Am I losing it-- boy name Birch

Is Birch completely crazy for a boy name? We have a name (or two, depending on the day), and I think I'm just getting antsy in my last few weeks of being pregnant. With my first son, we picked his name in the last week and I was in love with it. This time, I 95% love it, and there's a small part of me that thinks we should consider other options.
FWIW, our style is a bit unique. We don't want top 100, we want a simple name that is nickname proof. The name we've semi-settled on is Brooks.
Is Birch ridiculous?

Ya I thought the same thing.
I think Brooks is better than Birch.
I hear ya on second guessing yourself though. I started second guessing DD's name about two weeks before she was born. However, we were team green and totally thought we were having a boy, so I tried not to stress. Turns out, she is a little girl and I love the name that we had chosen for her!

While Birch would fit in with the naming style in Portland, I think Brooks is probably the better choice.
Birch is awfully close to b*tch imo.

I used to know a guy named Birch...he was far from granola. I also know a little girl named Cedar. I kinda like the tree names in theory...but I'm far too much of a traditionalist to actually name my future kids that.
This post will probably come back to bite me. I totally foresee this being dug up when I post some ridiculous hippie name.
I can only think of a tree when I hear Birch. sorry. I like that you are sticking with your criteria of no top 100s and nn proof, though. IMO it's much better than Brayden or Jaylon, etc.
