Mysterious/nature names for boys?

59 replies

Ginger10 · 06/01/2017 20:09

I love nature/fairy names for girls - Autumn, Faye, Violet, Rowan, Robin, Ivy, etc.

For boys I like names that are similar and a bit mysterious. Don't like Rowan or Robin for a boy! Any ideas? We don't like the names to be unisex for a boy (hence Rowan, Robin, Wren, etc. are all out)

Thank you!

Can I suggest a foreign name? Otso - its one of the ancient Finnish names for bear, from the pagan times when a bear was never to be referred to as a bear (they were weird people)

This is why I love the baby names section. Grin

I think you have some super suggestions so far, OP. Difficult to choose. I think Puck Quail Wolfsbane , or Timber Houdini Paul-Daniels have just the right balance of nature and the mysterious, but that's just my opinion.
