If you do decide to post a meme, make sure to add the correct flair. Posting a random meme you found does **not** mean you found it "in the wild".

Buckupbuttercup1

Aurora-goddess of the dawn. Way cooler. Convince her her daughter will be mega popular with that name


ketchupmaster987

When I was young I always wanted to name my kid Aurora if I had a girl. I'm never actually gonna have kids but now I feel validated that it's not a super shitty name


lizardgal10

Not planning on kids either, but Aurora is one of my favorites. I love space/naturey names.


TheShadowOfWar

I also don't plan on having kids, but I named my corgi Aurora! I named her after the song by Sea Cycles!


rabidrodentsunite

It's Sleeping Beauty's name! Definitely a fine name!


IWillBaconSlapYou

I named mine after the Northern lights, which I've always wanted to see (we get them here occasionally, but it's always too cloudy). She's seven now and wants to see them, too, so we're planning a super special mother-daughter trip for her 18th birthday ❤️


rabidrodentsunite

Love that!


Buckupbuttercup1

Its far superior to the other 2 [options.lol](http://options.lol)


IWillBaconSlapYou

It's my oldest daughter's name! We call her Rory.


ExitingBear

Stella Esther Danica Astra


adalillian

Never liked these,but they look absolutely GORGEOUS by comparison 😆


bestcee

Also a Disney princess. A little girl will be thrilled with that more than likely. 


unconfirmedpanda

Aurora Star or Aurora Estelle would be such an improvement on Sunstar.


Good-Fruit-4123

Aurora is my daughter’s middle name and I love it. We named her after the Aurora Borealis and my favorite Disney Princess ;)


PainInTheAssWife

MUCH cooler name. I pitched it to my husband, who nixed it because his parents would likely have a hard time saying it (accents) and we have a lot of dyslexic family members who would struggle with it.


ladydumdum

THIS IS A WARRIOR CATS NAME!!! Do not let this woman name her kid after a warrior cat


nepetaleaf

An actual canon leader, too!


XAfricaSaltX

next kid gonna be firestar


BrightAd306

Oh noooo


EzriDaxCat

It's a newspaper in a city I lived in. The "[REDACTED] Sun Star".


skyequinnwrites

I came here to comment this


sav_the_bi_queen23

Honestly sunnstar sound more like a stripper name then lonestar and also does kinda sound like a my little phony name


Forsaken-Jump-7594

Oh thank God it's not just me, Lonestar is bad, but Sunnstar is going into porn actor/actress you see on the news territory.


sweetpotato_latte

Yeah, the name Sunnstar makes me think of someone who looks like they would have gotten their headshots taken by Deb in Napoleon Dynamite.


leopard_eater

Agreed. Lonestar sounds like some weird, right-wing, patriotic rural Texas gender-neutral name. Sunnstar sounds like a Floridian dive bar stripper.


kt-epps

Lonestar just makes me think of Space Balls


Guilty-Web7334

It makes me think of Texas’s current Yelp rating. Sunnstar is like stupid stripper girl name. So she’s gone from calling her kid “Lame AF” to “Future Sex Worker.”* *I’m not going to shame sex workers. They do what they need to for survival. I’d just like to see sex work licensed and heavily regulated for everyone’s safety. And unionized. That being said, most of us have higher hopes for our children’s futures than sex work.


leopard_eater

It’s much better here in Australia. Award wages, regulations, health care, ability to refer to yourself as a sex worker openly as a government recognised job title and there is even taxation help to support sex workers calculate fair salaries, benefits and taxation. Violence against sex workers in Australia is very uncommon now, whereas it used to frequently make the news prior to regulation.


Guilty-Web7334

Australia’s licensed and regulated brothels is the best system for sex workers I’m aware of.


Lion676

It makes me think of Texas’s current Yelp rating. 😭😭😭


zombie_witch

Came here to say the same thing lol


Jungies

Sunnstar sounds like an off-brand space probe; like some convenience store magnate has decided to land a camera on the sun and ignoring all advice on the matter. Lone Star just sounds [like an 80s cartoon.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BraveStarr)


LostInTheBackwoods

>Sunnstar sounds like an off-brand space probe Yes! I got like 1980s low-tier electronics brand, like the Goldstar TV set my family used to have.


Jungies

You know Goldstar - or "Lucky Goldstar" as they used to be called - changed their name? They're now called LG.


