Virgo: Naming a Baby With a Capricorn Partner

Virgo, you and Capricorn have higher name standards than anyone else. Not only does it have to suit your child at any age — you’re naming a future adult, after all — but it must be appropriate for a CEO, politician, or any other dream job you envision your child holding. Add that to preferences for honor names, straightforward pronunciation, and every other practical consideration, and you have a laundry list of requirements to meet.

Suffice to say, you two take this job seriously. When the time comes to think of names, you and your partner get down to business immediately. Your spreadsheets and five-point ranking scale are great, but keep in mind that there may not be one name that satisfies all your criteria.

You and your Capricorn partner can get competitive at times, which can be used as motivation to search for names. But each of you wants to be the one to come up with The Name, and this competitiveness can lead to petty vetoes. If your partner discovers the perfect name, swallow your pride and celebrate your mutual success.

We doubt we need to tell you this, but discuss your benchmarks, requirements, and preferences with your partner before you start the name search. Identify what you must have in a name, versus what would be nice to have, and keep an open mind to all the names you come across.
