Cancer: Naming a Baby With a Capricorn Partner

Cancer, you and your Capricorn partner care deeply about finding the right name for your child. You’re both committed to the process, and ideally would like to find The One sooner rather than later.

You approach the baby name process from different angles — pragmatic Capricorn thinks about names logically, not emotionally, and wants something solid and formal that might suit a CEO, department chair, or political leader.

You are more concerned with the here and now, and want a friendly, accessible name that suits a child of today. Emotions run the show for you, and you won’t be able to commit to a name unless it evokes a strong positive feeling.

The right name for you and your Capricorn partner should balance each of your preferences. You both want traditional, established names, so that is a good place to start. With this pairing, a common middle ground is a full name that appeals to the Capricorn parent, with a nickname that appeals to the Cancer parent — Theodore called Theo, or Eleanor called Ellie, for example.
