Elm?

[London803]

What does everyone think of the name Elm for a boy? I love it but is it a bit too hippy? Thanks!

I really like it... But for a girl

Not unless you are giving birth to a sapling rather than a baby..

😂

It sounds try hard to me.

Yes. My mum has a friend whose grandchildren are Willow and Cedar. They could all form a wood if they played together.

Seriously it’s a bit tree huggy for me and I’d think of Dutch Elm Disease all the time.

I like it for a boy 😁

Elm....

I automatically think nightmare....

Sorry.

Dunelm?

I'm just hearing 'wych' before it.

It's a nice name for a house or a road

Short for Elmer?

Slippery Elm?

Let's put a pin in the fact that you want to call your child after a tree - could you not choose a tree which doesn't have a disease named after it?

What about Groot?

Jesus no! Sounds very twatty. I think the only boy tree name is Ash. Is Rowan a boys name as well as a girls?

Tree names generally just mean you’re a dick and trying to hard to be ‘out there’.

It reminds me of the alphabet... Elm...n...o....p.. ?

Oakley is a tree based boys name if you want to go that way. Rowan can be boy or girl, Woody is more American but has been used in the UK. Personally - Elm, no. As above the connotation with Dutch Elm Disease.

Yes puds11 Rowan is traditionally a boys name eg. Rowan Atkinson, and the ex Arch Bishop OF Canterbury Rowan Williams. Rowena is the female version though Rowen seems to becoming more popular for think girls.
I cant think of any other tree names for boys.

Linden is also a tree name as are Rowan and Hazel and Olive.

It reminds me of the alphabet... Elm...n...o....p.. ?

Actually quite like that but for a girl

No. Just no. Not for a boy or a girl. Don't do that to them.
