I have my heart set in Rueben. Everyone says he'll get nicknamed Ruby. But Its just sticking atm. We have a DD whos called Ava.

DH is a tree surgeon, whole family is in the tree business. So he wants a tree themed name. He loves Forrest but all I can think of is 'run Forrest run' ill be shouting at sports day along with other forrest gump quotes. Had the usual oak/Oakley/ which I don't mind for a middle name. Open to any boys names, tree themed or not. I've searched books, online and just can't come accross any that stick (apart from reuben🙊)

A family friend is called Alpin (Alpie for short) which alway makes me think of nature, but i’m not sure why.

Heard a Cedar the other day which I thought was quite nice/interesting.

I love Elwood 😍 Wish we were brave enough to use it.

I like Cedar, it's on our list. I have a Rowan but she's a girl, it's a great unisex name. Also like Asher and Archer. DH likes Oakley and Heath but I'm not so keen.

We like Zephyr (gentle breeze), Sage and Eden too.

If you call him Reuben PLEASE check the spelling first! It's not Rueben.

Timber is one of my favourites, even if yelling out "Timber" in the playground might be a bit startling.

Reuben (not Rueben) is lovely

I’ve met a boy Ruby (not short for anything) and it works well for him!

Silas is a gorgeous name

Deri is Welsh for oak tree. I know someone with this name and it’s a good solid name which travels well throughout life
