Girls names related to 'green'. Just Jade?

I'm looking for girls names which link in to 'green' somehow. The colour, not environmentalism!
Any ideas? I can only think of Jade....

Hazel eyes are light brown, like hazelnuts, saralyn. Green eyes are... green.

Verdigris
Linden (lime tree)
Sylvia (like sylvan - of woods and trees)
Laverne (vernal equinox)

Other trees that will be in leaf or blossom at the time - Willow, various fruit trees in blossom, or look here for seasonal floral inspiration: www.naturescalendar.org.uk/

There is a green Tara in Tibetan Buddhism?

fazsaeed · 18/03/2012 22:15

I was going to say ruby but then realised that's red lol
My other idea has been said emerald
It is a nice name :)

Midori is also the name of (albeit very nice) liquer

ButterPecanMuffin · 18/03/2012 21:46

Midori is the Japanese for green.

Chloe means green in ancient Greek (yellowy spring-like green).

I like your own suggestion of Juniper the best (Juniper Leigh?), but how about Ever?

saralyn · 18/03/2012 21:39

Hazel (that's what you call green eyes in England, isn't it? )

joanofarchitrave · 18/03/2012 21:33

Loving Juniper very very much.

Equinox is a lovely middle name. Not with Juniper though.

Have been thinking about Juniper actually. Do you think we could get away with it? Is it not a bit too odd? DH loves Juno so that would keep him happy, but not sure I'd find a nn I like... Teal, Sage and Ivy are cool too. And Blossom is cute but not sure she'd thank me when she's older... Keep em coming, this is great inspiration!

I like blossom to and very fitting for spring

MadameChinLegs · 18/03/2012 21:20

If you like tree names, what about Rowan, Hazel, Juniper, Laurel?

Yeah just that really, DD is due around Spring equinox, and green is my favourite colour. We've exhausted all other avenues in trying to agree on a name, so thought I'd try something new... Yep trees will be fine, but not sure I like the ones you've listed astra!

Lily (pad)
Holly (bush)
Tia (Green Tea)
Apple
Ivy
Santa (who's suit was green befor coca-cola bought him)
Willow

Joni Mitchell wrote a song called Little Green about her daughter - but it's very sad.

If you didn't fancy Olive you could go for Olivia,

Fern?
