Geoff:
You left out Bellatrix and the "boys".
The star references are:
Sirius... alpha Canis Major (Great Dog)
Regulus... alpha Leo (Lion)
Bellatrix... gamma Orion
Andromeda seems to be the name if a constellation and not a star.
The odd one out seems to be Narcissa, which I would link to Narcissus in Greek
mythology.
Anyone point me to a star Narcissa?
