There's a sea of stars overhead, and if we stare up at them for long enough, we might begin to see shapes form before our eyes. With so many stars clustered so closely together (or so they appear to us), we can find pretty much any shape up there - like tea cups, dragons and Ferraris. If we squint our eyes in just the right way and our gazes are fixed in the right region of the sky, we might even find our very own astrological symbols up there.
Some people are more into astrology than others, for sure. But, despite how stubbornly an individual might deny it, everyone knows their sign. That's only natural, but here's something that isn't quite as natural: a quiz that guesses which sign people belong to. It's hard to believe, but it's true!
Of course, such an intricate machine can't operate without fuel. Before we reveal everyone's sign, we'll need a bit of input first, and we'll go about this in the form of a little game. What follows here are several famous baby names that might serve as some inspiration for a future newcomer. Play pick or pass with these, and we'll see if we can figure out everyone's sign!
Pick or Pass on Justin
Justin might be just the right fit for a future baby boy. Naming him Justin might not guarantee him a future as a pop sensation like Justin Bieber, but it definitely wouldn't hurt his chances. Is it worth a pick, or do we pass it up?
Pick or Pass on Kim
Kim Kardashian is definitely not the first woman to be named Kim, but one could argue that she's taken the name much further than the average Kim. At any rate, the name is short, sweet, and might be a perfect fit for a baby girl.
Pick or Pass on Elvis
At some point in history, a baby boy named Elvis came to this world. Eventually, he would evolve into a grown man named Elvis who would redefine popular music forever. Who's to say the exact same thing can't happen again?
Pick or Pass on Audrey
This one is a classic pick, though many parents still land on it today. Of course, Audrey also happens to be the name of one of Hollywood's most legendary actresses. Maybe there's a future Academy Award winner in the family.
Pick or Pass on Brad
Actor Brad Pitt is one of Hollywood's brightest stars, with a smile that can light up the world at midnight. Some of us are so engrossed in Pitt's fandom, we might even consider naming a future baby boy after him. Should we?
Pick or Pass on Angelina
There's a ton of hype surrounding Angelina Jolie, but a single sitting of one of her movies is enough to assure that she's worth all the talk. She's a talented actress, for sure, and her name might be a great idea for a future baby girl.
Pick or Pass on Marshall
Marshall Mathers (AKA Eminem) can spit hot fire on the mic, and he's been making waves in the rap industry for decades now. In naming a kid Marshall, parents might hear their boy's first verse at a surprisingly early age.
Pick or Pass on Blue Ivy
Most of the names on this list had to work their way up to their current levels of fame - Blue Ivy, meanwhile, was born into the world with millions of eyes upon here. Is this unique name the right fit for the future baby?
Pick or Pass on Romeo
Romeo is a classic name, fit for a true... well, Romeo. The future baby boy might end up being a heartbreaker, but eventually, he'll run into his Juliet. Of course, all of that might also happen with any other name. Pick or pass?
Pick or Pass on Beyonce
The Beyonce we all know and love sings for millions of people all over the world, with tens of thousands of them cramming into arenas to hear her. Who knows - maybe one day, she'll be singing on stage with a girl that shares her name.
Pick or Pass on Cristiano
Cristiano Ronaldo can manipulate a soccer ball to glorious, almost impossible things. Other players dream of having his talents, and the world tunes in regularly to watch his magic on the field. Might there be a future soccer pro in the family?
Pick or Pass on Marilyn
Let's take a walk down memory lane, specifically to the era where Marilyn Monroe was the empress of pop culture. Even after she's gone, she still somehow carries that title. This is mostly due to her personality, but her name also plays a part.
Pick or Pass on Snoop
Snoop Dogg is one of the world's most prolific rappers, and his name is usually thought to be one used for entertainment purposes only. But really, there's nothing stopping parents from naming their boy Snoop. How cool would that be?
Pick or Pass on Ariana
Ariana Grande is a pop mogul that enjoys a regular spot among today's top hits. Some say she has the voice of an angel, others say no one sings quite like her. Still others love her so much, they honor her legacy with their daughter's name.
