Choosing a name for your baby can feel overwhelming at times. After all, there are so many names to consider — and it can be hard to settle on the right name if you haven’t met your little one yet.
That’s why some parents look for inspiration above — in the stars, that is. If you know your baby’s approximate birth date, you can choose a baby name that’s inspired by her zodiac sign.
“You can choose a name that’s based on the literal zodiac sign or take into consideration the characteristics or energy of that sign,” says Maressa Brown, the author of Raising Baby by the Stars: A New Parent’s Guide to Astrology.
You might choose to name your Pisces baby Meena, for example, which means “fish" in Sanskrit. Or you may want to give your passionate Aries the name Rhys, which means “ardor.”
Here are some astrologically-inspired 10 names for each of the 12 zodiac signs.
10 Aries baby names
Jason
A hero of Greek mythology, Jason was the legendary leader of the Argonauts whose most infamous exploit was stealing the Golden Fleece — the pelt of the winged ram (and Aries’ constellation) Chrysomallos.
The name Jason also has a softer side, though: It comes from Greek, and means “healer.”
Marcus
Marcus is a Latin name thought to be connected to Mars, the Roman god of war and the ruling planet of Aries.
Marcus has been the given name to many legendary men of Roman history, including the famous general Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) and the philosopher emperor Marcus Aurelius.
Marcella
Marcella is thought to be connected to Mars, the Roman god of war. It’s the feminine, Italian variation of Marcus by way of Marcellus, a Latin nickname for Marcus. Like its male counterpart, the name Marcella embodies the physical daring, assertiveness, and fiery persona of passionate, determined Aries.

Poppy
The color red is often associated with passionate, assertive Aries. Poppy is the name of the red flower, which was derived from the Old English word popaeg. While it’s always been popular in the U.K., the name only took off in the United States in the mid-2010s.
Rachel
Rachel comes from a Hebrew name meaning "ewe," which is the female counterpart of the ram, or Aries’ constellation. In the Hebrew Bible, Rachel first encounters Jacob — her eventual husband and the father of the 12 tribes of Israel — as she tends a flock of sheep.
The name saw a surge in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s, possibly with a little help from the beloved character of Rachel Green on the hit TV show Friends.
Rhys
Rhys is a traditional Welsh name that means "ardor" — as in passion or enthusiasm, two trademark characteristics of those born under the sign of Aries.
The name Rhys gained in popularity during the mid-aughts, but the feminine form, Reese, became more common around 2000, possibly due to the popularity of actress Reese Witherspoon.
Rory
Rory comes from the Old Irish name Ruiaidri, or “red king,” which is only fitting, since red is Aries’ signature color — a symbol of passion, courage, fire and blood.
While it has traditionally been a boys’ name (see: golfer Rory McIlroy), in recent years it has also become more popular as a girls’ name.
Shepard
Originally an English surname meaning someone who herded sheep for a living, the name Shepard started gaining in popularity as a first name in the mid 2010s. A male sheep is a ram — the symbol of energetic Aries.
Stephanie
Passionate. Independent. High-achieving. Those words are all perfectly suited to one of the most famous Aries singers and actresses of our time: Stefani Germanotta — aka, Lady Gaga.
Stephanie is the feminine form of the name Stephen, which comes from the Greek word meaning “crown” or “wreath.”
Tuesday
Why not join the Addams family and give your bundle of joy a (slightly more cheerful) weekday name? Tuesday comes from the Old English tiwesdaeg, meaning “Tiu's day.” Tiu is an ancient Germanic god who was the patron of warriors — much like the Roman god, Mars.
10 Taurus baby names
Adam
Adam is a play on the Hebrew word for “earth” (adamah) — and Taurus is the first earth sign in the zodiac. According to Genesis, Adam was created from the earth by God.
Adam has been a common name in English-speaking countries since the Middle Ages, but it saw an increase in popularity in the 1980s.
April
Taurus babies are born starting in late April — a spring month that’s associated with nature. April is likely derived from the Latin word aperire, meaning “to open” — as in, the opening of flowers.
Chloe
Chloe was a frequent nickname of the Greek goddess Demeter, the goddess of the harvest. The name also means “green shoot” — a nod to the earthy green colors of Taurus and the sign's known appreciation of beauty and nature.
Elizabeth
Tauruses are known for being thoughtful and deliberate — and was there anyone that embodied these characteristics more than Queen Elizabeth II, a famous Taurus?
The name goes beyond British royalty, though — it has roots in the Greek form of the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning “my God is an oath.”
Emerald
Give your little one a name that celebrates the color and beauty of nature. Emerald — the word for a green gemstone — is also the traditional birthstone of May, which is ideal for May-born Taurus babies.
George
George is derived from the Greek word georgos, meaning “farmer” or “earth worker” — perfect for Taurus’ earth sign. The name has also been popular with British royalty: Six British kings have been named George.
Another famous George (who also happens to be a Taurus): George Clooney.
River
A nature-inspired name, River has its roots in the Latin word ripa, meaning “riverbank.” The name was more commonly given to boys (think: actor River Phoenix), but in recent years has also been given to girls.
Rose
Famed for its beauty and fragrance, the rose was the flower of the Greek goddess Venus, the same planet that rules Taurus and oversees their love of all things beauty.
Francophiles may also appreciate the name: It has Norman French roots, likely in the forms of Roese and Rhoese.
William
Sensitive and mindful, Tauruses are known for their love of art. So why not name your little one after one of the most celebrated artists in history, the playwright William Shakespeare (another famous Taurus)?
William also has an illustrious history given its popularity with English royalty, including today’s Prince William.
Violet
From the English word for “purple flower,” Violet is a nod to the nature-loving aspects of Taurus, an earth sign. The girls' name has been common in Scotland since the 16th century, but it took off in the U.S. starting in the early 2000s.
10 Gemini baby names
Angel
Geminis are constantly on the move, thanks in part to the ruling nature of the planet Mercury — i.e., the Roman counterpart of the Greek messenger god Hermes. The name Angel comes from the Greek word angelos, meaning "messenger."
Flavian
Flavian comes from the Latin flavus, meaning “golden” or “yellow-haired.” Yellow is considered a Gemini color, in part because it’s energetic, bright and cheerful — all traits of a classic Gemini.

The word melissa means “bee” in Greek — a nod to the Gemini color of yellow, which symbolizes energy and cheerfulness, and the tendency of Geminis to zip from one activity to the next.
Morgan
A gender-neutral name, Morgan is given to both girls and boys. It was derived from the Old Welsh name Morcant, meaning “sea” and “circle.” The actor Morgan Freeman is a famous Gemini.
Tamsin
A shortened version of the name Thomasina — which is the feminine form of the name Thomas, meaning "twin" — Tamsin is a play on the Twins, which is the Gemini symbol.
Thomas
Speaking of the Gemini Twins, it’s only fitting to give your baby a name that literally means "twin." Thomas also has New Testament roots; in the Christian Bible, it was the name of one of the apostles.
10 Cancer baby names
Artemis
