Boho/ Nature / Winter inspired Boys names...

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!)

@Whatsyourflava I agree with you with Rowan. It's a lovely name for both boy and girls which is a bonus in my book as I love unisex names but yes it has potential to be way way popular.

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

Brynn

How about Radley. I think it means Red Forrest but I better check that.

I really like Asa but I guess it has the potential to get popular given the actor, but is a long way away from that for now.

Barley - it’s a grain

@Wheresthebiffer2 yes I agree Rowan will be far too popular for the brief. It’s top 100 now and if you combine its numbers with Roman and Rohan etc, it’s verging on top 10 numbers

@TheDIsiilusionedAnarchist I love the name Sage, I know it's unisex and we have it on our girls list too! Amazing choice x

Well I've woken up this morning to some fantastic suggestions thank you so much everyone!
We have been discussing a few more, hopefully we agree on something! Even though we don't know what we are having yet I'm a massive name fan and would still like to have an exciting name list in place for boys x

Do you follow jetsetmama on Instagram? She has 3 boys called Atlas, Sochi and Citizen and a daughter called Zephyr. Sounds a bit like the sort of names you might like

Lux

Wheresthebiffer2 · 30/04/2020 01:06

Hal - from 2001 A Space Odyssey

Blake - from Blake's Seven (one of the best vintage space series ever)

Rowan - name increasing in popularity - is a nice tree as well.

Sylvan the best suggestion so far. A guy on dancing on ice it's his name, he's French.

winterisstillcoming · 29/04/2020 22:42

Bryn

Magicbabywaves · 29/04/2020 22:38

Cosmo

Blursula · 29/04/2020 22:30

Acer, like the tree. I love it and think it looks much nicer than Asa (which means healer)

QuimReaper · 29/04/2020 22:13

How about Sylvan?

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 29/04/2020 22:04

Eira means snow in Welsh but it is a girls name.
