Earthy girls names

My friend wants a strong earthy girls name inspired either by the sea, forrest, or mountains. She loves the names Bear, Wolfie, Forrest, Rocky, and Caspien for a boy, but the baby is a girl.

For a girl she is considering Sequioa after the trees, or Gaia after Mother Nature, but she says she much prefers her boys names. She wants a name that is unusual and will be the only child with this name in their class so wants to avoid flower names, and more classic earthy names such as Willow, Fern, etc. She knows a baby River. Any ideas?

It's a boy's name but could be unisex I suppose - Innes like in John Innes.

or Peta -anagram of Peat.

@MikeUniformMike I know a number of Serens all in their 20s and 30s! I wouldn't call that recent!
