Quirky/Hippy/Earthy Names?

We don’t know what the sex is yet, but we would really like a different, quirky name for our first born! Maybe earthy, a bit hippy-ish.
I have been through so many lists and posts and none are jumping out at me. Help! Confused

I have only seen one original name on this thread!

The brief was hippy/earthy names. What are you bringing to the thread?

I've always thought Cedar would be a beautiful name. It could be for a boy or girl.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I do love Willow for a girl but I’m so stuck with a boys name. This is so hard!

I don't think I'd go for Oleander - all parts of it are toxic.

Fritha
Freya
Gaia
Bracken
Rainbow
Lilith

All very popular in the hippy circles of my childhood.

For boys, it was
Yew (but don't. We tormented poor Yew for years - the you/yew thing is irresistible to the under 8s)
Thor
Yule
Jed
Jethro
River

I know a little 4yr old boy called Carob. Not my cuppa but maybe yours?
