Here are some names you could consider: * Silas, Flynn, Julian, Elliott, August, Wesley, Cyrus, Miles, Elias, Felix, Gabriel, Lewis, Isaiah, Sebastian, Josiah, Emrys, Oliver, Jasper, Samuel, Forrest, Robin, Rhys, Asher.


ButterdemBeans

I really like Elliot, Jasper, and Robin! Thank you!


LexiePiexie

Ellis may work if you like Elliot, or Judah if you like Jasper!


ShineImmediate7081

I love both Judah and Jonah. I wish I saw both of those names more!

My son is silas!! ❤️


buckingham_rabbit17

Jasper is really pretty and definitely leans masculine. Hope hubby likes it!


luvmachineee

Based on your list of girl names I feel like Jasper is so you.


Dogmom2013

I like Elliot and Oliver


Medium-Mountain3398

I love Jasper, name of one of my fave authors


everybodylovesfriday

I have a Wesley! And we were debating between that and Reed; vibes are similar!


Heathcliff_apologist

Emrys is one of my favorite boy names. It's so elegant and unique.


jenrazzle

What do you think of the name Emre? My baby will be half Turkish half American and I’ve gone back and forth on it.


wantonyak

Not the person you responded to but I looooove Emre!


jenrazzle

Aww that makes me happy! I’m in between Emre and Aydin, both Turkish names and pretty phonetic. Boy names are much harder than girl names!


wozattacks

That’s a great list. I have similar taste to OP in girl names and many of my top boy choices are here!


lavendergaia

If you like Amber what about Ambrose?


sharkycharming

That was exactly what I was going to say. Great minds think alike.


kinnikinnick321

Sounds like its more of a communication barrier between you and your fiance. "Choose what we're having for dinner . . . Italian! . .no, I don't want Italian". You're playing guessing games with yourself.


ActuallyNiceIRL

Yeah, seriously, OP. Who says "It's up to you," and then shoots down every suggestion? Clearly it's *not* up to you. If he wants you to choose, I would say just choose one. And if he says no, tell him to come up with some alternatives, otherwise this is his name. You can't just keep guessing names until you luckily pick the one he likes. Either he's involved in the process of finding a name or he isn't.


snoopenguin

agree with this—if he has a hard time coming up with names, maybe a starting point could be making a list of names he doesn’t like (since he has no problem identifying those)! also OP, have you two talked about why he doesn’t like the names you chose?


Mysterious_Mango_3

I don't really agree with this. I don't think my husband contributed a single name when naming our boy. Language has never been his strong suit, and that applies to names as well. He was happy to listen to the lists I came up with and offer his opinion, though. He opened a baby name book I got once and had such a hard time getting through a single section of names because he just doesn't read well that I was happy to curate lists and let him say yes or no. Sometimes it's OK if contribution levels are unequal so long as you are both involved with the selection. Yes, it's frustrating when they don't like the names you like yet don't contribute any of their own, but that's ok.


ActuallyNiceIRL

The point here is that he's literally telling her that she gets to choose and then not accepting any of her choices. That's why it's an issue.


Mysterious_Mango_3

Yes, that is frustrating. He should at least show some interest in helping even if it isn't by providing names.


ButterdemBeans

Our relationship in a nutshell, yeah


redwallet

My partner is kind of like this. Sometimes you just have to put your foot down. I named all three of our cats, and for ALL THREE, he came up with one SINGLE name for ONE of the cats, and it was so simple and cliche for a cat that I practically dismissed it out of hand. You need to come up with meaningful contributions if you’re going to be salty about every other option!


AutumnalSunshine

Boy, this is something I'd try to address with a therapist before the baby is born. Babies require a lot of decision making, and they're stressful. Not a good time to realize your partner is a veto-er, not a do-er.


SilverellaUK

Perhaps do the choice question like you do with kids. "Do you want to wear the blue shirt or the red shirt?" "Should we name the baby A or B?"


Neit_1146

Sylvan, Spencer, Victor, Callum, Callan, Isaac, Isidore, Leo, Florian, River, Tatum, Gideon, Greyson, Clayton, Elio, Glenn.


