About the name
Halley is English — "hay meadow" — but nobody hears the meadow: they hear the comet, named for astronomer Edmond Halley, who predicted its return and thereby proved the heavens keep appointments.
Rare as a given name (Hallie and Haley took the traffic), Halley is the sleeper celestial pick — the only name with a scheduled sky event attached (next pass: 2061).
Two bright syllables. It pairs well with grounded middles (Halley Jane, Halley Ruth). On our vibe map it is Celestial with a return ticket, Nature-Inspired at the root, and Y2K-adjacent sparkle.
