Dallas Morning News<\/a>. \u201cWe already had our glasses and prepared to watch it somewhere else, but we were ready.\u201d<\/p>\nSol translates to \u201csun\u201d in Spanish, and Celeste means \u201cheavenly,\u201d or \u201cof the sky.\u201d <\/p>\n
The name perfectly matches the moment of the baby\u2019s birth, and it coordinates with her older sister, Luna, which means \u201cmoon.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the Social Security Administration, seven baby boys were given the name Eclipse in 2025.<\/p>\n
These parents really leaned into the magic of the moment, but if you want to want to give your baby a nod to a celestial name but want to make it more \u201cwearable,\u201d baby name expert Colleen Slagen has some suggestions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith names like this, I\u2019m always thinking of options that allow me to have my cake and eat it, too,\u201d Slagen tells TODAY.com. \u201cIf I was so tied to the name Eclipse, I would want a more mainstream, wearable nickname option.\u201d<\/p>\n
She points to reality TV couple Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi Goytowski, who met while they were contestants on \u201cLove Is Blind.\u201d The pair ended up getting married and they have two children: 2-year-old daughter Galileo Terri Rayne (nicknamed Lars) and newborn son Polaris J\u00b3ohn Pax (nicknamed Polar Bear).<\/p>\n
Slagen says the couple can also call their daughter Gal or Layla. Nickname options for a male Polaris are a bit more limited, but parents could use Polly if using the name for a girl.<\/p>\n
To round out celestial name\/nickname possibilities, Slagen likes Meridian (Meri), Ciel (Elle), Soleil (Sol) and Estelle (Stella).<\/p>\n
As for the name Eclipse, Slagen laughs, \u201cI might have stuck it in the middle myself, but I\u2019m all for somebody using the name they want, especially when they\u2019re feeling inspired by something.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Each week, the TODAY Parents team highlights a favorite baby name or set of sibling names.
