Willow and River are on my GP list (DH has firmly vetoed both).
I also really like some of the less-common flower/plant names (as in Dahlia & Laurel rather than Rose & Violet).

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
I like most flower names (i.e. Lily, Rose, Dahlia) and Iris was a runner up for us. Besides that, others I like but would probably never use are Willow, Wren, Winter, Sage, Magnolia.....I don't really have any that I like for boys though.</P
My favorites for girls are Willow, Wren, Summer and Autumn. My DD's NN is Birdie! The only boy name I can think of is Sterling and I absolutely love it.
Summer is on our top five list. All the others have been vetoed.

I've always loved the nicnkame Bird/Birdie - but would never consider it as a given name. Wren is another GP name of mine.

Rainbow Surprise Baby due 05/26/2017
For girls--Fern, Summer, Hazel, Laurel, Amaryllis.
For boys--Rowan. Hawkins is a GP, and that has somewhat of an animal connection. Not big on earthy names for boys.
Boys: Cole, Trent and Oriongp. My son's are Trent and Ryan which is close enough! Cole was a runner name.
I like Ast
Magnolia, Luna, Iris, Marigold, Lavender.
Can't think of any boy names that are strictly earthy unless Griffin counts.
I'm a sucker for nature names, especially for girls...
River (girl), Winter (nn Winnie), Rose, & Luna
DH vetod Winter but I'm still pushing for River if we have a girl
