Female Moon Names

Moonmaid Cattery has assembled the following tables with names of moons. Most of the names are moons in our Solar System; when possible, the reference for the names is given. Some of the moons are from fictitious places; the reference to the fictional work is given as well. If no sex could be found in research, the name is listed on the "neutral" tables (i.e., many of the Science Fiction works such as McCaffrey or Bradley have made-up names).

For the purposes of this list, planets of our solar system are treated as 'moons' or satellites to our sun, Sol.
