Names Written in the Stars

You can choose a name that aligns with your baby's sign traits—like strong, fiery names for Leo or Aries, and calm, flowing names for Pisces or Cancer. Many parents also look at the "ruling planet" or "element" (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) associated with the sign for inspiration.

While the birth month determines the zodiac sign, it doesn't strictly dictate the name. However, many parents love using the birth stone, birth flower, or seasonal themes of that month (like "May" or "Autumn") to find a name that feels connected to their baby's arrival.

For 2026, we are seeing a rise in celestial and nature-based names. Names like "Luna," "Orion," "Nova," and "Aurora" are trending across multiple signs. Parents are also gravitating towards names that mean "star" or "light" to symbolize a bright future.

Yes, your due date gives you a very strong indication of the zodiac sign. However, if your baby is born on the "cusp" (the days when the sign changes), they might exhibit traits of both signs. Our calculator above helps you find the exact sign based on the date.
