Natural boys name

Kpo58 · 06/10/2017 09:53

I've just found out that I will be having a boy due Jan/Feb time.

I'd like to have a natural sounding name for him, but not something that would hold him back when applying for work in the future.

Maybe something to do with time of day/season/landscape?

Unfortunately I haven't managed to think up any names so far.

No way does Ocean go with those surnames and in the US it seems to be a girls name eg Ocean Ramsey that woman who swims with sharks

Hope you find something really nice soon

Natural name with weather surname is mean. Bit like calling your kid North West.

Smoliver · 06/10/2017 19:40

Thought of a couple more:

Brook
Oakley
Brock - means badger
Orson - means bear
Arthur - means bear too
Quill
Wolf/Wolfie

Most of the suggested names combined with Frost or Snow just sound like wanky paint colours. Sorry!

Liadain · 06/10/2017 17:44

God Blizzard would be an amazing surname! And I've never been a huge fan of mine, it's tempting...

Anyway OP, I think names like Robin would sound a bit silly with Frost/Snow. It's just that bit too matchy and winter themed.

Would something like Flint work? Or a nature name from another language. Colman in Irish for example is little dove and the nature connotation isnt so obvious...I appreciate though that it may be names like Forrest, Heath etc that you want!

Oh, I'm sad that people are right about Frost or Snow. I wanted you to be called Blizzard.

Natural names:
Robin (maybe too Winter themey)
Tallon
Ash
Phoenix
River (doesn't really sound right with Frost or Snow)
Jay (not is you're a Frost because of Jack Frost)
Indigo
Storm (not if you're a Snow because of Snow Storm)
Huckleberry??

Oh I missed Frost, it could be that! Sorry!

"A lot of presumption about the surname being snow!"

What other winter weather conditions are also surnames?

Sleet? Fog? Mist? Hail? Wind? Cold but sunny?

Do enlighten us!

DiegoMadonna · 06/10/2017 14:35

Lol at "winter condition" - I was thinking "your surname is cold? Flu? Norovirus???"
