I know someone who had a Daisy Poppy then used Oakley for thier DS.

Gah, we missed the obvious one: Edward.

Bach ?

samsonara · 22/06/2010 23:24

just please don't call him Bush

senua · 22/06/2010 23:03

ROFL at this thread.

Narcissus?

Shallishanti · 22/06/2010 22:56

you may find this hard to believe, but there are many ways to mis-spell both Rowan and Linden!

elgreco · 22/06/2010 22:50

Laurel/lawrence

Darragh/Daire/Dara either rhymes with bar(of chocolate)-ah or bah(humbug)-rah

Acer.
Berry.

I always wanted a Berry, but we named DS after my Father instead. The only one I can think of is Berry Gordy.

I like Moss, and I know a little boy called Forest!!

Saw another one today:
Larch

Aspen is nice too.

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 21/06/2010 13:12

Leylandii?

thumbwitch · 21/06/2010 01:29

Rowan was my first thought, then Linden.
If you want to go the herb route, there's always Basil; Sage is more of a girl's name though, imo.

Broome? Burdock? Vervain? You could try re-reading Watership Down - see if any of the other male rabbit names appeal? (not Woundwort though )

I like Daragh, that's a good name.

mathanxiety · 21/06/2010 01:06

Daragh (oak reference in Irish)

stroppyshopper · 21/06/2010 00:11

Ash(e), Roan/Rowan, Linden spring to mind, and I like Elder and Alder as previously suggested. I don't know why, but the name Bruce always makes me think of trees (and Canadians). I guess because it sounds like Spruce?

MrsKitty · 21/06/2010 00:07

Fraser (Scottish - of the forest men or French from Fraise/Strawberry)

Moss

Glen

Hawthorne

Oleander

Alder

Gentian

samsonara · 21/06/2010 00:04

Elder is usually a surname but I quite like it as a fist name, I also like Nalin, which is indian for lotus flower

feetheart · 20/06/2010 23:30

Definitely Ash (though I may be biased )

Have heard of boy triplets called Willow, Oak and Ash

SE13Mummy · 20/06/2010 23:19
