As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces have a unique perspective; they’ve absorbed all the lessons from the other signs, including the highs and lows. This makes them super empathetic, compassionate, and even a little psychic. But here’s the thing: Pisces are also totally torn between reality and fantasy. Their symbol — two fish swimming in opposite directions — is basically a visual representation of their inner struggle.
Pisces represents a blend of intuition, creativity, and emotional depth. Humane, imaginative, and with artistic flair to spare, Pisces babies are truly special – and these Pisces names are just as unique. From the mystical to the maritime, this article explores the most captivating Pisces names to inspire your baby-naming journey. Whether you’re looking for a classic choice or something more unique for the zodiac’s most dreamy sign, these names are sure to make a splash.
Dylan

Some theories suggest that Dylan’s character may be linked to an ancient Celtic sea god. Either way, it’s a perfect Pisces name — and though it was traditionally used for males, it’s a great unisex pick these days.
Lev

Beckett
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Beckett is a surname that comes from the Old English word bekke, meaning “stream.” In English (as in, a word used in the country of England), a stream is still called a “beck” — which makes this a water name befitting any Pisces. It also has a soulful literary feel, thanks to associations with Nobel Prize-winning Irish author Samuel Beckett.
Mina
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Mina comes from the Sanskrit element mīna, meaning — very fittingly — “fish.” It’s also the name of a Hindu zodiac sign, which makes it doubly appropriate.
Thaddeus
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Thaddeus comes from the Greek form of the ancient Aramaic name Taddai, which itself is derived from the Aramaic word tad, meaning “heart.” Like Lev, it’s a nod to the Piscean trait of deep emotion. And if Thaddeus feels a little too formal, it has a whole host of cute nicknames like Thad, Tad, Ted, or Teddy.
Kai

Hugo
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Hugo is derived from the Old High German word hugu, meaning “spirit.” Pisceans are known for being deeply spiritually-connected beings —and as a bonus, Hugo fits neatly into the trend of vintage “grandpa” names that are so hot right now.
Laine
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI When you first look at Laine, you might think it’s a shortened version of the name Elaine, which means “torch.” However, when you pronounce it LIE-neh, it’s the Estonian word for “wave” — and a unique option for your Piscean princess.
Zola
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Whether you’re talking about the serene and tranquil nature associated with Pisceans, or the peaceful waters symbolized by their sign, you can’t get a better Pisces name than Zola, which originates in the Xhosa language and means “calm.”
Fisher

Amethyst
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI The amethyst is the birthstone for February babies, but is pertinent to all Pisces because it’s associated with intuition and spiritual connection. For March babies, the birthstone is aquamarine — which could also make for a distinctive Pisces name.
Harmony
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Pisceans are known for their creative abilities, so we love Harmony as a Pisces name! Not only is it a nod to those abilities and artistries, but it also means peacefulness and tranquility, which are also Pisces traits.
Jupiter
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI In astrology, Jupiter is the traditional ruling planet of Pisces. It represents expansion, growth, abundance, philosophy, spirituality, and higher education; and an undeniably optimistic energy. And if you’re looking for a unique Pisces name, you’ve found it!
Naia
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Naia is another beautiful water name — because in the Basque language, it means “wave” or “sea foam.”
Lily
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI The lily — specifically, the water lily — is Pisces’ birth flower, chosen for its symbolic associations with the Piscean traits of calmness, intuition, compassion, and creativity.
Aisling
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Aisling is a modern Irish name that means “dream” — and since Pisces is the dreamiest sign in the zodiac, it’s a perfect Pisces name! In traditional Irish pronunciation, it’s closer to ASH-len, so if you want to ensure proper pronunciation, you could spell it Ashlyn.
Kavi
Image Credit: SheKnows/Created with AI Another gender-neutral gem, Kavi means “poet” in Sanskrit — a nod to Pisces’ creative and emotional nature.
