I like Rowan the best Smile

CountryMama · 27/11/2012 15:48

i am so glad I found your post as I need a boy country name too!! (My girl is Ivy). I am considering Silas right now.... means forest dweller... but need more inspiration!! Love some of the suggestions. Grove and Elwood stick out to me. For me the meaning is way more important than the sound of the name.

I once knew a little boy called Brock - Named so because his mother loved badgers! Smile There were 5 little Brocks born in the UK last year, according to ONS.

Kit - I've seen this mentioned on mn as a variant of Christopher, but it's also the name of a baby fox.

There's Brooke, Sky and Summer for girls as well.
