Nature/bohemian names

83 replies

Buddhabowl · 27/01/2022 17:28

I quite like nature names, names with a slight bohemian feel to them. Some of the names I like are Amber, Jasmine and Skye. All of them feel a bit dated now as they peaked in popularity a while ago, but I'm still tempted to use Amber.
I just wondered what other names I might like, nothing too unusual. If this baby is a girl she will be a summer baby. I love the name Summer but it's my friends daughters name and just feels a bit too close.

Other names on our list
Alannah
Daphne
Esme

Nothing feels quite right!

I really like Amber. It's never been common about here but at the same time, you definitely know its a name and not too weird haha

My friend has daughters called Ehlana & Meredith

CurryLover55 · 30/01/2022 18:40

I know twins called Amber & Jade - have to say I prefer Amber.
Summer is nice but has become very common.
I love Briony & Tansy.
Rose
Daisy
Just seen Elowyn - that’s beautiful

Sorry- just saw that your baby will be born in the summer. Wren Noelle and autumn would be out..
What about something that could go from child to adult like:
Meredith- merry
Beatrice/ Beatrix - bee

I don't hate Primrose but "Prim" isn't a very nice thing to be called. It's also got "rim" in the name.
Rose, Rosy or Posy are better names, maybe a bit too twee though.

What about Lavender or Nova?
I like Elara, Luna and Soleil.

Elara is lovely.
Ok so I've been away for the weekend and heard a sister sib-set called Lilac and Primrose.

Primrose has always been my guilty pleasure name, one I love but couldn't quite bring myself to use.
It was adorable on this little girl and put it right back on the table. Primrose anyone? Is it now more usable? DH hasn't vetoed, seems to like more than Amber. He isn't sure about 'prim' though. I don't mind Prim.

If you like Luna and Alana, Elara might be an option? It's one of the moon's of Jupiter 🌙

I think of Luna Lovegood the Harry Potter character. I liked her ethereal intelligence. 😊
