Nature Baby Names

Nature names draw from the world around us: flowers, trees, rivers, seasons, animals and the sky. They have a warmth and earthiness that feels grounded and poetic at the same time. Names like Willow, River, Ivy and Rowan sit beautifully in any era.

The appeal of nature names is that they carry built-in imagery. When you hear the name Violet, you picture the flower. When you hear River, you think of flowing water. That visual quality gives these names a richness that purely abstract names sometimes lack.

Nature names work across genders too. Many of the most popular choices, like Sage, Robin and Ash, are comfortably unisex. Browse the full list below to find one that resonates.
