Strong/Nature boys names

Anyone have suggestions for nature names for boys that aren't hippyish?

I work outside a lot, I want names that are strong, earthy, rustic and natural.

Can be traditional or modern/unusual.

I've always liked Alder for a boy. Possibly not an actual name but who cares 😃

Hmm. I like Leo, Forrest, Eden...

Anything stronger?

I want names for a boy who will help me dig up the potatoes and build our log cabin and make fires and go rafting with me... Does that make any sense? Lol.
