Everyone
has an opinion on baby names, asked for or not. Some parents stick to tradition, some just wait for something to feel right, and plenty borrow a bit of inspiration from astrology along the way, which is honestly fair enough. Aries barges in without hesitation, Libra wants the peace kept at all costs and Pisces lives half in its own head. If a name with a bit of that built in appeals to you, this list should help.
