Wildlife inspired names

DH and I are looking for suggestions of names that are wildlife/nature related but something other than the usual Fox, Bear, Sage, Hazel, Savannah, Tiger, etc. They are all beautiful names but we are trying to come up with other options.

There are plenty of words we are familiar with that we'd love to use as names but they're perhaps only familiar to us since we are on the field so our judgment is slightly clouded. Here are a couple of examples of what we are looking into:

Carey - Related to a type of turtle
Pongo - Genus for orangutans

(They'd probably be middle names anyway as we do know we'd want more regular first names). They can be for a boy or girl as we won't know the sex.

When I was travelling I met a girl called Tamarin. I thought that was quite a cool name.

I know of a little boy called Swift, it’s not my cup of tea but isn’t quite as quirky as some of the suggestions.

I taught a boy named Jay; I always thought of it as a happy, free name.

I like the following herbs and flowers and trees:
Cicely (a herb)
Celandine (a poppy)
Marguerite (a daisy)
Peony
Saffron
Sorrel
Zinnia
Larch
Willow

Animals not so much.

I'm running on very little sleep and can't stop laughing at little baby Turdus Pongo.
