Hmm. Come to think about it, there are pretty good candidates amongst star 
names. These are from the apparent brightness Top 20 list:

 Vega, Capella, Rigel, Procyon, Agena, Altair, Acrux, Spica, Antares,  
 Deneb, Mimosa...

Or constellations:

 Carina, Lyra, Aquila, Crux...

Or perhaps asteroids (most of these, as well as the names of other 
planetary bodies in the Sol system, come from Greek or Roman 
mytology):

 Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, Hygeia, Juno...

Or maybe a single Greek letter:

 Zeta, Eta, Lambda, Mu, Xi, Rho, Tau, Phi...
