Boho/ Nature / Winter inspired Boys names...

79 replies

Hey!

So the title says it all really....
We have a girls name more or less sorted but we can't agree on any boys names.
At. All.

The brief-
I love anything unusual and we both love boho/ nature names. Due this winter so if you can think of any unusual winter style names we could consider/ incorporate that's also a bonus.

Ideally a name that can be said and spelt easily and won't need much correcting.

Im also a fan of space related themes so not apposed to hearing about those or possible combinations (first and middle names).

Go go go! Name my baby! Smile
(Ps- appreciate it's not the easiest of briefs and has made me out to be quite picky but I just have not found THE ONE yet, so I need your help, thank you in advance guys!)

@Cincoperros also thank you so much for your wonderful suggestions. Does anyone know of any other cool star constellation names other than Orion? Xxx

@Cincoperros oh wow ok. Thanks for the heads up, that's coming off the list. Partner wasn't too keen anyway. Damn haha xxx

Oh god I keep thinking of more haha.
Nature/Space theme:
Jett (makes me think of the stone, and a rocket engine!)
Onyx
Pine
Moss
Granite
Buzz
Reed
Bracken
Blizzard
Ice (not sure if last two are more like husky names Grin)

I'm going on a Spanish tangent, but
You could consider Nieve (Ni-eh-veh) means snow.
Cielo (See-el-oh) means sky/heaven
Río (sounds like its said) - river

More of a girl's name, Estrella (Es-tray-a) meaning star.

Be a little bit careful with "Sola"... It means alone (female version) in Spanish.
I love love love Orion, a few people have suggested that

Let's see. How about some names of some nice winter flowering plants? Easy ones that aren't at all difficult for people to pronounce or spell, like:

Arctostaphylos
Aeonium arboreum atropurpureum
Rhaphiolepis
Pentagramma triangularis.

@TinklyLittleLaugh I don't mind if it gets popular a few years down the line but it's always nice to have your child be possibly the only one in their class with that name. I think that's nice anyway.

I'm not against popular names but I'm also not the kind of person who would call my child a name in the top 100/ top 50. X

That’s what my mate said when she named her, now 20 something, son Noah. You cannot predict what will catch on and become the next popular, or even down market, name. All you can do is pick what you like. There are no guarantees it will stay unusual.

@LooseyGoosey I love spacey names. I like Astra, Sol, Cosmo and Astrid too which are spacey.

Me and my partner have certainly got lots to discuss. I'm certainly going to have to find out the gender to stop possible arguments though haha x

@Mamahannah2019 It's really lovely. I quite like the idea of a whole space themed tribe:

Orion
Luna
Cassius
Venus
Nova
Astra

@LooseyGoosey I love that name and I think it could work for a girl too. I'd deffo go for something unusual as a middle too. Xxx

@Whatsyourflava I will do. We don't know what we are having just yet but I'm a name freak and have to have at least a list of ones we like. If it's a boy I'll report back with the chosen name. We have discussed a few more thanks to your guys' help. So thank you all Smile

OP posts:
LooseyGoosey · 30/04/2020 13:12

You could really go for it with the theme and have Orion Archer or Orion Hunter.

I probably wouldn't go the whole hog myself, but I love the name Orion, and would probably pair it with something more usual like Thomas.

Please let us know what you pick!!
