Nature/bohemian names

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!

Amber just makes me think of an Amber traffic light Grin
I don't think Luna will be called lunatic, it's like an Arsenal supporter being called arse. Just doesn't happen as it's not v funny, and when it's not funny people move on with teasing Smile

@laurenGame I love Melody! I had forgotten that one.
Eden is nice but my son has a friend called Eden so it's a boy's name to me.

Some greats suggestions everyone. Laurel is pretty! Just not sure my southern accent does the l sound justice!
I'm glad lots of people like Amber, it will be hard to convince DH on it though. He loves Alana. I'll try Melody on him later!
It's a shame Luna is so close to Lunatic! It's such a beautiful name, just makes me think of the night sky.

I like Amber too.
Love Eden, Alba, Wren.

TopCatsTopHat · 28/01/2022 05:33

If you like wren but it's too short what about jenny-wren?
I love Amber, if you're drawn to a name you'll never regret giving it to your baby.

I also love Eden as a few suggested - what a stunning yet strong name.
Wish it was that easy to find a boy's name! Grin

laurenGame · 28/01/2022 01:56

@Buddhabowl if you love meadow but can't use it what about Melody? Strong yet elegant. Or ELODIE - that was my chosen name but we're having a boy

Hay! It’s no worse than Moss and Leaf, I suppose. I know one each of those.
Amber is lovely.
Luna is awful. It’s way too close to loony.

WeasilyPleased · 27/01/2022 23:27

Someone suggested Hay. Hay! Really?
I love Amber. We have a really sweet 3rd old one in our family.

Are you seriously suggesting nutmeg and seashell, and if so, do you realise this is a human baby not a kitten

😂 I was a bit more concerned about Buttercup!

Some of the names mentioned on this thread would be gorgeous if it was to name a flower fairy. But it's for a little girl who will grow up to be a woman and will presumably want to be taken seriously in certain situations.

MaddyMagellan · 27/01/2022 21:46

Amber is lovely, OP! Smile

Ceramide · 27/01/2022 21:33

I don't see Amber as dated. It is a bonus if it isn't at peak popularity just now. It's a lovely name.