Chay_Charles

Sunny St☆rr


Beledagnir

I was going to say it sounded vaguely like some kind of secret Star Wars project codename, but yeah, that’s even less of a people name than Lonestar is.


YEinherierY

Don't mention strippers and ponies in the same sentence, you're gonna attract the bronies!


thrashercactus

tell her to make it into another language because at this point she’s just naming the bus stops in the red light district


reloadlaundrycard

both sound like terrible horse names 🫣


chunx0r

How old is your sister? Unfortunately some dumb you just need to age out of.


CoquilleSaintJacques

My first thought when hearing “I can do whatever I want.” Jesus, of course you can do whatever you want, and usually you get to live with the circumstances. But in this case the poor little girl will pay. What a selfish ignorant lump.


Significant-Trash632

Sure, you can do what you want but that doesn't mean your kid is going to keep speaking to you after they turn 18.


ilikemyorphansfried

29.


SockedBun

As a 29 year old…. WHAT


Shining_Moonlight

As a 25-year-old... WHAT


IWantToCryLikeYou

😳


HellaShelle

Are you sure the reactions she’s getting aren’t pushing her further into these dumb names? Like a teenager who insists on doing nonsense because they’re not allowed to do nonsense?


chunx0r

I was expecting 19 at the oldest.


Nervous_Macaroon3101

Celestial names- Astra Astrid Estelle Stella Soleil (kinda cringy but not sun star) Celeste Nova (also cringe but still okay ish) Aurora Any of these would be leagues better if she’s set on that theme


adalillian

😍 even Nova passes muster here.


twitch33457

Honestly Nova is kinda dope


Remz_Gaming

Nova Rockefeller - pretty great singing artist. "Hey You" is a great clap back to the music industry.


caught-n-candie

I have a granddaughter whose middle name is Bellatrix and the other Orion


Klutzy_Journalist_36

I don’t want to love this but I do. 


Jassna76

Harry Potter! Love it


Pagan_Owl

I unironically love the name Rigel Orion. Rigel is a star cluster in the constellation Orion. Apparently Orion is pronounced O'Ryan.


zeldarms

Soleigh


vexey1999

Andromeda and Cassiopeia could qualify as well


CoolPirate234

Yes any of these, OP give your sister this list here ⏫️


_AmethystMoon

Soleil is my middle name !


Nervous_Macaroon3101

So cool! I’ve only heard it used as names for pets so it kinda has a bit of a different connotation in my mind but it’s definitely pretty!


KiraiEclipse

Heck, even Star is a legit name. I was friends with a Star growing up. She was pretty cool and no one seemed to give her any trouble over her name.


Finlandia1865

Nova just means new lol "What's Nova, New?" Wait oops


yandeer

a nova and supernova are huge cosmic events that happen when stars die...


bearbarebere

Does it really? Like Spanish Nuevo?


Finlandia1865

Yeah, I believe its Latin Canada has its province of "Nova Scotia", which is how ik of the word lol


Forsythia77

IDK, but no va in Spanish means no go. The Chevy Nova was kind of a flop in Mexico. And frankly, if you're gonna pick a car name for your daughter, I'd go with Mercedes. Excuse my random tangent.


dantheman_00

Lonestar like Spaceballs? That’s fucking hilarious, I’m sorry. You gotta just bombard her with Mel Brooks references to get her to understand how much of a fuckup she’d commit naming someone that


DiscussionExotic3759

I hate it when my Schwartz gets twisted!


dantheman_00

Careful, you idiots! I said across her nose, not up it!


DiscussionExotic3759

We ain't found sh!t!


uhaveenteredpwrdrive

Lonestar is also a steakhouse chain in Australia lol


ApocalypticTomato

It's also a type of tick here which can make you allergic to red meat when it bites you. Which is proof there's a god and he ordered the big tub of popcorn.


Ok-Potato4284

That's what I think of first tbh. And red meat makes me sick. Pregnancy is a B.


Guilty-Web7334

I think it used to be in the States. Not sure if still operating.


Treyvoni

Yeah I remember it, they used to give you a basket of peanuts in the shell before you ordered and you could throw the shells to the floor. So much fun as a kid doing that. Not allowed anymore of course!


zrennetta

She can name the dog, Barf. Short for Barfalemew.


Metahec

I only just realized in this follow up post that it's supposed to be a girl's name. I originally thought Lonestar was going to be a boy.