Pick or Pass on Bono
Lead singers of legendary rock bands tend to be unimaginably famous, but somehow, none of them seem to reach the level U2's Bono sits on. He has a great name, for sure, and it might be the ideal one for a baby on the way.
Pick or Pass on Britney
The essence of Britney Spears has come blasting into this quiz in the form of a genie in a bottle. We might also sense the essence of something else - a future her, coming soon in the form of a baby girl. Should we pick Britney?
Pick or Pass on Tiger
As far as sports legends go, Tiger Woods holds a throne in the highest echelon. He's taken golf to levels it otherwise never would have reached, but there's always room for improvement. Could a future Tiger possibly take golf further?
Pick or Pass on Coco
Business woman and French fashion designer Coco Chanel has revolutionized her field, and her perfume fragrance still permeates the air of our current time. Coco also happens to be a generally nice, different name for a little girl.
Pick or Pass on Will
There are too many famous Wills out there to name, but here's a few: Will Ferrell, William Shatner and William Shakespeare. With a roster like that, there's little reason not to name a future baby boy Will. Should we go for it?
Pick or Pass on Paris
She isn't talked about much these days, but there was a time when Paris Hilton reigned over the seas of pop culture. She's a certain brand of person, but let's keep in mind that there are a number of different ways a future Paris can turn out.
Pick or Pass on Elon
Elon Musk is the most prolific genius revolutionizing the world of today for a better future tomorrow. It's possible that all the good work he's doing will only be improved by another Elon in the future. Is this a cool name or what?
Pick or Pass on Rihanna
Songbird Rihanna is one of the most unique artists on the pop charts, and her name is pretty unique, too. She's owned her namesake up until this point, but who's to say there's not another pop star named Rihanna set to take over the world anew?
Pick or Pass on Bruce
Bruce Springsteen has spent a decorated career gifting the world his many anthems, each of them fitting a number of scenarios. We can all relate to at least one of Bruce's songs, and some of us might even name a boy after him.
Pick or Pass on Jennifer
Jennifer is another famous name that has way too many representatives, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Love Hewitt being a few. Of course, there's always room for a new Jennifer to join the roster.
Pick or Pass on Drake
There's only one earth shattering Drake that we currently know of, and he occupies the highest peak of Toronto, keeping a watchful eye over the citizens of his home city. Is Drake a good name for a baby boy, or should we pass this one up?
Pick or Pass on Julia
Julia Roberts, the one and only Pretty Woman, might not be the sole carrier of that title for long - not if there's another Julia on her way to steal the limelight from her. Is Julia worth considering as a name for a future baby girl?
Pick or Pass on Jaden
Jaden is one of the original famous babies, though he's all grown up now and set to follow in his father's footsteps. It's a nice sounding name, for sure, and it might be the perfect fit for a future newcomer. Should we pick this one?
Pick or Pass on Willow
Here's another one of WIll Smith's progeny, and she's equally as prolific as her brother. She can sing, dance and act, and something tells us that her talents will only keep blossoming as she grows older. Is Willow the name to pick?
Pick or Pass on Elton
Elton John has been providing a soundtrack to our most emotion filled moments for several decades, and his legacy is great enough for us to think that his songs will be played forever. Elton is a fine name for a baby boy, isn't it?
Pick or Pass on Celine
Aside from being the North Star of the Vegas performance strip, Celine Dion happens to be one of the greatest pop singers of all time, and she certainly holds a unique place in the genre. Should we go with Celine, or do we pass?
Pick or Pass on Leonardo
Some say that Leonardo DiCaprio is the best actor working today, though the Academy certainly doesn't seem to be on that page... regardless of how many Oscars Leo has (or doesn't have), his name has a cool ring to it.
Pick or Pass on Demi
Demi Moore was once at the top of the A-list, being a heavily sought after leading lady. She's far from as active now as she once was, but at least we have her vault of movies to look back on. Is Demi the name to pick for a baby girl?
