Capricorn: Naming a Baby With a Sagittarius Partner

Capricorn, you and Sagittarius are full of hopes and dreams for your child. You’re both looking for names that will imbue virtues and inspire your child to go after their ambitions. To you, that means traditional names with a powerful presence. To your partner, however, that means flexible names with resonant meanings.

You and Sagittarius are naturally independent, so coming together to decide on a name may present challenges beyond just taste. You two use opposite strategies for finding names. Capricorn, you start early and methodically assess each name according to your predetermined standards. Sagittarius thinks about names only when they feel like it, yet ends up with a long list of names that made them smile.

The process will require compromise from both of you. It’s no use trying to sit your partner down to decide on the name when you’re months away from meeting your child — you have to give Sagittarius time to do their own research and feel like they’ve explored their options. But your partner will have to work on narrowing down the list with you, and ultimately committing to a final name.

It may take you a while, but you and your partner will find an excellent name for your child. Think of creative solutions that can satisfy both of you. Maybe put a new spin on a family tradition, or consider a traditional formal name with an unconventional nickname.
