Re: What do you think of Nebula?
It's my friend's cat's name! Wouldn't like it on a person, "Neb" is a very unattractive sound. Never liked Stella, but I do like Estelle and Estrella. I also like Nova but it is very pet-coded too. Altair and Asterion are two I've always liked. Some planet names like Mars and Jupiter too. Urania and Ursa. Citlali. Danica. Seren. I even like Star on its own. Lots of pretty Kazakh and Turkish names with "moon" meanings like Aiday, Aylin, Ayten. Oh, and Luna. I like Luna. Also just "Moon" in the MN spot.

How do you pronounce Citlali? Seren is nice. I'm surprised it isn't used more.
The only Citlali I've known has pronounced it something like seet-lah-lee but it looks like another pronunciation listed on the website is seet-cha-lee. The Citlali I knew was Mexican-American. Same thing happens with Xochitl, where the ones I know pronounce it so-chee but the listed prn is sho-cheech. I'm sure it has to do with the Spanish adaptation of the Nahuatl names
The Xitlali I knew also pronounced it seet-lah-lee. I think the pronunciation on here is inaccurate.
