Nature names for both girls and boys

I adore nature and would love ideas for baby names relating to nature. They could either be:

  • A name that is an actual item from nature (e.g. plants like Lily, or precious stones like Amber)
  • A name derived from something from nature e.g. Oliver for a boy, relating to the olive tree.
  • A name that has an actual meaning relating to nature, or the earth (e.g. Ava which is Latin for Bird)

There are a few I can think of for girls that I like (though I'm not keen on Poppy / Rose / Rosie / Holly) but I can't think of many for boys.

Girls:
Ivy
Ava (though this is very popular recently)
Iris
Fern
Amber
Hazel
Lily (or derivatives like Lillian /Lillia)
Violet
Heather

Boys:
Ash (as in the tree)
Oliver

Thank you for your ideas.

I love Arthur for a boy, and only realised recently it means "bear"... could be a cute nickname.

I think Sorrel is nice for a girl.
