Each list leans on what its sign is known for. Fire signs get names with speed and spark, earth signs get cosy, edible and outdoorsy ones, air signs get chatty and curious ones, and water signs get dreamy, moonlit ones. Ruling planets and sign symbols sneak in too: Mars for Aries, the Moon for Cancer, Neptune for Pisces.

Questions
Should I name my pet after their zodiac sign?
Only if it makes you smile. A sign-inspired name is a fun nod to their stars, but the best name is one you'll enjoy calling across the park or down the hallway for years.
Which sign is my new puppy or kitten?
It comes from their birthday, or from the day they come home if nobody knows it. Pop the date into the pet zodiac sign calculator and you'll have it in seconds.
Are these names for boys or girls?
Both. Every name is marked as better for a boy, a girl or either, and the filter keeps the either names in both lists.
Why are the dog and cat lists different?
Dogs and cats show the same sign very differently: a Leo dog plays to the crowd, a Leo cat waits to be admired. The names follow suit, so the cat lists lean a little more mysterious.
