I've lost my religion and gone off the idea of using a classic names, I think I'd like dd to have name inspired by nature. Nothing too outlandish like Hurricane. Please feel free to share as many girl and boy nature names so that others looking for nature names can come here for inspiration too. Thanks.

I like Lily, Rowan, Amber for girls.

For boys, River, Ocean, Leo, Leland.

I also know a Reef, though I can’t say I like it. He was a free spirit, or anyway his parents thought so.

I love Moss for a boy but not sure if it’s too out there

Marcipex · 16/05/2021 23:55

There was a boy called Moss at nursery. It is a bit of a dog s name though. And auto corrects to Miss.

Also a girl called Leaf. Quite a sweet name.

I know a couple of little Irish boys called Moss. It's a known name, or nickname, there though. Was traditionally short for Maurice.