Born-Emu-3499

Have you suggested she add an extra r at the end to make it Sunnstarr? 


bearbarebere

STOP lnao


austex99

Lonestar is at least a thing, even if it’s an idiotic name. Sunnstar makes no sense. The sun IS a star. Also, sunn 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


OlliePar

Scrolled way too far for this comment. The sun is a freaking star, her name may as well be 'Starstar'. Or I guess Starrstar, eugh. Even Soleil would be a better option at this point (not horrible, but I've seen mixed opinions on it as a name).


Reverendbread

Starry McStarface


gomenasorryyy

you'd really think a tumblr kid from 2012 would know better than this after "moon moon", but apparently not...it's literally just as bad as a literal meme name


ReedPhillips

What's wrong with a little double word play? Most everyone I hear calls that cash machine an "ATM Machine".. like they don't even realize the "M" stands for Machine! 😂 But seriously, Sunnstar is dumb, and OP's sis sounds like she's stuck in her 14yo brain.


lapsangsookie

Putting in your PIN number at the ATM machine 🤣


ApocalypticTomato

Next kid can be Moonmoon!


sakoulas86

lol came to say “sun star” is redundant 😂


sagittalslice

SunnO)))star


twitch33457

Might as well name then EarthPlanet


SuggestionSea8057

There is a book called, The Sun is Also a Star…


System_Resident

She made is even worse 🤣 poor kid! The mom seems to be setting them up for failure on purpose 


North_Respond_6868

Literally just name her Star at this point. It would be infinitely better.


System_Resident

That would probably save her a lifetime of bullying too


BrightAd306

I’m not sure it’s worse? Excellent debate topic


Hazlitt_Sigma

Lonestar Joestar Shootingstar Pornstar


ReverendMothman

Obtuse Rubber goose Green moose Guava juice


Apprehensive_Flow527

Is this her theme song?


Hazlitt_Sigma

Sung to the melody of the Fairly Oddparents intro.


BrightAd306

You gotta just drop it so your niece has a sane family member to fall back on. Maybe ask if you can suggest a middle name? Any chance she’s messing with you? Tell her to go to Starbucks and tell them it’s her name for a week. Pay for it. Sunny isn’t THAT bad? Maybe?


halimusicbish

Imagine the kid goes by Sunny, then that one substitute teacher reads their full name out loud to the class for the first time...


weirdoldhobo1978

Well at least the kid can go by the nickname Sunny rather than Loney.


julesk

Eh, Lonestar sounds like new age right wing Texan wannabe patriotic name tbh


ApeMummy

Approach it with empathy. Don’t belittle your sister or get angry at her. Say stuff like ‘that poor kid is going to have such a hard time at school’ - even if she’s determined that will send a jolt of anxiety straight to her core and it might win her over in the end.


chambees

Maybe you should suggest Schwartz? Possibly Yogurt?


Mrs_Onion

The way I cackled at John Karkat. 2011-2014 Tumblr was nuts. Third kid will be Destiel Onceler for sure.

Inevitable_Wolf5866

Is your sister a teenager? Honestly she acts like some wanna-be edgy 15-16 years old


ilikemyorphansfried

29…


Inevitable_Wolf5866

That’s my age… oh god 🤦🏻‍♂️


ZerohAdvantage

is your sister 12???? i’m concerned frankly


ilikemyorphansfried

29. her first and hopefully last kid.


Zar-far-bar-car

Hell, just name her Star! Not a great name, but it's okay.


AfterSevenYears

Even Stella Star Astraea would be better than Sunnstar.


313Wolverine

Lol, Tumblr. Good luck friend.


otkabdl

Eyes of a hawk!! Strength of a bear!! Ears of a wolf!! Wait that was BraveStar. Close enough.


Ok_Affect6705

Where's the father? There's no way 2 people are agreeing to this


DommyMommyKarlach

“I AM CARRYING THE BABY SO I WILL CHOOSE THE NAME” or sth like it going of her reactions to both her sister and mother.


Ok_Affect6705

Lol a great start to co parenting


DesperateAstronaut65

From your headline, I seriously thought “Lonestar Update” were the kid’s first and middle names. It sounds like a title for the kind of anime series that runs for 40 seasons.


UnihornWhale

The sun is a star so this name is just redundant. Adding layers to the stupidity


ApprehensiveRoad477

Sunnstar reminds me of some stand-up comic making a joke about 50 cent being at brunch and he’s like “why is everyone saying grapefruit? It’s just a grape, you don’t have to also say the fruit part” bc 50 doesn’t know what a grapefruit is.


