Gemini Names

Gemini names often start with the symbol of the twins. If you're looking for a name for a Gemini baby, you could consider names that mean twin, or use a name that references a famous twin from history or literature.

Gemini is represented by the color yellow, which comes in many shades that could work as a name for a Gemini baby. Names for a Gemini baby might also include those related to the sign’s intellectual qualities, or its status as an air sign of the zodiac, drawing in names that mean air.

May names and June names would also be excellent choices for your Gemini baby. The gorgeous flowers and nature associated with these beautiful months might also prompt ideas for Gemini baby names.

If you are a Gemini yourself, check out our guide to The Gemini Namer for insight into how your Gemini traits may influence your taste in names as well as your experience with the process of choosing a name.

Include some of these Gemini baby names on your list if you are expecting a baby born in late May until the start of summer. Here is our full collection of Gemini names for babies, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
