Altair

Following family tradition I wished to give a name to my daughter that was both empowering but also individualized to her. I agree with Seraphine eternal about gender names being able to shift over time. I named my daughter Coral ALtair Tavona. Tavona means lover of nature. She is a Scorpio with a moon in Pisces. There are different animals besides the Scorpion associated with Scorpio. A higher animal form of Scorpio is indeed the Eagle. It represents becoming more self aware of his/her powers. Once a Scorpio has developed sufficient self awareness and is ruled by intellect more than instincts and emotions, he/she can choose to use these traits as wanted. So that is why Lil Coral received the middle name Altair. I think it fits her well and if it harbors some masculine energy too, I think it may help round her out favorably. Names have power and why you choose them can add more power than sometimes simple syntax that drift and sway with time.

I don't know why, but I picture this as a superhero's name. Like a winged, birdlike hero called Altair. Eh, it's a cool image in my mind, and I find it to be a cool name.

This name sounds so much more superior to "Vega", the name of the star that the Qi Xi / Tanabata myth links it with. Nonetheless, Altair (the star) will still be a cowherd to me (as he was in the myth).
To me personally, the name gives more the impression of a woman who's strong of spirit, so I'll use it on a girl any day.

@ MioneGranger: Altaria's name is more likely derived from two Latin / Italian elements meaning "high" and "song" ("alta" and "aria") respectively.

I'd name a child Altara or Altarria or something like that, but never Altair. Sounds a little weird to me.
