Names like Vespertine

Boy Names
1

I’m looking for more names like Vespertine, which I love as a middle for a boy. I’m often drawn to longer, feminine sounding names for middles, as well as names with a bit of an offbeat, nature vibe.

So I’m thinking 2+ syllables, leans feminine (possibly even used for girls traditionally), nature connection and a bit out there (in the way Vespertine is “out there” - I wouldn’t consider [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] or [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] strange enough, although I love both those names).

What comes to mind?
