Astrophel

It's all right, but a bit out there. The meaning is beautiful, though :)

Beautiful for a character.

I agree that it is a bit too much for a first name, but it could make a breathtaking middle name. To me it seems feminine.
Like:
Isolda Astrophel
Guinevere Astrophel
Elaine Astrophel
Victoria Astrophel.

It's a bit too big and out there for a real person's name, but I love it as a fictional character's name. The name of an astronomer, or an astronaut.

To me it actually sounds more feminine.

This name, in my opinion, is ultra-futuristic and is very space-age. It's also very odd, at first, that it's the sort of name that grows on you in time. :)

I would rather give this name to a girl, but make it Astrophelle so it would sound more feminine.

Although this name has the most gorgeous meaning, I can't help thinking of the word "atrophy".

I'm a fan. Thoughts: Reminds me of the word "asphodel", a type of flower; also, it's terribly, heart-breakingly sweet that Sir Sidney's characters are named "Star-lover (Astrophel) and Star (Stella)". Aww!

Agreed with Pippin, this name does sound like it would fit a girl more. I wouldn't mind using this for a daughter.

This is rather an interesting name. It sounds nice, and it's one of those few names that (to me) has a sound that suggests its meaning. When I hear the name, I imagine an astronomer who has a real love for stars, planets and constellations. Though, the name sounds actually somewhat feminine to me. I guess that you could change it to Astrophelia to get a feminine version. It's actually quite interesting.
