Separate names: we can't stop talking about it. What is beautiful and charming for one is terrible and not fun for another. And that's okay: all tastes may differ.

So someone writes to us: ‘I heard the name Uranus last week... for a girl and pronounced in Dutch. If you're going to choose a name from the planets, I would have really chosen a different one... Mercury or something, haha.’

These are more names based on the planets and the solar system:

Mercury: Merel, Merle, Merijn
Venus: Vesper, Vena, Venetia, Véda
Earth: Adam, Terra, Gaia
Mars: Marlo, Marsha, Marlin
Jupiter: Juup, Juliper, Julie, Julia, Juno
Saturn: Sander, Sandy
Uranus: Uriel, Ursula, Ursa
Neptune: Nena
Pluto (for those who still consider Pluto a planet): Pluun

Additionally, you can also consider names based on moons and other celestial bodies in our solar system:

1. Titan: Tiana, Titanus, Tibbe
2. Ganymede: Ganny
3. Io: Iona, Ione, Iolanthe, Isolde
4. Phobos: Phoebe, Phil
5. Deimos: Delia, Deon, Deimos