Pick or Pass on Darwin
Humanity once thought the world worked a certain way, but then Charles Darwin came along to show us all how wrong we were. His discoveries on the topic of evolution were great and vast, but maybe another, greater Darwin is still to come.
Pick or Pass on Amelia
Amelia Earhart is famous for being the first woman to take to the skies, in an airplane of course. As mobile as she was in the air, Amelia couldn't fly without the help of technology, but maybe a baby girl who shares her name will one day.
Pick or Pass on Sylvester
Sylvester Stallone's story is unique in Hollywood lore. After struggling to make ends meet for a number of years, he hit it big with a little script called Rocky some decades back. Perhaps the same future awaits a future Sylvester.
Pick or Pass on Enya
We don't know much, but we do know that there's no voice in the physical universe quite as angelic as the one belonging to Enya. She can sing a warring world into peace, though the task might be helped with some harmonies from another, smaller Enya.
Pick or Pass on Einstein
If ever there was a name that's synonymous with the word "genius", it might just be Einstein's. His contributions to the field of science can not be overlooked, though a smaller Einstein might just manage to take his work even further.
Pick or Pass on Madonna
We all know about Madonna, the famous starlet whose career blossomed in the 80's but has still held her staying power in later decades. She doesn't have a patent on her name, so all parents are free to choose it for their baby girls.
Pick or Pass on Plato
In Ancient Greek times, Plato was an extremely well known thinker, his ideas so popular that we still frequently refer to them to this day. It might be an ancient name, but we happen to think it's due for a comeback. Pick or pass?
Pick or Pass on Katherine
Katherine Hepburn comes to us in spirit from the vault of Hollywood's past, and she's here to put forward her name as a suggestion for a certain baby girl. The name has been around for a while, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Pick or Pass on Stephen
Stephen King has the singular ability to write classic, bestselling novels at a nigh impossible rate. As far as we know, he's the only one capable of producing that sort of output, but maybe another Stephen will come along who will dethrone him.
Pick or Pass on Florence
As a singer, Florence Welch is capable of hitting a mind boggling range, and we certainly respect her for that. Her songwriting is also pretty fantastic, and we imagine that some of her fans have thought of naming a girl after her.
Pick or Pass on Prince
Progeny of none other than Michael Jackson himself, Prince is definitely an interesting choice for a baby boy's name. Of course, this name also honors the legacy of the artist formerly (or currently?) known as Prince, so this name is a win-win.
Pick or Pass on Suri
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' baby girl comes riding a lullaby into this quiz - at least, her name is here with us, but the actual young celeb isn't. Who knows - maybe she'll come to visit a future Suri should her parents choose that as the name.
Pick or Pass on Lance
Lance Bass might have been a single piece of the puzzle that was NSYNC, but he'll always be a completely, shining star in his own right to us. Naming a baby boy Lance wouldn't guarantee Bass' vocal power being transmitted to him, but it wouldn't hurt the chances.
Pick or Pass on Shakira
In the world of Latin music, Shakira reigns supreme as the genre's eternal queen, and that's a rank she'll probably always hold. Though we like to imagine that the only one capable of dethroning her is a future singer named Shakira. Will the prophecy be realized?
Pick or Pass on Sacha
Sacha Baron Cohen pioneered his own brand of humor with films like Borat and Bruno. It's a bit of a risky comedic style, for sure, but the payoff is tremendous. As a name, Sacha is definitely a nice change of pace for a baby boy.
Pick or Pass on Kylie
The world just can't seem to get Kylie Minogue out of its head, even though a number of years have passed since her magnum opus track was released. Maybe it's time to honor the singer fully by naming a kid after her.
Pick or Pass on David
David Bowie, David Guetta, David Hasselhoff - these are only a few of the famous Davids we all know and love, though something tells us there might be another joining their rank in the future. Is David worth picking, or is this a pass?
Pick or Pass on Eliza
Eliza Dushku's broke through to the world at large from her good work in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though she's managed to maintain her career quite decently after the series wrapped. As a name, with think Eliza is a solid choice.
