Outdoorsy boys names

Hello everyone :) trying to come up with an outdoorsy sounding boys name. Our surname is James.

So far we have the following
Lake, Harbor, Finch and North.

Any opinions on those? or other suggestions

Thanks :D

A boy at DS nursery is called lake. My DS is Luke. I don't know whether it's my ds name which causes the confusion but little Lake always gets called Luke and his parents spend their lives correcting people

Gunner?
Flint?

Castlemilk · 22/11/2014 19:24

Some brilliant, proper 'outdoorsy' names here - so yes it will be a pity if you do call him Lake or Harbour and end up with a boy who sounds like a self-catering holiday camp rather than a rugged pioneer Grin

I think Polaris is more of a girl's name.

findingherfeet · 22/11/2014 13:56

River and flint are nice I think

BikeRunSki · 22/11/2014 13:56

Sorry haklyut. Still an awesome name.

I'm adding ...

Polaris

BikeRunSki · 22/11/2014 13:54

I was too lazy to look up the height, so I just hoped someone else would do the honours... Much obliged! Smile

Hakluyt · 22/11/2014 13:28

Oi! Munro was my idea!!!

BikeRunSki · 22/11/2014 07:12

By 3000 feet surely moxon?

moxon · 22/11/2014 06:36

I agree with bike. If you're serious about a somewhat unusual outdoorsy name, Munro James is a winner. By a looooooong shot. By a mile. By the height of a munro. Can't be other.

Spanielpuppy · 21/11/2014 21:12

Red toothbrush I'm also really curious to know what your ds is called.

Loving this name thread, boys names are so hard and this thread is giving lots of good suggestions

squoosh · 21/11/2014 19:44

to be fair I'd imagine Wolfie sounds stupid with anyone's surname.

RabbitSaysWoof · 21/11/2014 19:40

TheWholeOfTheSpoon · 21/11/2014 19:38

Wolife. I've been on an eternal mission to get a MNer to use Wolfie! I LOVE that name! It sounds stupid with our surname though.

VivaLeBeaver · 21/11/2014 19:38

Jesse James surely?

Amazing combo.

BikeRunSki · 21/11/2014 19:34

Munro is brilliant

BikeRunSki · 21/11/2014 19:31

Robin
Peter (means "Rock" or "stone" in Aramaic)
Peregrine

Hakluyt · 21/11/2014 19:29

But do, please consider what is would be like to be a spotty shy 11 year old who hadn't had his growth spurt yet starting secondary school called Falcon.

Thegentlemonkey · 21/11/2014 19:26

I'd go for Falcon - outdoorsy & also the middle name of Captain Scott

Hakluyt · 21/11/2014 19:17

Munro.

Please don't call him something silly. He'll have this name for 90 years. Very boring to have people commenting on it every single time he says it for 90 years.............

ThatBloodyWoman · 21/11/2014 19:14

In something I came across,the boys nn was Bug.
I think it'd be a fantastic actual name.
