Looking for short, soft, nature-y names

Boy Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries!

I’m looking for help with a name for my little boy on the way, as I’m really struggling and don’t love any of the names on my list to date.

Our criteria:

  • Can’t end with N or start with W, so as not to conflict with last name (rhymes with He-Man)
  • Short name preferred or something with a good nickname
  • Nature-inspired preferred
  • Not too popular

List of names I like (not love) so far - only one of which is nature inspired…
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_m]Zane[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Russ[/name_m]
[name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_m]Graeme[/name_m]

Names that I love but are too rhyme-y with our last name:
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Orin[/name_m]

Any suggestions are appreciated!

These are all exactly on the right track - we have very similar taste, and a lot of them are already on our long list. We’re trying to avoid names that end with “N” so that cuts out a bunch of them, and we’re less keen on the obvious nature names like [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_m]Forest[/name_m].

Thanks so much for the suggestions though!

I do too! Hubby’s not keen on it.

Some great suggestions too. We’re not as keen on obvious nature names for the first name, but some of these might be good middle names. Thanks!
