Gemini: Naming a Baby With an Aries Partner

Gemini, Aries’ passion for finding a dynamic name will match your love of researching all the possibilities. Together you will find a name that dazzles with ambition and charisma. 

Aries’ quest for finding the best name may feel at odds with your swirling search. You consider inspiration from all sources, looking at each name’s sense of wordplay and versatility. Aries will be thinking of the most advantageous name for your child. Your partner only wants the best, meaning the most accomplished, the most forward-thinking, the most most. For you, best might simply mean the most expansive. These two perspectives can benefit and inform each other, guiding you both to elevated and surprising choices. 

Aries is willing to take great leaps when picking a name, and won’t be interested in the latest trends or looking anywhere on a popularity list. They love to be first, and a way to bring them closer to your more literary inclinations is to look to vintage names that haven’t been revived yet. Aries will also be most amenable to names that have great force — a zip of energy that runs through them. Lyrical beauty is fine and dandy to Aries, but what they are really seeking is a bold impact.

Your partner might struggle with your difficulty in making a choice — Aries is so goal-oriented that your constant exploration may feel like it is thwarting the name-finding mission. Remind Aries that every new inspiration brings possibilities that might outshine what they had previously deemed "the one." Your constant research is ensuring they have really seen all that is out there before deciding. 

Beware of talking too openly about your choice once it is made — Aries will be protective of the name and its specialness. Share it in confidence, unless you and Aries have agreed to stake your territory and announce the name ahead of time.
