Virgo: Naming a Baby With a Cancer Partner

Virgo, when naming a baby with a Cancer partner, you must find the balance between head and heart. You are compelled by logic, while Cancer is driven by their emotions. While this can lead to some miscommunication during the process, you can be sure that the name you ultimately land on will be practical and personal.

You may have difficulty empathizing with your partner’s decision-making strategies — and vice versa. Cancer may feel that you are rigidly sticking to your rules, while you may not understand their emotional attachment to certain names. However, if you communicate effectively, you can show Cancer the merits of your baby name rubric, and they can help you tune into your emotional responses.

Both you and your partner want the baby name process to be a joint effort and The Name to be one that represents each parent equally. Tradition and family are important themes in each of your lives, so look to your family trees and discuss the practices you wish to continue as a starting point.
