baby naming help

[james_ellery]

We're expecting our first sprog in november after trying for 3 years we hit the jackpot.Thing is we have no idea what to name it , dont know if its a he or she. Maybee a name conected to trees would be nice (not ivy) we quite like rowen but we have a friend called that ,so i thought i'd see what you guys could add to our list.The winner can come and wet the babies head ...

I was told that Phylis, there are other spellings, has a botanical meaning.

When I drove into the parking area for the very first Student Society of Arborculture conference the woman who was directing traffic name was Samara. She said that her parents weren't biology/botanists but they liked the sound of the word.

Be careful that you don't come up with a name that could become a millstone around your child's neck.

Charlotte for girl

Harry for boy

 

[easyphloem]

Valcor for a boy
(Valcor was that flying dog from Neverending Story)

Ruby for a girl

Orenthal James?
Phil

Best of luck. The only suggestion I have is to NOT tell anyone what you finally decide on. Very few people seem to have a problem telling you everything wrong with your name choice. Tell them after the baby is born, at that point it would be rude of them to say anything derogatory. This will save you a lot of second guessing! Other than that, you can't go wrong with a classic.

Are any of those tree related or just random??

Only thing I can come up with is if it is a girl name her Gleditsia (Honeylocust). Kinda a pretty name.

 

[Colin]

How 'bout Valerie? It would go nicely with the last name.

 

[Zac]

What about Bucket? That would work for either!

Holly
Laurel
Carolina
Ashley
Stella
Scarlet
Harley
Savannah
Martha


Filbert
Fraser
Colorado
Douglas
Franklin
Linden


And more if you pull part of the trees common name

Best to you and your family with this new addition.

You won't be the only one struggling with that name! LOL.

I don't know. I kinda like Rhys!

We have a Willow (though it's a middle name cause the Mister is a bit of a traditionalist)

And I love Celtic names like Owen (not Eoin) and Colm and a bunch of others. Rowen is very cool, too. We went to the cottage in NH with a pad of paper, 2 pencils and The Baby Name Book to choose our first child's names. It put an end to the brutal ribbing we were giving each other about the names we were picking out!

Wow, very exciting for you. The best of luck! Let us all know what you decide upon!

Me and my lady are set on the middle name "Cassanova" for a boy. And if you think I'm kidding just ask her. That would make the name _____ Cassanova Kennedy
