Well I loved everyone’s suggestions in my thread for Name Themes. But I think I might go with the Nature Theme. However I had an idea that instead of using obvious nature names (like [name]Rain[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Ash[/name], [name]Oak[/name], [name]Cedar[/name], [name]River[/name], blah blah blah) I could use names that have a nature meaning.
Those are the kind of names I’m looking for. [name]Do[/name] you have any ideas??
Girls:
[name]Chelsea[/name] (from a surname that means “camp meadow”)
[name]Ciel[/name] (French “sky”)
Irmak (Turkish “river”)
[name]Shannon[/name] (from Gaelic “old, wise” and “river”, also after [name]River[/name] [name]Shannon[/name])
[name]Hana[/name] (Japanese “flower”)
[name]Esther[/name] (one definition is “star” in Persian)
[name]Sora[/name] (Japanese “sky”)
[name]Fleur[/name] (French “flower”)
[name]Hollis[/name] (from English surname meaning “holly tree”)
[name]Ione[/name] (from Greek ion, meaning “violet flower”)
[name]Astra[/name] (English, from Greek aster, meaning “star”)
[name]Lorelei[/name] (from Germanic mythology meaning “luring rock”)
[name]Ashley[/name] (from English surname meaning “ash tree clearing”)
[name]Sierra[/name] (Spanish for “mountain range”)
Boys:
[name]Dallas[/name] (from a Scottish surname meaning “meadow dwelling”)
[name]Citlali[/name] (Native American - Nahuatl - “star”)
[name]Riad[/name] (Arabic “gardens, meadow”)
[name]Craig[/name] (from Scottish word meaning “crag”, or “rock”)
Kelani (Hawaiian “heaven, sky”)
[name]Oren[/name] (Hebrew “pine tree”)
[name]Douglas[/name] (from Scottish word for “dark river”)
[name]Palmer[/name] (from Latin for “palm tree”)
[name]Montana[/name] (from Latin meaning “mountain”)
[name]Lin[/name] (Chinese for “forest” and “gem”)
[name]Arvid[/name] (from Scandinavian word meaning “eagle” and “tree”)
[name]Grover[/name] (from English surname meaning “grove” or “grove of trees”)
[name]Wesley[/name] (from surname meaning “west meadow”)
