What are the signs of May?
The star signs of May are Taurus and Gemini. Taurus is believed to be a robust and sturdy earth sign, whereas Gemini is known to be a flexible, clever air sign. Baby names embracing these signs have an array of meanings; they can mean hardworking, stubborn, intelligent, energetic, and dedicated, among many others. The Taurus sign is denoted by a bull, giving it the strong-willed nature that will make parents as proud as they will be frustrated! Gemini, however, is singled out for its twin meaning. If baby is bound to be a twin or simply set up for a life of multiple interests and moving where the wind takes them, then a May baby name could be a choice written in the stars.
What makes a good May name?
May baby names are gorgeous for their springtime connotations and astrological beliefs. Taking stock of the thriving, blooming, and buzzing world around you and baby both can be made easier with a May baby name. You can name baby for your favorite season or, more specifically, your favorite flower. The beautiful thing about May baby names is that they can be inspired by cultures all over the world. If you’re hoping to highlight the branches of baby’s Japanese, Norse, or French—or several other cultures—family tree, then a May baby name will have them thriving in no time.
What grows in May?
If your little one is born in May, then you’re one of the lucky parents that can use a birth month as an excuse to eat more vegetables! May babies can claim the power of harvest and fancy themselves like Demeter with one of these names—making your life that much easier as they grow! May harvests include yummy, hardy vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. And the planting encouraged for this time of year are the delectable treats of nature like sweetcorn, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes. But if your growth focus is more concerned with the floral side of things, amaryllis, peonies, irises, lilacs, magnolias, and heather all thrive during the colorful springtime. Whether you’ll be feeding baby straight from the garden or simply convincing them they have a harvest superpower each year, a May baby name will remind them of their growth opportunities every day.
