I’m collecting names that connect to farming, like [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] but maybe less on-the-nose… I would likely use such a name in the middle, paired with a more classic/vintage first name.
Thank you in advance!
Maybe [name_u]Harvest[/name_u]?

Some of these might be too on-the-nose for you, but…
Bauer – “farmer, tiller of the soil”
[name_m]Beresford[/name_m] – “ford where barley grows”
[name_m]Boyer[/name_m] – “bow maker, cattle herder”
[name_m]Colter[/name_m] / [name_m]Colton[/name_m] – “colt herder” (or you could just use [name_m]Colt[/name_m])
[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] / [name_m]Demetrius[/name_m] / etc. – from [name_u]Demeter[/name_u], Greek goddess of the harvest, grains and fertility of the earth
[name_m]Drover[/name_m]
[name_m]Fielder[/name_m]
[name_u]George[/name_u] – “farmer, earth worker”
[name_m]Granger[/name_m]
[name_u]Harvest[/name_u]
[name_u]Howard[/name_u] – possibly from a name meaning “ewe herder”
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m] – “one who looks after horses”
[name_m]Miller[/name_m]
[name_m]Winfield[/name_m] – “meadow, pasture, field”
A lot of -by names have farming in their meaning: [name_u]Ashby[/name_u], [name_m]Digby[/name_m], [name_u]Rigby[/name_u], [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]…
