Nature Name for DD2, help please!

29 replies

We are expecting DD2 in early April.

DD1 is Hazel.

DH would like another loosely based earthy/nature themed but not too matchy.

He has come up with Celeste (means heavenly). I can't decide, what do you think??

I have thought about:
Iris/Ivy: too trendy? Also think too matchy with Hazel.
Poppy/Daisy/Rosie: too cutesy and too popular
Stella/Estelle/Violet: I love DH hates.
Heather: too matchy with Hazel.

Any other suggestions?
What do you think of Celeste?
Middle names for Celeste? I was thinking:

  • Celeste Elizabeth
  • Celeste Opthelia
  • Celeste Verity



Thanks!

What about Erica/Erika - it means Heather, but is a little more unusual, like Hazel.
Or Fern/Fearne
Or Willow

Erika is my favourite of these, but there are loads of nature names to choose from.

I love Rowan as a girl's name.

Also LOVE Rowan Drama sadly DH has vetoed and our surname ends in -an and is also 2 syllables so it might not go brilliantly with that.

DD1 was almost Willow, then I started to worry it was too trendy! Definately along the right lines there!

I like Celeste and Fearne. And I know it's not a nature name but I think Hazel and Faith sounds nice.

We were thinking of Sable as its different and very nature inspired. But im not totally convinced. Yet!!

Hazel and Sable don't really sounds very good together.

I like Celeste, unusual, go for it. Elizabeth is my favourite of the middle names you gave. The others seem a bit of a mouthful imo.

I know a Rowan and love the name, although the first question I asked her on hearing her name was 'were your parents hippies?' she smiled politely and said yes.... She probably should have given me a slap...
I know a rain and fawn too. I think fawn is beautiful.

So very helpful, thank you!

Had though of Laurel, but worry that with the -el endings its too much with Hazel IYSWIM. But a lovely name.

I have added Robin, Astrid to the short list.

LOVE Amber whoever suggested that but it rhymes with our surname and sounds ridiculous.
