About this list
Scorpio baby names are strong and magnetic, as are Scorpios themselves. Scorpio names can be drawn from a variety of sources that include the properties of this zodiac sign for babies born between October 23 and November 22.
In astrology, Scorpios are associated with steel, the color red, and fall flowers such as the chrysanthemum. Names for babies born under Scorpio might include names that mean water, as Scorpio is a water sign.
The top Scorpio baby names for girls in the US include Luna, Scarlett, and Hazel. The top Scorpio names for boys in the US include Theodore, Brooks, and Phoenix.
Unique Scorpio baby names currently rank outside of the US Top 1000. They include names connected to symbols of the zodiac sign, such as the aster and steel, along with names that mean dark, including Kanika and Keir.
You may also consider October names or November names for your Scorpio child.
