Nature names for a boy please?

I'm thinking along the lines of Rowan, Jasper, Oakley, Cedar... Not Ocean, Bear, Leaf, Wolf, if you get my gist?

It will be for a middle name after either Jack, Rory or Jamie.

Thanks!

LittleLostRoeDeer · 05/01/2015 13:08

But would you want your child to have it as a name?!

We really liked nature names and went with Rowan as a middle name for our little boy. Combined it with a more unusual first name and I love it! Most of the middle names you've come up with were on our list too. Good taste Wink

Lol deer! Nothing wrong with badgers of the correct sort...

Elvira thanks for reminding me about Brook. I had a friend called Brook when I was two!!!

Yay for Sylvan!
I thought of another one. What about Brock? Similar to Bracken but a bit stronger sounding (to my ears). Jamie Brock? It does mean badger though...

LetTheRiverAnswer · 04/01/2015 23:54

Orin/Oran/Oren have a similar sound to Rowan and mean something like little green one

Linden
River
Leigh
Bryn (Welsh for hill)
Brook
For(r)est
Beck
Bay
Bailey

How about names of rivers/mountains/hills/islands?

Derwent
Calder
Rothay
Torridon
Lewis
Harris
Arran
Lundy

OMG sudden burst of replies, thank you!

I love Sylvan and had forgotten because dh vetoed it a long time ago... Maybe I could sneak it in...
Jack Sylvan...
Rory Sylvan...
Jamie Sylvan...

I like Orion but think it sounds clunky as a mn.

I like Beck but not sure it really sounds quite right in our name to me.

I also like Jay, maybe Jet, and Jasper
Rory Jay
Rory Jet
Rory Jasper...

And I like Rowan. It works better with
Jamie Rowan
Jack Rowan

If he was a girl I'd have Fern but I can't adjust myself to Bracken for a boy. And dh would definitely say no even though he claims no interest in the middle name!

Thanks, further thoughts still welcome!

Bay
Sylvan (sp?)
I quite liked Sylvester but couldn't get past Stallone...
I can't work out how to pronounce Fagus without it sounding a bit dodgy!

Rhubarbgarden · 04/01/2015 23:09

Cairn

Fishandjam · 04/01/2015 23:05

Or go a bit Nordic - eg Jokul (glacier - could be pronounced as a Y or a J, though Y is technically correct), or Stinn (stone)?

I really, really wanted to name DD Katla, after the Icelandic volcano. Turns out it would have been a great name, what with the colic and everything.

Clark
Peter
Bruce
Robert

Bellisperennis · 04/01/2015 23:00

I like Tor

Fishandjam · 04/01/2015 23:00

Fagus (soft g) or Fraxinus? (Beech and ash trees respectively.) I'd have named DS Fraxinus but DH wasn't keen...
