Scorpio Names Captivate and Inspire
Scorpio names are strong and magnetic, as are Scorpios themselves.
Children born from October 23 to November 21 have Scorpio as their sun sign. Scorpios often get a bad rap for their emotional intensity, but it’s the most passionate and loyal signs of the zodiac. Names such as Dillon (“loyal one”) or Zeal would work well for a Scorpio child.
Scorpio is the second of three water signs, so any of the names that mean water could be a great fit for your baby born under the sign of the scorpion. Additional Scorpio symbols that connect to potential baby names include chrysanthemums and azaleas, opal and topaz, snakes and eagles.
If you need a name for your Scorpio son or daughter, take a look at our comprehensive guide to names for Scorpio babies, below.

Seasonal names are among the most common choices recommended for Scorpio babies. A Fall-themed name, such as Hazel, Scarlett, or Sage, would be apt for a baby born in late October or early November, as would Autumn itself. Popular names that mean water include Brooks, Talia, and River.
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac, making Octavia (meaning “eighth”) a lovely choice for a Scorpio daughter. After almost 20 years off the list, Octavia hopped back onto the Top 1000 in 2017 and currently ranks at Number 249.

Opal and Topaz are the name-worthy gems representing October and November, the months during which the Sun is in Scorpio. The month names themselves can also be Scorpio girl names — each were given to more than 40 baby girls in 2022.
Among the famous Libra women with notable names are two young actresses, Kiernan Shipka and Amandla Stenberg.

Naturally, the scorpion is the creature most commonly identified with Scorpio, but the sign is also represented by the eagle. There are many wonderful eagle-related names for boys, including the Germanic Adler and Arnold and the Greek Ezio.
The colors associated with moody and mysterious Scorpio are black and brown, which lead to baby names such as Bruno, Keir, and Doyle.
