I’m in need of some boys name inspiration, and am finding myself drawn towards botanical names.
So, share with me all you best botanical names for boys! Especially interested in rare/ unusual/ not often used as a name, and names you’d expect to be used for girls, but may be surprised to see on a boy.
I like [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_u]Willow[/name_u] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u] (if that counts) as much for boys as for girls. I also like [name_f]Persimmon[/name_f] and [name_f]Celandine[/name_f] more as masculine names, especially [name_f]Persimmon[/name_f].
Some others:
[name_u]Melilot[/name_u]
Pyracantha
[name_m]Salix[/name_m]
[name_m]Calix[/name_m]
Larch
[name_u]Vetiver[/name_u]
This is a list I made from the index of my Grandma’s gardening book a couple of years ago:
