Nature/bohemian names

I quite like nature names, names with a slight bohemian feel to them. Some of the names I like are Amber, Jasmine and Skye. All of them feel a bit dated now as they peaked in popularity a while ago, but I'm still tempted to use Amber.
I just wondered what other names I might like, nothing too unusual. If this baby is a girl she will be a summer baby. I love the name Summer but it's my friends daughters name and just feels a bit too close.

Alannah
Daphne
Esme

Nothing feels quite right!

Some lovely names here. I LOVE Meadow but we have one in the family.

Does Wren sound a bit short with a one syllable surname?
I like Willow but DH doesn't.
I love Luna but it gets slated on here for some reason?
Hazel is nice

I really want to like Astrid but find it a little bit harsh.
Primrose is nice but I worry about Prim and her not liking it.
Is bluebell a bit too twee do you think?!

Does anyone have any thoughts on Amber and if it's had its day?

Love Amber. I think you do too. So go for it! It hadn't had its day at all.

Saffron is another brill one as PP suggested.

I think Luna only gets slated as it was really popular and then people started calling their pets Luna too. I think it's a lovely name. Bluebell is a nice sounding name but I'd worry that it wouldn't be suitable for when she's an adult. Amber is a nice name and sounds good on both a child and an adult.