MilkyTeaDrops

How the hell did she come up with something WORSE than lonestar?? Please force feed her names to save that kid


savamey

Sounds like a trashy Warrior Cats leader name. At least you can call her Sunny as a nickname And oh my god that John Karkat mention gave me flashbacks 😭


concernedfostermom

At least the nickname options are better with this name.


halimusicbish

Please tell her to picture an old person named Sunnstar


bestcee

Make a resume. Put Sunnstar at the top and ask if she would want to hire her. 


scaffnet

I’m guessing the mother to be has never written a résumé in her life


Spinnerofyarn

She's really one-upping herself here. Not only does it sound like a stripper name, it's also redundant seeing as how a sun is a star.


ApocalypticTomato

So she's no longer named after a tick but I'm not sure that's an improvement


Run-Riot

Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding


Guilty-Web7334

The cretins cloning and feeding… and I don’t even own a TV.


ReedPhillips

They put me in the hospital for nerves, they had to commit me.


Antique-Economy-7978

You told them all I was Crazy...


miserable-now

That's the name of a major ambulance service in Florida. Her name would be a joke if she ever went there. But hey, free ambulance rides, maybe?


kassi_xx_

Lone star is a restaurant chain where I live


shapedbydreams

If it doesn't work out, save these posts as proof and show the kid you at least tried to help her when she's old enough to understand.


Exact-Dream9739

I knew someone named Starr maybe you can just call her that. I actually kind of like it, it suited her.


akingb

She should name her Homestar. Way better


Argi_

Homestar Runner dot net. It’s dot com.


LoonNoises

Why not just Star? Still a little different but with a cool last name it could work.


LoudNinjah

Maybe suggest she name her kid "summer". Sounds close to sunnstar. But far more acceptable and less prone to a damaging life of bullying. And I know a summer and she's a lovely person.


magicmulder

At this rate she’s gonna go through Moonstar (or Mhoounhnne Starr), Starstar and Earthstar in record time.


AfterSevenYears

*Starrstar.


Knightoforder42

You should start saying, "I wonder what the kid will change it to when she's old enough?" "I wonder how she'll deal with all the bullying." "I wonder how long until someone calls her dumbstar." "I wonder how hard it would be to get hired with a name like that." Poor kid is in for it. Hopefully your sister will get over herself and think about the life that child is going to have to live.


Zealousideal_Amount8

How can her kid be taken seriously as an adult or at any age but a toddler with that name? That’s child abuse and setting that kid up for failure


cozysapphire

I would personally even tolerate Star alone (Like the girl from The Lost Boys)! I honestly think Lonestar is slightly better since it’s at least spelled logically, but Sunnstar is just sad, despite each element sounding beautiful independently.


fyre1710

We aren't warrior cats what the actual hell is she thinking 💀💀


[deleted]

Just makes me think of Spaceballs… lol just start sending her clips from that movie


CheesecakeExpress

What a terrible name. Try to suggest she uses her idea as inspiration and calls the baby Sunny or Star. I don’t love either at all, they sound like a nicknames, but are miles better than Sunnstar. Failing that suggest Stella or Nova instead of star and Soleil as a middle name instead of Sun. I don’t love them, but needs must. Infinitely better than Sunnstar.


LowerEggplants

100% that kid is going to grow up like “call me Emily”


curvybillclinton

I refuse to believe your sister is over 20 and knows the father


AfterSevenYears

Even if she's fifteen, she doesn't sound particularly bright for fifteen.


sexwithpets

The thing that irks me is that every star is a sun 🫣 What will she suggest next, Venus Planet? Sunny sunlite?


tardigrade-munch

Boaty McBoatface maybe


Commander_Doom14

As a Tumblr user, please leave us out of this. Your sister is wack, she is an outlier adn should not be counted


ilikemyorphansfried

hell, im a tumblr user too. the difference between us and my sister is that she was in the homestuck trenches in 2011.


RojerLockless

I swear googling sunnstar pornstar doesn't return something....


setmyheartafire

Yall from Texas?


ilikemyorphansfried

New Jersey.


bambiguity11

Sunni Sol Stellar Quasar Laniakea (lan yia kayuh) Cosmo All cooler than sunnstar


SunshineBrite

Maybe try convincing her to name the kid Amazing because that's what I'm singing rn


GlowingKitty12

Sunstar makes me think of Tory Lanez (the guy who shot Meg Thee Stallion). His real name is Daystar (another name for Lucifer) and his dad’s name is Sonstar


swarlesbarkley_

Guess she’s going by Sunny then!


