It may kill me to say it - 'hippy' names - any help please if you can

[jasonlovesme]

DS is Storm Leaf Edward Wolf Surname

DC2 needs at least a name kind of like DS1. But as DS1 is named (exactually) for someone dear to me - we just added the Edward in. Don't think it needs to be as 'hippy' like.
I have a name like DS while DP has a very 'normal' name

For the one traditional name, Timothy for a boy and Mary for a girl.

So we need a fn and 2 more mns.

Ohh and thank you for the replies to the other threads - very helpful.

Our roughish shortlist:

Boys:

Moon
Silas

Oh, and LOVE Zilla.

Shepherd for a boy?
Rata for a girl?

I like Zephyr for a boy.

Mist for a girl?

Also agree that you should not call a second child Shadow. Bad connotation.

I looked at hippy/pagan names for my DS but found it very difficult to find a suitable name.In the end we decided on Che Rocco.Really suits him.For a girls name we had Misty Blue.Girls name are so much easier!

I like Heath for boys name.

It reminds of the Yorkshire moors

Dandelion

Can I just give the perspective of someone who was given the name Echo (only as a middle name) - I hated it when I was a kid, children just teased me about it when they found out, I think Echo was a name for a newspaper, a margarine and a dolphin at the time, and I always got the old favourite of repeating everything many times over.

Now that I am an adult I do love it, and so do other people, but please don't give it to a boy! She was a Greek nymph, who fell in love with Narcissus. I can't imagine the teasing a boy would get from it!

Now I am reading a lot of these names and thinking they are beautiful, but you really do need to think around them and work out what they might say about it on the playground before you choose one!

bracken?

Marly is french for blackbird.
Robyn
Wren
Swan
Star-nina (nina means bright)
Ninastar

I think that the name needs to mean something to you and have a good story behind it. If you want to be unquie you could make a name up or combine two names to make a new one up.

my sons name is Orindi Riven Orindi meaning the soul given to you by your two parents and Riven being a mix or river and raven, we call him Indi.....were in the same predicament now looking for the night name for dc2!!!

Moon River Timothy Fox
Moon River Mary Cat

Wow, some great names here. Love the nature / element thing. Wanted it myself but DP vetoed everything.

May I add Zipporah, Flax, Io and Phlox to your girl's list? I wanted one of these for my DD but it wasn't to be!

Also desperately wanted Tethys. Loved the 'oldness' of it. Truly ancient. Oh this takes me back. For the record, we settled on Robin for our DD. Halfway between nature and 'proper'.

I love Birch for a boy....

Also Day for a girl.
