What's your fave nature-related name?

I've been on a nature kick the last couple of days ...

I quite like Rain/Raine, Sky, Ocean.

When I was younger I swore I'd name a boy Canyon Blush and I also liked Lake, Briar, and Laurel.

Any others to inspire me?

Ooh, I forgot about River. I do love that name.

I know a Willow, she is a brat though Grin

OOOOOOH forgot about one I quite like which is Ivy. Does Eden count?

Raine is lovely. You could always go for Lorraine and shorten it as a nn.

Sorrel and Willow.

I must say not many of the names mentioned are my cup of tea buT I like Fearne.

I like Rowan, Willow, Heather, Sky, River, Storm (though not sure I'd actually use the last one!)

I think River goes well with Heath and Darwin. I

Oh and our shortlisted middle name for DC5 is River! Thought looking at it like this that might be a bit of a nature overload!

MuddlingThroughItAll · 26/10/2011 14:45

I have a Heath with I obviously thinks it's a beautiful name not at all biast or anything

We also have a Darwin which could be thought as as slightly nature-y (Charles Darwin evolution etc). That is a bit convoluted though!

Oh I love River, mainly because I still have a crush on River Phoenix.

strandednomore · 26/10/2011 14:42

I know a Summer and an Autumn, not sure if they count?
Err Holly? Laurel is nice. There's all the usual girls flowery names.
Ice?

Raine was one of our main contender's for ds had he been a girl.

Hazel I always loved

and I just adore Basil

I like Sky. I know a grown man called Sky. Lovely.

Rain is nice. Ocean is a bit too much, imo.
