Buckle up, mama. Your little ram (due somewhere between March 20 and April 19) may exhibit a strong sense of leadership, individuality and an intense need to be in charge. But before (s)he’s big enough to tell you what to do, (s)he’ll need a name. Here are some ideas for your fierce, fearless boss baby.

Chase
For a boy
Fearlessness is one of this fire sign’s standout characteristics. Just a warning though: If you give him a name that means “fearless hunter,” it’s a safe bet you’ll be doing lots of chasing yourself.

Neci
For a girl
In Latin it means “intense and fiery”—an Aries moniker par excellence. Plus, a name this unusual will appeal to her individualism as she grows up.

Leo
For a boy
Latin for “lion,” German for “brave people,” Hollywood for “DiCaprio,” this fail-safe classic was made for your outspoken guy with the mighty roar.

Emmy
For a girl
In Latin, it roughly translates to “industrious rival”—perfect for your fiercely competitive little leader of the pack.

Gilen
For a boy
Not surprisingly, the star sign symbolized by a ram has a tendency to be stubborn. But in a kid, perseverance is a prize. Go with Gilen—or Gil for short—which translates to “determined protector” in the Basque region of Spain.

Loli
For a girl
Show us an Aries who’s a wallflower, and we’ll need to check their birth certificate. People born under this sign are known to be dynamic and outgoing (introverts need not apply). A kid this charismatic needs a name this cute; in India it literally means “charming.”

Wyatt
For a boy or girl
Meaning “hardy, brave and strong,” it’s now universally unisex thanks to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s creative baby naming.

Audrey
For a girl
In keeping with Aries’ signature sense of self-belief, this one means “noble strength” and most likely requires a closet full of LBDs.

Griffin
For a boy
Aries are competitive, with an intense desire to be number one. With a name that means “strong lord,” he’ll rule over his kingdom with an adorable little fist (watch out, siblings).

Everett
For a boy or girl
Aries kids are especially high energy (read: will need to play outside for a minimum of four hours a day). So it can be your family in-joke that this elegant sounding name—for a boy or a girl—means “wild boar” (as well as “strong”).

Avery
For a girl
For all their bluster, Aries are famously warm, generous and loving. This name, meaning “wise counselor” and “ruling with elf wisdom” has big sister written all over it.

Thaddeus
For a boy
Meaning “courageous” in Greek, it’s an out-of-the-box option if you’re eyeing Teddy as a nickname.
