We just found out we're having a baby girl! Our daughter's name is Juniper and my husband has thrown out the suggestion of Maple for this baby. At first I thought he was crazy, but now the name is growing on me. I've suggested the name Mabel as it sounds very similar, but he doesn't seem to be a fan. I'm beginning to really like Maple, but I'm worried is it too much having both of our girls named after trees? My husband is a forester and we both love nature themed names, but not sure if it's just too bizarre?
I would stick with the nature theme but maybe not another tree.. Seems a bit much. And honestly I don't think Maple works well as a first name. Maybe a MN?
Too bad your husband doesn't like Laurel! It is by far my favorite naturey name (and it's also a very "legit" name that works well in the professional world). I agree that names like Lake, Poppy, etc. sound pretty silly.
Other than Laurel, I like Iris, Fern, Ivy, Willow, and Wren.
I wouldn't do Maple, Willow, Magnolia, or any other tree names. Nature names I like with Juniper: Ivy, Autumn, Clementine, Violet, Lily, Wren, and maybe Meadow.
NOOOOOO. I feel like we had a thread about this before. Juniper is lovely and very unique. Find a different nature-inspired name (that is actually a name) and go with it.
Maple makes me think of syrup first .... Aster Calla Daisy Eve Holly Ivy Brooke Iris Magnolia Violet Lily Rose Sage Summer Sylvia (means wooded) Indigo (just my favorite hippie name) Willow
