in different languages, as well as specific stars or constellations in our solar system. Here&#8217;s a quick peek at some of the most common names that mean \u201cstar\u201d or otherwise relate to stars:<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-aster-unisex\">1.
