when I posted about this a few days ago most of the comments were negative. (sounds like "liar", a character name only, etc.)

I kind of like the astrological association.  I'm keeping it on my long list for now.

I hadn't seen it posted yet. Guess I missed that one :)

I really dislike it. It feels made up and that you're trying too hard. Just my opinion though.

It's a constellation of stars. Any other spelling would be wrong.

I love it, but it's more of a guilty pleasure name for me.

If you want similar sounds but not so unusual, you could do Lyla or Isla. My DD is Lyla and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Isla but obviously can't have a Lyla and an Isla.

I love both of those names, but DH has said no to them. He has a really odd way of hating one name, but liking a very similar.
