Larch ??

[Comerscroft]

I have a cousin named Larch (her mother was a bit bats).

Larch has a daughter whom she named Willow, (which is more reasonable, I think).

Willow has just had a little girl and is determined to continue the tree theme with a selection of Ebony, Maple, Linden or Poplar.

My suggestions of Cherry, Hazel, Laurel and Apple were dismissed out of hand.

Any suggestions?

[hf128219]

Blossom?

[UnquietDad]

I would say, but you'd only get Sycamore suggestions.

What a family tree

[ButterflyMcQueen]

Larch is divine
Poplar sounds sweet but would get Poppy
Maple is lovely

I think they are all lush but am a frustrated hippy

[slayerette]

Rowan or Holly.

Failing that, tell her that those names are all a bit passe these days and that she should go for something a little less bourgeois such as Oak, Chestnut, Plane, Pine, Conifer or Dutch Elm.

Am Stumped......

[MadamAnt]

Alder, Camellia, Juniper, Cypress, Mimosa...

Actually, what's wrong with the names she's chosen? It's her baby, not yours

[LynetteScavo]

Acacia.

[claricebeansmum]

LOL Savoy

[tortoiseSHELL]

Definitely Rowan. Or Robinia - Robin for short?

[MadamAnt]

Olive

Persimmon

[claricebeansmum]

Holly

Ivy

Leilandii (sp?)
No not sure that would be good everyone would hate her

[Boco]

I know two girls named after trees called Rowan and Tilia.

Nice but I always think that Tilia sounds like a very very tiny bone in the ear.

My nickname used to be Larch - still is with certain friends.

[bogie]

UnquietDad that made me laugh out loud

[ButterflyMcQueen]

Clematis
Nemesia

[UnquietDad]

As long as your surname is not Redwood.

[StressTeddy]

Ivy - not quite a tree but still gardenish

[claricebeansmum]

Ooo. Off to pedant's corner Stress!

[filthymindedvixen]

Rowan.
Sigh, I wanted Rowan but I had two boys....and in my head it is a girl's name.

[StressTeddy]

Just realised why u said that - hadn't seen Ivy earlier on. Thought I was the first say it
Sorry babe

[Tnoog]

I like this idea and love the name Larch.

How about Plum or Honeysuckle?

[rosealbie]

That's funny filthymindedvixen, to me Rowan is a boys name (ds's name) but I do have a friend with a girl called Rowan too.

We have a bit of a tree theme going as well with dd's name, and I love a lot of the suggestions. Perhaps I am just an old hippy as well!

[StressTeddy]

I love, love the name Acer - but I've only known it to be used for a boy

[filthymindedvixen]

I love tree names (deffo old hippy here)

I had to be firmly disuaded from calling ds1 Oak [pg hormones]
