Botanical boys names?!

Found so many nature/botanical/whimsical names I love for a girl...such as Poppy, Rose, Hazel, Imogen, Arwen...but we are having a boy!

At the moment I love Oscar James for our little one (with the possibility of Rex, Freddie or Ted) but I'd love to know about any botanical/nature-inspired boys names too? Thanks :)

@Ladygaggia we had a springer spaniel called Bracken when we were younger, but I do actually like it for a human too!

I think Rowan and Oakley are my favourites.

I've seen a baby on Instagram called Bamboo.

I know babies called Bear/Atlas/Fox, it's definitely the trend at the moment.

I know a Lochi who has Scottish family. It's not the sort of name that is normally to my taste but I really like it!

Basil! I LOVE Basil.

our boy cat is called Huckleberry Grin

(we have a botanical naming convention for our pets - next on the list is Basil for a boy or Buttercup for a girl)
