Nature Name for 3rd Boy

kkradke · August 5, 2024, 3:00pm

Hi, I am expecting our third son and at a lost for his name! My other boys have nature names; Reed and Clay. And would like to follow a similar theme of a short and sweet boy nature name.

The issue is many people close to us have names that would work, but we can’t use. This includes: Finn (their dad), Cole, Wesley, River, Forrest, Jasper, Briar, Clovis, Leo, Colt, Wren

Thank you for any advise or opinions!

Edit: The only ideas I have had so far are usually disliked by my family as “too out there” ex. Lichen, Quill, and Otter

Maybe…
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m]
[name_m]Beck[/name_m]
[name_m]Alder[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]

Clay and Reed are great. Both familar and down to earth. I can see why it would be a challenge to find a third name like that. There are only so many familar nature names before you have to branch out into unfamilar territory.

Suggestions I haven’t seen in the thread:

Stone
Thorne
Loch
Hollis
Palmer
Teal
Marlin
Grove
