Botanical/nature/social justice girls names

[IMBCRound2]

Struggling to find a girl’s name I love !

Id love for it to be botanical, nature or ‘social justice ‘ - to me that’s a strong ‘virtue’ name that’s more to do with world goodness rather than anything religious!

i love names with meaning (so while I love Phaedra and Persephone I don’t think I could use them because of the stories behind them)

Lyrical and strong - and that elusive spot of being unusual without being too out there!

Emmeline.

I knew a Genesis and thought it was gorgeous. I know the religious aspect could be off putting. But I just think of new beginnings.

Some of the outdoorsy girl names I heard while in California, if it helps:

Sierra
Denali
Olympia
Aspen
Acadia
Marina
Cambria
Shasta

I also heard Rainier for a boy, which I thought was neat. I liked that so many of them were names of places/national parks or mountains.

Portia

Laurel
Sophia

Adaira - This means ford by the oak tree
Flora
Heather
Holly
Hazel
Rose / Rosa

Oh I love Adaira- I had Adair for one of my boy names (don’t know what I’m having) and hadn’t realised there was a female varient.

I really like Ostara as well (until I learned there were possible neo Nazi connections)

lol, some of these are taking the micky
there was one lady asking shall she call her daughter Cove and it was just about the beginning of Covid

I heard once in Surrey a name Twilight. Literally omg
Start call your kids Darknesses better so

Yeah that's what you get when looking up names on an american baby name site.
All names that were listed under the botanical/nature/ list.

Cove, for example, has been in the rise in the us for a decade; seriously.
Here are it's nick names; seriously.

• Covey.
• Cove.
• Coco.
• Vey.
• Covy.

Have you not heard of the name Twyla, short for Twilight? It's a name, believe me. "The name Twyla is the abbreviation of “twilight,” which stems from the Old English elements twī- and lēoht." Many famous people named Twyla and is also on the rise, but less so than Cove!

I love Willow, Laurel and Rowan. Margureite/ Margarita are the French and Spanish equivalent of Daisy.
