Taurus, you're known for your loyalty, stubbornness, and work ethic, all of which you bring with you when naming a baby. Here, gain insight into your signature Taurus name style, approach to baby naming, and names you might like, along with expert intel on your Taurus baby.

When it comes to your baby’s name, Taurus, nothing but the best will do. You are crystal clear about your criteria from the start, and you’ll work tirelessly to find a name that meets your exacting standards.

Compromise is not a word that often features in your vocabulary, Taurus. Once you’ve set your mind to something — be it a name, a style, an honoree — you’re not easily budged. This can lead to friction if naming with a partner, but beware of letting the process descend into a battle of wills! 

True, with your Taurean determination you’re likely to win such a battle eventually, but it’s far better to head off any potential clashes before they arise. Agreeing on a baby naming rubric together at the outset will help to keep you both moving in the same direction.

Taurus, your unwavering loyalty to family and heritage has a big influence on your baby name preferences. It’s very important that your child’s name honors their ancestors and connects them to their roots, and you’ll naturally gravitate towards your own family tree for inspiration. 

Just remember to keep the bigger picture in mind when pushing for family names. Will the baby have your surname? Then perhaps the first name could represent your partner’s family. Does your first child have your grandfather’s name in the middle? Then maybe baby #2 gets a family name from the other side.

If you’re going down the honor route, balance is key to avoid tension both between naming partners and the wider family.

Taurus, your ideal baby name not only sounds good – it also needs to look good, roll off the tongue, and conjure up beautiful imagery. You’re in the market for a name that oozes style and sophistication, and appeals to your sensual side.

Even though your taste tends towards the more elaborate end of the naming spectrum, you’re looking for elegance rather than extravagance. Popularity isn’t a big concern, as long as a name projects the right image. You’re drawn to on-trend sounds like soft consonants and fluid vowels, and may choose a less common lengthening of a classic nickname to balance your desire for opulence and accessibility.

Taurus, your artistic sensibility sees you taking inspiration from your favorite cultural genres, but you’re selective about which ones you showcase. Classical music, art, or literature? Absolutely. Your guilty pleasure TV show or favorite Disney movie? Not so much. 

Your worst nightmare would be inadvertently choosing the next Kardashian baby name, or the most popular dog name of the year. Your choice of name should peg you as a cultured, sophisticated parent and inspire your future child to strive for the finer things in life.

The sensory experience of long names like Evangeline and Sebastian, as well as tailored names such as Celeste and Rex may meet your Taurus standards of aesthetics and sophistication.

Taurus, here's how to most effectively navigate the naming process with your partner, based on their sign.

A grounded little Bull is bound to be blissful when they can take their sweet time with just about everything. Tauruses love being held; whether nestled in a swaddle, cuddled up in your arms during a feeding, or getting their first taste of fruit, they’ll gaze at you lovingly, soaking in the moment.

Your little Taurus is also tactile and will revel in a massage—perhaps with a soothing lavender-scented lotion. You might notice that your little Earth sign is especially content while surrounded by nature (think: babywearing your tiny Bull on a picnic or on a walk through a nature preserve).
