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.

Girls: willow, fern, rose,
Boys: river

These are the only ones that spring to mind! I’m sure others will have better suggestions!

Some beautiful nature names suggested already. I’m loving Elowen at the moment. It’s Cornish for Elm tree.

You could also have a look at Greek/Roman/European gods names - no one will mistake that for active religious belief but it’s part of UK cultural heritage (whatever your actual ethnic background)

Thank you everyone. I'm a bit of this and a bit of that, partner is white British agnostic. I'm just depressed with hormones, all religions, sexism and am finding solace in nature. So many lovely names suggested logging out now to do adulting, much appreciated x

There are so many for girls - you are really spoilt for choice (personal faves are Gaia, Cassia, Jessamine, Briony, Wren, Eira, Gweneira, Eirwen and Lilia).

Boys are much harder, I think the only ones I really like the sound of are Robin, Heath and Rowan (and maybe River, Fen and Leith if I'm feeling brave).
