Names for Woodkin Elves?

Writers' Corner
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there! I need some names for the woodkin elves. The Woodkin Elves are a tribe of elves who get their powers, telekinesis, very quick reflexes and extra flexibility, and a sort of connection to the life force of trees and plants of the forest that allows them to control a bit of their growth and movement, from the forest.

Names I have so far:
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f], [name_f]Amaranth[/name_f], [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], [name_u]Briar[/name_u], [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Ebony[/name_f], [name_f]Ilana[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Iantha[/name_f], [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Petal[/name_f], [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], [name_u]Rhian[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Willow[/name_u], [name_f]Xyla[/name_f]

[name_u]Adair[/name_u], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Bramble[/name_m], [name_u]Briar[/name_u], [name_u]Elm[/name_u], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_u]Oleander[/name_u], [name_u]Rhian[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_u]Sorrel[/name_u], [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m], [name_u]Wilder[/name_u], [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]

Any suggestions accepted, but I am mostly looking for word and fantasy names with meanings connected to forest or flora.

That’ll be a fun CAF!!!
