Larch ??

[Comerscroft]

I have a cousin named Larch (her mother was a bit bats).

Larch has a daughter whom she named Willow, (which is more reasonable, I think).

Willow has just had a little girl and is determined to continue the tree theme with a selection of Ebony, Maple, Linden or Poplar.

My suggestions of Cherry, Hazel, Laurel and Apple were dismissed out of hand.

Any suggestions?

Blossom?

I would say, but you'd only get Sycamore suggestions.

What a family tree

Larch is divine
Poplar sounds sweet but would get Poppy
Maple is lovely

I think they are all lush but am a frustrated hippy

Rowan or Holly.

Failing that, tell her that those names are all a bit passe these days and that she should go for something a little less bourgeois such as Oak, Chestnut, Plane, Pine, Conifer or Dutch Elm.

Am Stumped......

Alder, Camellia, Juniper, Cypress, Mimosa...

Actually, what's wrong with the names she's chosen? It's her baby, not yours

Acacia.

LOL Savoy

Definitely Rowan. Or Robinia - Robin for short?

Olive

Persimmon

Holly

Ivy

Leilandii (sp?)
No not sure that would be good everyone would hate her

I know two girls named after trees called Rowan and Tilia.

Nice but I always think that Tilia sounds like a very very tiny bone in the ear.

My nickname used to be Larch - still is with certain friends.

UnquietDad that made me laugh out loud

Clematis
Nemesia

As long as your surname is not Redwood.

Ivy - not quite a tree but still gardenish

Ooo. Off to pedant's corner Stress!

Rowan.
Sigh, I wanted Rowan but I had two boys....and in my head it is a girl's name.

Just realised why u said that - hadn't seen Ivy earlier on. Thought I was the first say it
Sorry babe

I like this idea and love the name Larch.

How about Plum or Honeysuckle?

That's funny filthymindedvixen, to me Rowan is a boys name (ds's name) but I do have a friend with a girl called Rowan too.

We have a bit of a tree theme going as well with dd's name, and I love a lot of the suggestions. Perhaps I am just an old hippy as well!

I love, love the name Acer - but I've only known it to be used for a boy

I love tree names (deffo old hippy here)

I had to be firmly disuaded from calling ds1 Oak [pg hormones]