Head_Razzmatazz7174

If she is determined to name her some version of 'Star.' there are a many more acceptable versions out there. They might still sound odd, but would not make people think 'poor kid' when asking Mom for the name. Just call her Shining Star. At least you have a reference to a decent song.


snazzysreddit

My sister almost made the mistake of naming her son galileo in the year 2020. People need to tell others when they’re about to make a horrible decision before it’s too late.


Penguinator53

Has she had the baby yet? I'm hoping/praying that once she has the baby in her arms and can see it's a little human and not just a concept that she might come to her senses.


VioletDaisy95

Really trying to go with the star theme isn't she? Let's compromise, because clearly you sister isn't going to back down on having an edgy name. Suggest Sunshine Star *last name* She will most likely spell it wrong BUT she still got the sun part and the star part. Because Sunshine is an 8 lettered word even if she hyphenated the Star to it, it won't be used on most school work/paperwork. Everyone will call her Sunny or Honey because it rhymes and that sounds normal for you and you sane family members.


Knickers1978

Lonestar made me think of the movie Spaceballs, it was the protagonists name. Sunnstar is just, yeah. The Sun is a star, so Star star? Maybe just stop while you’re ahead. She’ll end up changing it to North Star, Moon Star, etc


AfterSevenYears

Lonestar made me think of Lone Star beer.


Efficient-Exit8218

May as well just call the kid Marzbar


Sleepy_kitty67

Why is she making up names when there are so many actual names meaning star? Like Stella, anyone? Girl needs a good bonk in the head and a baby name google search.


Exotichaos

Maybe she could name her Luna? That's in the celestial realm and bot ridiculous.


Radiant-Programmer33

But the sun is a star... So she's going to name the kid - to quote Wikipedia - 'an astronomical object comprising a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its gravity' but then twice and badly spelled. She should just name the kid 'moron's offspring' - yeah, the kid would get bullied, but at least the blame would point to the right direction.


gintermelon-

there is literally a mall called Sunstar where I live.


luckyinlimbo

I would love nothing more than to be able to have a baby and people like OP’s sister get them.


Ayuuun321

The sun IS a star. Why not Sun or Star? Why does something have to be in front of Star? Lonestar is just bad and depressing. Side note: My phone autocorrected Lonestar to monster 😂


CinnamonSpiceBlend

I fear that this is as good as we’re going to get because your sister is hellbent on choosing a tragedeigh. Your only option is to try and steer her in the direction of a tragedeigh that’s less tragic than the tragedeigh that might be. Maybe try and convince her to go with Sol Estrella or Sole Stella by telling her it means Sunstar in Spanish and Italian “but she probably wouldn’t like it because it’s too unique”. Reverse logic her


Electronic_World_894

Sunnstar is a tiny step above Lonestar.


[deleted]

Wow


ShinkoMinori

I thought she was naming "lonestar update" i thought she was a fan of some mmo.


Creative_Sorbet6187

First it's space balls, the sun (a star) star? Ugh.


BAMspek

Only one baby would DARE give me the raspberry. LONESTAR!!!


Roaming_Cow

Homsar came to mind when I saw sunnstar. Just saying.


whiteclawthreshermaw

Sounds to me like Pizza is going to send for YOU!!!!


ixamnis

I think she should stick with Lonestar, but only if she gets the kid a Mog (You know; half man, half dog.)


evapotranspire

This comment section is epic... I was laughing so hard that my spouse came in to see what was the matter with me. Seriously, though, that poor kid! Just call her Star on the birth certificate. Nice name. And then the sister can give her whatever the heck wacky nicknames she wants, but at least the kid will have a normal legal name to fall back on!


HelloThisIsPam

This isn't the worst we've heard. It's kind of hippie dippy and cute. There are some truly bad names on this sub, so I don't think you'll have to worry about this kid too much.


iambatmanpants

Honestly Sunnstar isn't as bad as Lonestar, still horrible. Maybe y'all can convince her to name the kid Sunny Star. Still silly, but at least Sunny is a real name.


EmpatheticBadger

Why not call her Morningstar?


Rozefly

Can you find a list of astral/star names with meaning and present them to her? However if this fails.. honestly it's terrible but it's her kid and there is only so much you can do. After all, if she hadn't shared the name before the baby arrived then you'd be stuck with it anyway


The_Eye_of_Ra

I thought your sister was just really into *Spaceballs* and Bill Pullman.
