Acer?

Oak/ley

Something to do with Lochs? I’m sure are be Scottish names to do with lochs or islands.

Tbh I think they are all girls’ names. Even the ones I know are neutral seem feminine to me.

fluorescentpotato · 16/08/2018 11:33

I know all of them can be boy's names but I am a bit concerned that they sound too feminine

I would definitely think ‘girl’ for all of them except possibly Ash and Rowan, and I think Rowan is very feminine even though I know it’s loved on here as a boys’ name Grin

idonthaveatattoo · 16/08/2018 11:36

Heath - there’s a good one.

Bryn means mountain in welsh, sure there are other welsh nature names Grin

Ford is nice and quite masculine compared to others.

fluorescentpotato · 16/08/2018 18:01

I think Lake and Eben are probably my favourites from my list. There's also Jasper, a type of stone. I like Winter and River. But i think my problem I don't like many boys names which is why I keep leaning towards more unisex names but most I wouldn't choose for a girl

I do know a little boy with Shepherd as a first name (known as Shep)

thegreylady · 16/08/2018 18:04

Oh and Kes short for Kestrel or Merlin in the same vein.

TheDisillusionedAnarchist · 16/08/2018 18:06

My son is Sage as a sage is a wise old man I can’t see how it’s a girls name.

I quite like Falcon and Willow for boys. Rowan is lovely but popular. River always seems to me a bit like Rainbow a stereotypical hippy name. Phoenix or Cedar are other possibilities maybe.
