Zodiac Names?

So my newest book revolves around the lives of the personification of the 12 Western Zodiacs. However, since they are instead the descendants of the original Zodiacs, I can’t just name them [name_m]Aries[/name_m], [name_f]Libra[/name_f], etc. I need some new names, preferably relating to the Zodiac in some way. Unfortunately I’m drawing a blank. The only character I’ve managed to name is Makatza, the [name_m]Leo[/name_m] descendant. Makatza means wild, and as the symbol of [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is a lion, I feel this fits her.

So can I get some help? I’ll drop the Zodiacs’ genders below, just in case it helps.

Aries- Male.

Taurus- Male

Gemini- Male

Cancer- Female

Virgo- Female

Libra- Female

Scorpio- Male

Sagittarius- Male

Capricorn- Agender/Nonbinary

Aquarius- Female

Pisces- Female

If you can help me at all, I’m really grateful!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] this! So last year, I did Zodiac themed signatures for each of the signs and I saved my combos. Some names have meanings related to the sign (animal, element, color, personality, ruling planet), some are related to the month or season (gemstones, flowers), and some are stars within the constellations. I’ll post my combos for each but both first and middle names were part of the theme so either would work. I also included some from the combos of the opposite gender if I think they’re unisex. Hopefully this helps!

A lot of them came from old Nameberry blog posts about the Zodiacs so I suggest checking those out if you want more ideas!

[name_m]Aries[/name_m]- [name_m]Jason[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], [name_u]Fox[/name_u] [name_m]Ares[/name_m], [name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_u]Fallon[/name_u]
(also included [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] in a girl combo)

[name_m]Taurus[/name_m]- [name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Tor[/name_m], [name_m]Fintan[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_m]Odran[/name_m] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]

[name_u]Gemini[/name_u]- [name_m]Castor[/name_m] [name_u]Blaine[/name_u], [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_u]Adventure[/name_u], [name_u]Mercury[/name_u] [name_u]Tate[/name_u]

Cancer- [name_f]Talia[/name_f] [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Solstice[/name_u], [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f]
(also had [name_u]True[/name_u] in a boy combo)

Virgo- [name_f]Freyja[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Astraea[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u], Líadan [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
(also had [name_u]Grey[/name_u] and [name_f]Aster[/name_f] in boy combos)

[name_f]Libra[/name_f]- Adalet [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_u]Azure[/name_u] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u]
(also had [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_u]Linden[/name_u], and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] in boy combos)

[name_m]Scorpio[/name_m]- [name_m]Bruno[/name_m] [name_m]Obsidian[/name_m], [name_u]Hallow[/name_u] [name_m]Septimus[/name_m], [name_m]Thorell[/name_m] [name_u]Burgundy[/name_u]
(this was my favorite set of combos! Also had [name_f]Evening[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], and [name_f]Topaz[/name_f] in the girl combos)

Sagittarius- [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_u]Nuri[/name_u], Tyrian [name_u]Puck[/name_u], [name_m]Theon[/name_m] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
(also had [name_u]Arrow[/name_u], [name_u]Ember[/name_u], and [name_f]Callisto[/name_f] in girl combos)

Capricorn- [name_u]Aja[/name_u] [name_u]January[/name_u], [name_u]Everest[/name_u] [name_m]Giles[/name_m], [name_u]Kaj[/name_u] [name_m]Decimus[/name_m]
(first was a girl combo, last 2 were boys, but I think they sound unisex. [name_u]Kaj[/name_u] is pn. like [name_u]Kai[/name_u] but is unrelated to the Hawaiian name)

[name_f]Aquarius[/name_f]- Eteri [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Aella[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] Tuuli

(also had [name_u]Teagan[/name_u], [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] in boy combos)

Some of the lists have links to blog posts in the description! Those were my first source for names before looking up colors, traits, ruling planets, etc. and taking to Behind the Name to find names with those meanings.

Wow, this helps me so much! Thank you!
I actually Love quite a few of these names, and many fit the characters perfectly! I’m not 100% sure on all of them, but Sagittarius is now named [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] and [name_u]Gemini[/name_u] [name_m]Castor[/name_m]. Researching the meaning behind these names is super interesting too. Seriously, this is incredibly helpful. Thanks again!
