Am currently expecting DC6(!). Bump will be much longed-for DS1. Already have:

Saffron
Dahlia
Violet
Tulip
Blossom

We would love to carry on the 'flower' theme for DS, but we don't mind branching into 'nature theme. Any ideas?

Good old continental names

Crocus

well, you've got Saffron and Tulip, so why not.

FleeBee · 11/04/2011 13:09

I know a little boy called Woody, and he's gorgeous. Would that fit your nature theme?

Titchmarsh?

The school holidays have started then.

Box. Good one Wink

bamboostalks · 11/04/2011 18:13

Surely Briony is a girl's name by anyone's judgement?

CheerfulYank · 11/04/2011 18:17

Aspen is nice, Cedar ok. Indigo lovely. Phoenix? Robin?

Heath is nice and not too out there.

CheerfulYank · 11/04/2011 18:17

Oh and really like Kiefer.

ResurrectionByChocolate · 11/04/2011 18:20

Heathcliff? or Birch

freesias · 11/04/2011 18:25

bamboostalks i think at one point briony like rowan was unisex but has become feminised . definitely knew a male briony back in the 70s

Rowan

freesias · 11/04/2011 18:49

jonquil a girls name possibly but at least he could shorten it to jon

cherrycocacola · 11/04/2011 18:50

Forrest (am not worried about Gump)
Moss
River
Rowan
Thorne
Ash
Oakley
