A lot of japanese, sanskrit and hebrew names are related to nature (I am sure some other cultures as well, native american? old norse? Thor (thumder))

Tarka, the water wanderer
the name given to otters in ancient times (I know a boy and a girl by this name)

Honestly- imagine yourself a scared, shy, glasses and brace wearing 11 year old who either hasn't had his growth spurt yet or who has and everyone else hasn't. Now imagine yourself having to give your name about 50 times on your first day at secondary school.and it's one of the names suggested here.

Now imagine yourself as a young manager trying to impose you authority over a team of bolshy older people. And you have to tell them your name's Sage. Or Tarka. Or Florian.
