Baby Names and Astrology - Choosing a Name for Cancerian Babies

Going with the premise that a name can be crucial in influencing a child's character and life pattern, a name that "balances" the traits of his or her sun sign is likely to enhance their positive side and create beneficial energy around them. If a baby is due between 22 June and 23 July he or she is likely to be a Cancerian.

Cancerians are sensitive, sometimes moody and deeply emotional. Loving and loyal, Cancerians can also show a strongly tenacious side. Family and close relationships will always be important and they are protective towards those they love.

It's important to them to feel needed. Despite their perceptive and insightful nature, Cancerian's trust must be earned. They have a strong sense of the past and have long memories. Names chosen for this baby may be selected to enhance his/her positive qualities or balance the less attractive side of their Cancerian nature.
