Names for Babies born in LEO

♌️ July 23rd – August 22nd

So you’re expecting a Leo baby? Get ready to Rock ‘N Roll! The Leo child loves to shine. In fact, there are many celebrities, actors and actresses born under this sun sign (see below).

Leo is the second fire sign in the Zodiac and has the same outgoing and courageous nature of Aries, but with a bit more diplomacy as they love to be adored. Leo children tend to be outgoing and crave to be the center of attention. They’re also very creative and love to entertain others.

Leo kids thrive with a lot of love, attention, and affirmation, but it will be important to help them understand that the world does not and cannot revolve around them. Of course this applies to all children, but encouraging them to know how to consider others, how to take constructive criticism, and how to share the spotlight will help to stabilize the Leo child’s ability to share their joyful spirit with the world.

Surround your Leo child with beauty and theatre and many creative activities. Leo children love to be stimulated, love a good story, and are drawn to drama! Allowing them to enjoy that aspect of life while helping them to be grounded in core values will help stabilize them. Leo children can be inspired to help and to lead if the spirit of virtue is instilled in their passionate hearts. Encourage them to express themselves through art, dance, drama, and leadership.
