Tree names - what do you think?

So my eldest is Rowan (boy), and bump is a few months away from arrival.

If bump is female, we’re fairly set on Elowen (pronounced Eh-LOW-en), maybe Holly as a back up. Could be swayed to other ideas.

If bump is male, we’re undecided. Maybe Lennox (and Lex for short). Although I do like Lachlan (not tree themed but still nice). Some version of Ash is another option, although I think Ashley is a girls name usually these days?

Any other ideas? We’ve looked at many tree name lists, but I want to hear opinions/preferences.

Some really lovely suggestions from people / thank you so much!

DH isn’t bothered by Elowen rhyming with Rowan, and tbh it’s not a bar for me either, but it’s good to be reminded of some gorgeous alternatives to keep in mind. I especially like Ivy, Daphne, and Alba. Afterall when baby arrives maybe one of these will feel more “her”.

And if it’s a boy, Hollis is now as option, and increasingly Ash too. Might investigate more Australian varieties too… Thank you!
