Choosing the Right Name

PDF download Download Article
  1. When choosing a name for your baby, a character, or even a pet, it’s important to think about what the name means, as this can help you decide if it’s the right one. Many space names are related to nature and mythology, so choose a meaning you’re most drawn to.
  2. 2
    Write the name down and say it out loud. This is especially important if you’re choosing a name for a child, as you want to make sure they can say and spell it without too much difficulty. Saying the name aloud can also help you determine if it sounds good with your surname and potential middle names. Consider whether the name can be shortened and if you’re okay with possible nicknames. [12]
  3. It’s important to be careful with this, as you don’t want to accidentally commit cultural appropriation, but consider space-related names from other countries or cultures to find something unique. This is a great idea if you want to reconnect with your roots. For example, if you were born in America but have ancestors from Ireland, you may want to look at Irish names. [13]
    • Keep in mind that it may not be appropriate to choose a name from a culture that isn’t yours. For example, if you’re white, some people may find it offensive if you choose a Japanese name.
