Well I've seen your family tree (as it's Draco's and Hydra's as well, and I'm in Slytherin so everyone knows the family tree of anyone who's of any importance) and I think my favourite name on there is Cassiopeia, for a girl. You could call her Cassie for short.
For a boy I like Arcturus. Or you know, this isn't in your family tree but Perseus is also a constellation. Your baby will be far enough in age that you wouldn't have to worry about people getting him confused with Percy Weasley.
Or there are flower names in your family too, like your Aunt Narcissa. Of course you'd want something that wasn't Narcissa because too many of the same name is just confusing (that's why I think you shouldn't use Junius, they'd never know whether you were calling to your son or your husband, not that you should pay me any mind if that's what you really want) but the name Iris is lovely. Iris is in mythology even if she's not a star name AND it's a beautiful flower. And in mythology she's the daughter of a nymph, and your name is Nymphadora, so it would be perfect.
(I really like flower names myself but that's because my best friend is named Pansy!)
I'm so excited for you about your baby. I like babies and I'm good with them. If the Strettons let me during summer hols maybe I could come visit your shop and hold it for a bit and give you a break sometime?
