Looking for a slightly out there hippyish/ naturey/ boys name

Hey, feel like I've completed the internet 10 times over and still can't find a boys name I like. I'm looking for something a bit out there but not totally rogue. Something potentially naturey, earthy/ hippyish/ dudeish and I like the sound of ie or y on the end. All the names I found so far seem to be nick names but the full version I really don't like. Suggestions welcome, thank you :)

Rook?

Rowan is a really good option. It will take your little man from nappies to the school playground to the board room or the building site. I also like Raif because it is a medieval form of Ralph.

Oooh I actually really like Oakley- hadn't considered it before. Thank you :)

I'd be wary of using that - Oakley is one of the fastest rising boys names, so very much gives off trendy Vs nature-y IMO

I quite like Alder as a tree name, and it doesn't feel quite as faddy.

Eben - Hebrew for "rock".

I really like river but my partner is not a fan.
We love Ziggy though, Zephyr is growing on me.
Thank you :)

Bhodie - bloody love this name

It's spelled Bodhi, surely? I know three kids called this so it's really not that out there IMO.

Zephyr? I love River too. My friends have a Ziggy, Ozzie and Donnie which aren't nature based but might fit the hippy theme!

RobertSalamander · 28/07/2024 13:05

I’d go for Acer personally. As in the tree, said the same as Asa so not completely wild name. Ace is pretty surfery.

RobertSalamander · 28/07/2024 13:05

Bodhi? I personally despise that name but seems to fit the bill.
