So I know I'm having a baby. I'm not going to name it until I see it. But i would like some ideas first. I like natural names like Rain, Fox, Lily. Names with meaning behind them too.
My boyfriend is Native Candian-Mi'kmaq and I'm of Spanish/French Decent. I really like Mi'kmaq names. Such as Wowkwis(Fox)pron. Wow-Gwis, Muin(bear)pron Moo-in, Pasmay(Peter) pron. Pas-a-meye.
His last name is Knockwood so keep that in mind. I really like the suggestion of tree names but Cedar Knockwood would sound like a cruel joke.
Also, Tradition is not too stong in the Mi'Kmaq culture for naming. Most Mi'Kmaq people nowadays have English names.
So help me get some ideas with meaning behind them!
Thank you in advance.

PS no B names we are both Bs and his son is a B. I really hate when familys do that.
