Could I get some of you guys' favourite celestial or gemstone related BOY names? I know this is harder than girl names. :)

Separate from the above, how about names that mean luck? Also boy names.

ALSO separate from anything else: Boy names that mean a day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, blah blah), or a time of day (born at dawn, night, whatever.)

I already have a few from each column, but I'm wondering if there's any out there I'm missing, thanks! :D

I'm going to help as much as I can...
Fave celestial/gemstone names for boys: Orion is the only one I really like.
Luck: Don't really like any. Chance is okay, but I would not personally use it.
The only names I know of relating to specific days are African names, but if you like I could make a list for you.
For time of day: I only like Lilith, which is a girls name.

This may be more helpful than I am. You can filter by gender, also: http://www.behindthename.com/themes.php

I like that one.

Garnet, like in the movie Flower and Garnet? I like that name theoretically, but I think hearing it would make me sad.

Micah and Jett could both be considered gemstone names, and personally I like Slate, although that's just, you know, rock, not a gemstone.
