Its not really my style but I like the sound of it for a boy or girl but the Polaris Missile association puts me off it a bit.

Polaris is a snowmobile.

So that's all I think of. It's like naming your kid Yamaha or Kawasaki to me. Although, Polaris is a star, or something star related, which is a nice connection. I'm not up on my astronomy.

I love it. Actually, I was turned onto the name in a roundabout way. There was a woman named Polaire, who was a famous beauty in turn of the 20th century Paris. Polaire is the French form of Polaris.

I love the idea of naming someone after the North Star. Sadly, this name has not been well received when I have suggested it in the past. But for what it's worth you've really made me smile. I'm not crazy. Someone else likes it too. :-)

Leona Polaris is nice, but I think Leonie Polaris ("LEE-uh-nee" or "LAY-uh-nee") flows better. Or even Leontine Polaris? I do love that Leo has a subtle astrological connection to Polaris. How about:

Astraea Polaris ("a-STRAY-a") (Click on Astraea for a cool meaning)
Ursula Polaris (Little Dipper-ish?)
Thalia Polaris
Io Polaris
Gaia Polaris
Leandra Polaris
Leda Polaris
Lydia Polaris

love it for a girl

Oh, the GP potential of Polaris! Actually, I think I could deal with it as an actual middle name on an actual child, although I think I prefer it on a boy.
