Firstly, thanks to all who answered before but i think i should have been more specific with my question. It's for my new born daughter Danica which is Yugoslavic for "The Morning Star". I'm not the kind of person to get a name tattoed on my body - regardless of who it is. So now that i have been more specific in my request. What owuld be the best and most accurate choice for me? Thanks all.

I checked the Bible reference at Revelation 2:28. The expression used is "stella matutina".
You might also consider "stella auroris" -- the dawn star.

The symbol for venus used in ancient times was the pentagram. The name 'Earendel' in old english means 'brightest angel' (which is the morning star or venus) after a poem by the then Bishop of Lindisfarne. So a pentagram inscribed with that name would certainly be novel and appropriate.
Lucifer(L) or Hesperus(Gk) just doesn't cut the mystic mustard!

As I said in my response to your first question, Stella Matutina is the best literal translation. This seems to fit what you want.
