Baby names

Ok, so DC2 is another boy- absolutely thrilled but stumped on names! Best unusual/hippy type names please!

For my DS we really struggled with names and ended up picking a very unusual 'surname' name that is closely associated with my DPs family. I really love it and am very happy we chose it.

I found out today that we are having another boy and we are really pleased...apart from the fact I don't like any of the other names we had on our list for DS1 anymore.

I'm quite hippyish and love unusual/nature type names - luckily DS1's name kind of plays to this.

Would love some inspiration!

Thanks!

rowan is my all time favourite boys name.....but as DH hates maybe it's just as well we have a DD!

I also know a Torin, which I think is lovely

Glad you like Merrick, it's the name of a hill. We almost went for Cairn but it sounds a bit like Kay-rin in the local accent where we were living so decided to leave it :) We also liked Blaven which is a very dramatic mountain on Skye.
