Knowledge of a Virgo baby’s tendency towards certain personality traits can help parents choose an appropriate name that may suit their child. The typical Virgo is responsible, meticulous and intelligent and astrology can help to emphasise their positive qualities.
The ruling planet for Virgo is Mercury and lucky stone is sapphire.

Famous Virgos include Mother Teresa, Michael Jackson, Stephen King and Queen Elizabeth I.

Many Virgo children love books as well as reading and writing, their writing is usually legible and neat with schoolwork being painstakingly researched and presented. Often hardworking, they may seem to be a "teacher's pet," but actually, many kids born under this sign of the zodiac just love to keep busy. This sign is often associated with shyness; this may be mistaken for aloofness, so parents may find it helpful to encourage socialisation as early as possible so they can make friends. Many Virgo children like a quiet space of their own to neatly
