If your first thought when seeing a list of nature baby names is that they are for hippies, you're in for a surprise. Nature names range from classic (Rose) to trendy (Aspen) and everything in between. With such a wide variety of choices, at least a few are bound to fit your style.A lot of these names are unisex, so use your imagination even though I divided them into genders for easier reading.

Diamond it's a nice name,never heard it's a baby name also.
ReplyDeleteIt's different but pretty. Diamond is usually used as a girl's name & was ranked at 359 for 2007. :)
ReplyDeletediamond reminds me of an american gladiator's name
ReplyDeleteSage is also a very pretty girls name... We know of 2. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list of names.. but why divide them into "Boys" and "Girls"? All of them can be gender-neutral. Giving girls flower names reinforces destructive stereotypes. Name boys Willow and girls Jade! In fact.. I know boys named Willow and (many) girls/women named Jade, Sage, Coriander and Cedar.
ReplyDelete.. and I just noticed with shock that you list the Girl names in pink and Boy names in blue! Are you serious? I think we are generally finished with this kind of silly and, like I said before, destructive gender binarism.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, Anonymous. The second paragraph states my reasoning for dividing names into genders—I think it's easier to process so much information when it's organized. I mean no offense.
ReplyDeleteI love nature names their beautiful. My girl name at the moment is Rose I think it's beautiful. I'm beginning to love Sage and Willow - Willow for a girl and Sage for either sex - I prefer traditional nature names but it's interesting seeing a mix so thank you.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget nature names from other cultures, too. My daughter's first and middle names, Kaia Haneul, are Hawaiian ("sea/ocean") and Korean ("sky/heavens").
ReplyDeletei love the names ember and aurora, my boyfriend and i are expecting and these helped out a lot. THANKS!! :]
ReplyDeleteI agree. Ember is a beautiful name. My daughter's name is Fern and considering this as a name for baby no. 2 if a girl.
DeleteThese names are cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I consider myself a feminist but there is nothing sexist about recognizing that there is a difference between boys names and girls names.
ReplyDeleteThere is also the girls flower name Bryony, which is my name. :)
ReplyDeleteI suggest Fern.
ReplyDeleteYou can also spell Star like Starr. Great List!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these names, what is funny is my daughters are named Georgia (vintage), Gemma (nature), and Harriet (pioneer)! My name is Rose, so I of course suggest that for a flower name!
ReplyDeleteI know a guy named Diamond. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteWhat about Gale?
