We especially love the name Rayan
Aquarians are known for being wise intellectuals, so names that mean wise, such as Sophia and Cato, would make an excellent choice. Of course, there are many notable Aquarius namesakes that could inspire an Aquarian baby name, from Abraham Lincoln and Clark Gable to Jackson Pollock and Bob Marley. Aquarius baby names also relate to both water—Aquarius is the water bearer of the zodiac—and air, since Aquarius is technically an air sign. Names that mean water would be fitting, as would names related to the wind or sky along with names that mean air. If you are expecting an Aquarius baby, these names are worth a look.
