Am currently expecting DC6(!). Bump will be much longed-for DS1. Already have:

Saffron
Dahlia
Violet
Tulip
Blossom

We would love to carry on the 'flower' theme for DS, but we don't mind branching into 'nature theme. Any ideas?

Titchmarsh?

The school holidays have started then.

FleeBee · 11/04/2011 13:09

I know a little boy called Woody, and he's gorgeous. Would that fit your nature theme?

burntsienna · 11/04/2011 12:52

Crocus

well, you've got Saffron and Tulip, so why not.

bemybebe · 11/04/2011 11:54

Florian
Floris

Good old continental names

Mum2Pea · 11/04/2011 11:46

Your girls? names are gorgeous!
But agree, might be difficult to choose a boys name that he wont be teased about later on

From the list, names which I think stick with the theme but hopefully aren?t too out there are
Heath
Sunny
Rowan
Brooke
Oakley
Bay

Good luck and let us know what you end up choosing?

Hedwig3 · 11/04/2011 11:19

Basil
Heath

hellymelly · 10/04/2011 22:43

Bracken sounds like a pony from an Enid Blighton book.Also Bracken is toxic,please don't saddle the poor boy with that.Tarragon? He will NEVER get a date. And Campion? Not too great if he's either madly macho or more like John inman.

Selks · 10/04/2011 21:53

Aphid?? Surely not! Hmm

OP, please choose something vaguely sensible that the poor child won't grow up to hate and get teased over!

Rowan and Ash are the ones that I like. Tarragon? Nooooo......

Maternelle · 10/04/2011 20:14

Tarragon is really silly. Sorry.

TysonSnowflower · 10/04/2011 19:00

Cave
River
I know 2 dc with these names and they suit them
Dont like Lake, Moss and agree Forrest will be Gump, and nobody wants to be referred to as him.
