Sagittarius: Naming a Baby With a Capricorn Partner

Sagittarius, you and Capricorn 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 flexible names with resonant meanings. To your partner, however, that means traditional names with a powerful presence.

You and Capricorn 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. Sagittarius, you think about names only when you feel like it, yet end up with a long list of names that made you smile. Capricorn starts early and methodically assesses each name according to their predetermined standards.

The process will require compromise from both of you. Capricorn wants stability and commitment, which means you will have to put in the work to narrow down the list and ultimately find a final choice that works for both of you. Your partner’s challenge is to give you time and space to explore all of your options.

It may take you a while, but you and your Sagittarius 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.
