Astrophel (m)
I would never use it, because IMO it sounds very feminine. However, I do love how it sounds and how it looks. It would probably generate a lot of teasing if it were actually used, though.What do you think of it?

I really like this name personally, ever since I read Astrophel and Stella, but would never use it in real life. I actually gave it to a character in one of my stories.It's definitely masculine to me.

I don't like it at all. It looks like astronomy and apostrophe rolled into one.

and Stella!Hehe. It's charming, but I wouldn't use it.(Astrophel and Stella is a sonnet sequence, btw)

Sounds like a waffel...with stars on it?

True... but I prefer it to Phil, at any rate.

I've never heard of it before. It reminds me of the word apostrophe for some reason.
