Re: Strong Earthy boys names
I don't like nouns for names. That poor child is destined to hate their name unless they become famous. I'm down with Gabriel, Cyrus and Tobias.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
This.
Or Rock. Tree, maybe?
Not a fan of Bear, Cedar, Oak, River, Sun, Moon, or whatever.
Leo and Tobias are kinda cool. I love the name Gabriel.
Probably Silas or Sylas.

Whatever you pick, I'm sure you'll love! And don't let people change your minds if you're set on something! I like the idea of an earthy name but I'm not so sure about some of the "tree" names, some of them may just be too distinguishable for people. Sorry to insert a probably unwanted opinion, but if you're considering earthy names, I've always liked Rowan. It's a type of tree/shrub & may be a little less recognized by people (unlike naming them Oak or Cedar).

Ignore these women. They are of a lower than normal intelligence.
My vote...Brock.
I like Gabriel ok, when I hear Tobias I think...
I actually had a real, honest belly laugh from this. Thank you.

Not on your list, but I like Rowan too.
On your list- Leo
Hmmmm....OH How about mud with twig as the MN?

WOW! See people give their kids a name that is cute or unique and is oooohed and awwwed over for right now but they do not translate into good "Grown up names"! I have an uncle named Buck and he has always hated his name!
Wasn't Uncle Buck a John Candy movie?

I'm partial to Gabriel, because that's my oldest son's name
We have good friends who named their son August because it's a family name and they have a tradition of naming the firstborn son after their paternal grandfather. August is the perfect name for this kid - they call him Auggie for short. I love it!
I'm not a huge fan of Cedar, Cyrus, Tobias or Leyland, but I love the rest.
BAWHAHA!!! Yes it was! He was born in the sixty's though. Grandma thought she was being cute. There apparently was a huge buck out in a field the morning before he was born I don't get it the rest of my aunts and uncles on that side have biblical names.
I guess we all get a little crazy close to delivery though...
Hey
Lets be nice here ladies!
These are names that we like. We live on Vancouver Island and are outdoorsy people who don't mind the idea of envisioning a beautiful old strong Oak tree or something of that nature when we think of our son.
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
ETA- dammit someone beat me to it.
My sister named her 4 boys
Tristan
River
Phoenix
&
Legend!
Can't get much worse than the last 3!! & she gave me shiit about naming my kid Jackson!
The earthy names are definitely NMS, but our neighbor named her son Oakley. And I like that ok...
I like:
Leland
August
Leo
They would all grow up with him, some of the others are destined to bring on the side-eye from people.
I really would skip "bear" as a middle name. And Cedar. River sounds like a girl's name to me... (probably because I watched Firefly... I love it as a girl's name.)
I like Leo & Cyrus the best. Leland sounds a little outdated to me, but that's just me.
I live in B.C too, and currently I know a Moss, Cedar, Winter and Sage.
Anyway, I really like August and Leo. I don't mind any of your name choices except 'Bear' as a middle name.
River Phoenix died of a heroin overdose.
Joaquin (originally named Leaf) Phoenix is BSC and has a gnarly beard.
Earthy names kind of suck.
This is what happens when you average about 1 hour of sleep a night.
Unable to even.

You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK. Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.
I like August and Leo. I like Cedar, but my client's granddaughter is named that so I think of that for a girl more than a guy. Love Rowan and we thought about that name.
If you like earthy that's cool, but I think it does bring up a good point about making sure that if your kid ends up being an accountant or something they'll want a name that grows with them.
