Salix (latin for willow)

Arlo means Barberry tree (If I remember correctly)

Love that name. Was high up on my lists.

Love the name Heath for a boy.

Willow for a girl

Rowan is unisex

Sorrel I think can be used for either

Rowan or Ash

SE13Mummy · 20/06/2010 23:19

I know a Herbie... brother of Hebe.

How about Sorrell, Lennox, Oliver, Perry or Bay?

feetheart · 20/06/2010 23:30

Definitely Ash (though I may be biased )

Have heard of boy triplets called Willow, Oak and Ash

Elder is usually a surname but I quite like it as a fist name, I also like Nalin, which is indian for lotus flower

MrsKitty · 21/06/2010 00:07

Fraser (Scottish - of the forest men or French from Fraise/Strawberry)

Moss

Glen

Hawthorne

Oleander

Alder

Gentian

stroppyshopper · 21/06/2010 00:11

Ash(e), Roan/Rowan, Linden spring to mind, and I like Elder and Alder as previously suggested. I don't know why, but the name Bruce always makes me think of trees (and Canadians). I guess because it sounds like Spruce?

mathanxiety · 21/06/2010 01:06

Daragh (oak reference in Irish)

thumbwitch · 21/06/2010 01:29

Rowan was my first thought, then Linden.
If you want to go the herb route, there's always Basil; Sage is more of a girl's name though, imo.

Broome? Burdock? Vervain? You could try re-reading Watership Down - see if any of the other male rabbit names appeal? (not Woundwort though )

I like Daragh, that's a good name.

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 21/06/2010 13:12

Leylandii?

thumbwitch · 21/06/2010 13:22

Saw another one today:
Larch

Aspen is nice too.

NiceCuppaT · 22/06/2010 09:28

I like Moss, and I know a little boy called Forest!!

Leviathan · 22/06/2010 20:14

Is Daragh pronounced like Dhara? I quite like that one
