Floral names

[sakuya-baby.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine brought up that all of my girl's names are floral names - Dahlia, Lily, Rose, etc. but I'm confused on names for boys. I was thinking of continuing that theme. Are there plant/floral names that would work for boy names that I'm just not thinking of?? Help!

The only one I could really think of that's strictly floral is maybe Heath (like the male version of Heather). I would use more nature-themed names for boys. Flowers are just inherently feminine to me. So maybe more botanical, like Ash (ash tree) or Oakley (oak tree).

I love Ash, thank you. Idk, I was hoping that maybe someone would know better than me with the varied names for flowers, if one could be used for a boy.

OMG Linden.... I'm in love! *Adds to name list* It's perfect! Forrest.... how did I not think of that?! Thank you!

Omg perfect.....

I think Basil is pronounced bazzul, though. I've never heard it (as a name) with an American accent so I don't know if it's different than the herb or not. (I mean, maybe the English pronounce the name and the herb the same, but I've never heard the name Basil prounounced by an American, so I don't know if it becomes Bay-sil).

I want to like this one, but I don't wanna chance a personality/name happening XD

Thank you!

Ash, Forrest, Reed, Alder, Aster, Sage are ones I can find through a quick Google.

Thank you! Yeah, I was hoping there would be an actual flower that might have a male name to it, but I love the botanical sect so much, thank you. I never considered Aster, I love it. Grazie!

I like the name Oleander for a boy :) Kind of a hybrid of Oliver and Alexander, and it's naturey too!

Sage and Linden are the only ones that come right to mind, both of which I love.
