Libra Baby
Libra’s can be hard to pin down as they come across contradictive due to their diplomatic nature.
A Libra will prioritize their core values on equality, justice and harmony. In order to keep the peace around them they try to avoid conflict at all cost and even tend to avoid their true feelings all together.
Libra’s are also social butterflies who tend to thrive in union. Due of this, they tend to shapeshift their energies to match those around them to avoid loneliness.
One thing is for certain, a Libra loves love! Venus, the ruling planet of the Libra zodiac raises the twin flame energy in romance and relations. They lead life with love. It’s no wonder Libra season is the most popular time for weddings.
Venus is also the ruler of beauty and the arts. This air sign loves the finer things in life. They live a life of luxury with high regards to their appearance inside and out.
These names find the balance between fitting in with the trends and making a bold statement. From the top of the charts to the practically unheard of, we have a name to fit all your needs.
If you’re expecting a baby this Libra season (September 23-October22) consider one of these names inspired by their zodiac.
The Ruling Planet
Austrina

Venus is a planet with many valleys. One of those valleys is named Austrina Vallis. Austrina is the Latvian goddess of sunrises named after Baltic mythology.
Danica
Origin: Slavic - Meaning: Moring Star
The planet Venus reflects on the suns light making it known as the brightest “star” in the sky. While Venus is not an actual star it does look like one to the naked eye. Venus is the first to appear when the sun sets and the last to disappear as the sun rises giving it the dueling nicknames the “evening star” and the “morning star”.
Nerine

All for Love
Lennon

Beatles co-founder John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 under the Libra zodiac. His surname is of Irish decent meaning ‘lover’ which is very fitting for a Libra baby considering Venus is the ruling planet for love in astrology. This name is currently more popular with girls, however this name is gender neutral. As of 2020 Lennon ranks 299 for girls and 688 for boys.
Visola
Origin: Uzbek - Meaning: Lovers Union
In tarot, the lovers card represents union and unconditional love. With Libra being the sign ruled by love I felt this name set the love flame ablaze.
Standing for Equality
Atalanta
Origin: Greek - Meaning: Equal in Weight, Balanced Scale
Atalanta was a skilled huntress in Greek mythology who refused to marry anyone who could not beat her in a foot race. The one extra ‘a’ takes this from place name to refined romance.
Hannah
Origin: Hebrew - Meaning: Grace
Libra’s are quick to fight for equality, justice and peace. There’s no better choice than a peaceful palindrome. The seamless flow of all the letters forward and backwards with an effortless elegance. Add a little grace in the equation and Hannah becomes a no brainer when representing all the traits of a Libra.
Isaeus
Origin: Greek - Meaning: Equality
Born by an Attic orator from the 4th century BC this knowledgeable name will fit the modern day academic scholar. With Isaac and Isaiah toping todays leader boards and stunning ‘S’ endings sweeping the nation it’s clear Isaeus is the underdog worth considering.
Justice Is Served
Inanna
Origin: Sumerian - Meaning: Lady of the Heavens
Another name that checks off all the Libra qualities is Inanna. The ancient Mesopotamian goddess of love, fertility, war, justice, beauty, and political power. An offbeat choice from mythology that fits the bill next to Julianna and Ines.

This surname turned first name has a background in many different origins. Lamont originated in Scotland as Clan Lamont. Derived from the medieval personal name Lagman and from Old Norse, Logmaor. In other cases it originated from France as LaMont as a habitational place name. Whichever origin you choice, Lamont will grow up to be the lawyer who fights for what’s right.

The name of an Old Testament king that offers some smooth nicknames. Zed, Zeke and Kai to name a few.
Zuzen
Origin: Basque - Meaning: Justice
This traditional Basque name looks like it could roll with the modern day trends. Pronounced just like Susan, Zuzen could make for an out of this world honorable if Lily is too common for your taste.
Blessed by Beauty
Adonia
Origin: Greek - Meaning: Beautiful Lady
The female form of Adonis, Adonia depicts the Libra’s love for beauty and all things luxurious.
Beau
Origin: French - Meaning: Handsome

Lets Keep the Peace
Shiloh
Origin: Hebrew - Meaning: Tranquil

Libra Specifics
Abril
Origin: Latin, Portuguese, Spanish - Meaning: April, To Open
Wait, isn’t Libra season in September and October? Yes, here in the Northern hemisphere it is, but in the Southern hemisphere it’s the opposite. While the signs stay the same the seasons do change. So when it’s October here, it is April in the south. Another cool fact is that if you rearrange the letters of Abril, it does spell Libra.
Rafe
Origin: English - Meaning: Wolf Counsel
All zodiac signs have symbolic elements, flowers and even planets but did you knw they also have symbolic spirit animals? That’s right. The Libra’s spirit animal happens to be the gray wolf. Just like the star sign, gray wolves are loyal creatures who thrive in packs.
Rhodes
Origin: English - Meaning: Where Roses Grow
A Libra will fall head over heels in love with love especially if you gift them a bouquet of roses. As roses symbolize all things love and romance it’s clear as to why they are the main flowers to rule this sign. Actress Emma Roberts choose this name for her baby boy in December of 2020 as a nod to her middle name Rose and it’s been trending ever since. While this name might make you think of the state Rhode Island that may not be a bad thing considering National Rhode Island Day falls in the middle of Libra Season on October 5th.
Selah
Origin: Hebrew - Meaning: To Praise, To Pause and reflect on What’s Been Said
We choose Selah as the optimal nickname for Methuselah. The Methuselah star is a part of the constellation Libra, adjacent with Ophiuchus. It is estimated to be 13.5 billion years old making it known as the oldest star in the galaxy. Methuselah means “death of swords”. In the Minor Arcana Tarot, the element air is associated with swords.
Truman
Origin: English - Meaning: Loyal One
Libra’s value loyalty and honesty in all their relationships so we needed a name that fit those qualities to a T. Truthful Truman is the one. American novelist Truman Capote whom wrote Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a Libra baby born September 30, 1924.
Zephyr
Origin: Greek - Meaning: West Wind
What list wouldn’t be complete without an element inspired name? Depending on your personal birth chart this air sign might be in one of the houses located in the western hemisphere of your astrological natal chart.
