If You're Stuck on a Baby Name, You Can Always Look to Astrology for Inspiration

When it comes to baby names, there are many factors to consider before making a final choice. Will it go well with your last name? What about a middle name? Are there any family members you're looking to honor with a name? Is the one you like too trendy, or just trendy enough? Or the opposite — is it too common, the No. 1 reason for baby-name regret?

One of the reasons that naming a baby can be so hard is that you actually haven't met your baby yet, so you have to make guesses about if your name will fit the child's eventual personality. (Spoiler alert: No matter what you pick, it will.) If you're looking for any sort of hint or clue, though, you can always look to stars and choose a name based on the sun sign he or she was born under. Even if you don't put a whole lot of faith in astrology, the zodiac might offer another avenue for baby-name inspiration. Will he be a proud Leo? A creative Taurus? A free-thinking Aquarius? Astrologer Aurora Tower helps match astrological signs to certain common characteristics, and then suggests some baby names to match.
