Cancer: Naming a Baby With a Sagittarius Partner

Cancer, you and Sagittarius are speaking different languages when it comes to baby names. You’re interested in following the rules with a traditional, familiar choice that identifies your child as a member of their generation. Sagittarius wants to defy convention with a nontraditional — sometimes radical — name that sets their child apart from everyone (let alone their peers).

These vastly different values can cause conflict. Sagittarius can be a blunt communicator, which has the potential to hurt your feelings, Cancer. Your instinct is often to shut down or use passive-aggressive tactics, but this will only increase tension with your partner.

It may seem like you and your partner are diametrically opposed, but common ground can be found! Sit down with Sagittarius and discuss what each of you is looking for in a name, and key into any shared points. Sagittarius appreciates names with flexibility, so you may consider a compromise option, such as using a Cancer-style full name and a Sagittarius-style nickname, like Nicolai called Nix, or vice versa — Mazikeen called Maizy.
