Eider ducks are lovely, but if you've ever heard one (well, an eider drake to be accurate) you couldn't possibly use it as a child's name.

Cue Frankie Howerd impersonations...

Ok been doing a little search (instead of doing work) so sorry if the list is long but these names sound good to my ear.

Plant- Willow, Hazel, Aspen, Bryony, Camelia, Orchid, Ada, Nigella

Bird- Wren, Robin, Linnet, Dove, Raven, Teal, Sparrow, Mistle, Siskin, Nene, Eider, Harlequin
