Hello!
I was wondering if you could help add to my list of names with nature-esque meanings. I like the nature connection, but am not a fan of actual nature word names, for my personal naming style.
For example, I like [name_f]Eira[/name_f] (Snow) and [name_m]Fennec[/name_m] (Fox), but not [name_f]Snow[/name_f] or [name_m]Fox[/name_m] themselves.
Would love ideas for both genders, but particularly boys.
Besides [name_f]Eira[/name_f] and [name_m]Fennec[/name_m], some that I already have are [name_m]Calder[/name_m] (rocky stream), [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] (elm), [name_f]Isla[/name_f] (island), [name_f]Arden[/name_f] (valley of the eagle), and [name_f]Rue[/name_f] (herb).
Thank you!

I like the names with nature meanings too!
Some of my favorites:
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - lion
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - bear
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] - dove
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] - dove
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m] - dove (why are there so many great names that mean dove?)
[name_f]Solana[/name_f] - sunshine
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - olive tree
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] - little green shoot
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f] - snow
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] (twin flower or lime tree? Going off nameberry meaning but I thought it was a flower)
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] (flower)
[name_f]Apricity[/name_f] (sun on the snow)
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m] (bee hive, little brook or bee cottage)
[name_m]Vernon[/name_m] (place of alders)
[name_f]Seren[/name_f] is such a lovely name. I’ve never hear of [name_f]Araluen[/name_f] or Lochren before, thank you 
I like Lupa too. Makes me think of [name_m]Lupin[/name_m] (Harry Potter) or [name_f]Lupita[/name_f] N’yongo, both lovely associations for me.
I also really like [name_f]Vale[/name_f] and [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]. [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] might be too adventurous for my tastes, but I’m liking the idea of [name_m]Perry[/name_m] as a nickname.

@aylacoggins This is a really wonderful list. I love that there are some very vintage choices, modern choices and unique choices. Alouette is really beautiful, as is Soleil. I’m vibing on Jonas too.
@somemelodioussonnet My husband absolutely loves Iona. I can’t quite get over the sound of I-own-a, but it’s growing on me. Soraya is stunning.
@Greyblue I’ve never heard of quite a few of these. I’m really like Suvi and Armel in particular.
@Dragonrescuer Corbin is one of my favourites. I’m adding Thorin to the list too.
@Victory55 Ooh Aubrette. I know quite a few Aubrey’s but I love this option. I’m adding Gaia and Ronan too.
@lucy_halo1 Solana is lovely and Lumi is so sweet. I didn’t know Callum meant dove, and you’re right, there seems to be quite a few names that do.
@All.the.names Wow, Apricity. I’m not sure I like the sound but the meaning is really gorgeous.
