This picture pretty much encapsulates a lot of the stuff I want my name to be. Unfortunately "Twilight" is waaaay overdone, and I daresay "Evenstar" is, shall we say, taken. I can't think of anything else that sums up "very late evening sky with waxing crescent moon and evening star, preferably with tree silhouettes". I have not yet pinpointed my attraction to this kind of scene, by the way - I used to think I might have been born under this sort of tableau, but the moon was in waning gibbous phase when I was born, and the sky was much lighter (sunset 7:50 pm, end civil twilight 8:17 pm - a sky like that is closer to "end civil twilight", and I was born at 7:35). I have no idea if Venus was in a place to be the evening star on that day or not.

Anything I can think of comes out sounding straight out of Lady Pixie Moondrip (http://www.widdershins.org/vol3iss4/m9710.htm). It would be hard to keep a straight face with a name like that in a traditional witchcraft group, never mind rec.arts.mst3k.misc.

Re: this particular suggestion, "Blue Star" and "Silver Crescent" both happen to be names of traditions of Wicca and this would be ripe for confusion. Plus I just don't like it. :P (no offense)

Japanese isn't for me. I tried that once and it was one of the quickest names to start "itching" that I ever tried.
