75 Cancer zodiac baby names for June & July babies

The tides are turning as we say goodbye to Gemini season and swim into Cancer season from June 21 to July 22. The fourth sign in the zodiac, Cancers are one with the sea and moon (their ruler is the moon and element is water). July babies and others with birthdays during this time are described as tenacious, imaginative, extremely loyal and sympathetic, and they’re known for having a big heart.

While Cancers are big on socializing and meaningful relationships, they have a harder time opening up to others. Fear not, this doesn’t mean they think you’re untrustworthy. Once they do feel comfortable letting down their walls, you’ll have a loyal, steadfast friend for life.

Cancer zodiac names are inspired by the star sign’s elements, colors, traits and even famous celebrities whose birthdays fall in this range. Zodiac sign names are meaningful and beautiful. Find your baby name inspo below!
