Help me name the litter

Mom and 11 pups. I was thinking of naming mama Constellation, or Connie for short. And naming the pups after constellations. Leo, Andromeda, Milky Way....need 8 more. I like the idea of a theme, and this seems to be a good one. The theme is how we went with Country/Western for the last litter. We knew who the mom and dad were, and with Dixie and Hank, it made sense.

And Draco, Cepheus, Antlia, Orion, Lacenta... Puppis, of course...

You could use Castor and Pollux for the Twins constellation, and there's also Perseus, and the rest of the Zodiacal constellations, like Virgo and Taurus and Ares and Sagittarius.

A book of star maps can probably give you more ideas, too.

Good luck!

helpfully,
Bright
