Naturally, a kid with these lovely characteristics needs a name to match. And for that you can take inspiration from these 31 Pisces-inspired baby names for your aquatic wonder.
By digging into the history and meanings of names, the following are suggestions that reflect the best parts of Pisces which include being deeply intelligent people with a strong sense of right and wrong, who have active imaginations and operate by a generous “live and let live” policy, per Horoscope.com. Amiable people, Pisces are also considered sensitive, generous, and naturally kind. Not to mention there’s that whole water sign to think about. The water connection also offers an abundance of great name options, from the obvious to the fascinating. Another pro tip if you’re feeling flummoxed about how to name your Pisces baby is to look back to literature for great characters who have operated within water. Horatio Hornblower, anyone?

River
Another name that reflects water, River is a gender neutral option for Pisces babies.
Juliet
Juliet doesn’t just bring to mind Shakespeare’s famous Romeo & Juliet. The English name Juliet means youthful, per BabyNames.com. With Pisces “live and let live” attitude, Juliet conveys a Pisces baby’s young approach.
Brooks
If you’re looking to tap into Pisces water symbol literally, then Brooks, which derives from Olde English “bróc,” or one who dwells by a brook,” per ohbabynames.com, is just the ticket.

In Greek Clio means glory, according to NameBerry, and isn’t that a glorious name for your water baby?
Fern
How perfect is this? Fern means “The wing of comfort,” and is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word fearn, which means a wing, per MamaNatural.com. Pisces are known for their compassionate hearts — the ultimate form of comfort.

In Greek, Nerissa means of the sea, according to NameBerry. WIth their free-flowing approach to life, this name is ideal for Pisces signs.
Meryl
Meryl might seem inseparable from award-winning actress Meryl Streep, but as it turns out it predates her rise to fame and comes from the Celtic word for bright sea, per BabyNameWizard.com.
Salome
Salome is the female name derived from the Hebrew word for peace, Shalom, BehindtheName.com reports. Generally considered peacemakers, Pisces babies would be well served by the name Salome.

Sage
Wise and knowing, that’s what Sage means, says NameBerry. For a kid who seems to be wise beyond their years, this is the perfect name.
Murdoch
To understand the name Murdoch, you have to look back into history at the pairing of two Gaelic personal names: “Muire(adh)ach, a derivative of muir 'sea', and Murchadh or ‘sea battler,’” according to Ancestry.com. If that’s not a great story for a Pisces kid to tell, we don’t know what is.
Triton
You remember King Triton from The Little Mermaid. He was the god of the sea in Greek mythology. So it might make sense as a name for your little waterbaby.
Lachan

Rumi
NameBerry says that Rumi is a girl's name of Japanese origin meaning "beauty, flow, lapis lazuli.” A little Pisces girl might just be perfectly defined by that description.