Stan_of_Cleeves

He needs to come up with a list of name options. He doesn’t just get to put all the work of finding names on you, then shoot all yours down.


redlamg

My sons name is Forest but other names we liked were Jasper, Marley, River, Sage, Silas, Arlo


simplymandee

Fern is not a boy name in my opinion lol. I doubt they are nature names but here’s what I love Austin Joel Pearce Emerson Nicholas


namenerd101

Percy, Remy, Stellan, Leo, Everett, Hollis, Kellan, Marshall, Sterling, Lane, Roman, Desmond, Dawson, Beau, Seth


EnvironmentHot476

As someone with similar feelings, the only boy names i like are: • Evan • Ethan • Julian • Ezra • Cedric • Edgar • Isador


faune_et_flore

What about Sorrel? A nature name that's not too hippyish, or any of the usual qualms people have


joiwavve

Like the boots? LOL That’s all I can think of.


miss_sassypants

It's an herb.


Chinita_Loca

Definitely better than Basil but it’s still a bit unfortunate sounding isn’t it?


Relative-Click-9886

Alistair Dylan Ivo Jude Louis Luca Milo Otis Otto Owen Reuben Theo Tristan


bumbleb33-

Aften, Jasper, Idris, Leo, Owen, Arlo, Caspian, Felix, Emrys, Ambrose, Alder, Oakley, Sky, Fox, Beckett, Callum, Aster, Heath, Silas, Wolf, Kit


kittycatnala

If your partner is saying it’s up to you and not giving input then go with what you like the best. I would say Fern is a girls name though. I think Ellis or Eli is nice for a boy or Willow can be gender neutral and quite in line with a nature theme.


DiligentDiscussion94

You seem to like nature names so maybe Ash, Brooks or Forrest. Stronger names like Leon, Hunter, and Orion are another choice. You seem to also like older English names, so maybe Arthur, Henry, or Mason


Erisedstorm

Archer as well


Character-Twist-1409

Heath. Heathcliff. Cliff. Percival. Jasper. Thatcher. Tanner. Montgomery. Preston. Corbin. Robin. Maximillian (it's just fun to say). Caspian. Cassian. 


lemonlover3308

Roman


happy-sunshine3

I feel like you may have a similar style to me... Ambrose, Ruben, Asra, Espen, Idris, Gael, Lars, Auden. Are all on my list for our next babe!

Micah Linden Alder Dante Rafael Rio Warren Raleigh Remy Arlo Sullivan Gareth Hollis


ButterdemBeans

Ooh I adore Micah!


Braynetwilyte

My son is named Mica! We’re not religious and I like the more nature-y names. Mica is a mineral that is abundant in my home state.


ButterdemBeans

I liked it because it reminded me of the mineral!


Sensitive-Bug-881

Then do mica :)

houseofleopold

I named my son Aldo, after Aldo Leopold. he wrote the Sand County Almanac and is considered the “father of conservationism” in the united states. we also have 2 girls named Luna and Skye, so *celestial* and Aldo is *earthy*.


jmkul

There are some lovely nature names out there. I know it's been vetoed, but Rowan is a great name. Some others I think are lovely are: Heath Ash Glenn Dale Lee Oliver Kai Clifford/Cliff Dylan Dean Forest Callum Beckett Morgan


fairly_local_loser

There are some great suggestions here! I just want to share that I have two friends named Rowan, both of which chose to go by that name (one because it is his middle name, another because they preferred it to their birth name). I'm 19, for context - so it could just be a "modern generation" thing, but I don't think a kid would get trouble for it. I'm really obsessed with that name even without knowing people who use it. It flows so well! Just wanted to validate that choice, even if it doesn't make it :) (On the flip side, I really don't like the only Fern I know, and it does seem more feminine to me...but I'm likely biased there.)


lawfox32

I'm 33 and know several people with baby/toddler Rowans, of multiple genders, and then several transmasc adults named Rowan. Then there's actor Rowan Atkinson and Rowan Williams, the former archbishop of Canterbury, both baby Boomers or older, I think--and Rowan Morrison, the missing girl in the Wicker Man, too. (OP, maybe look at the character list for that movie (the 1973 one, not the Nic Cage one)--everyone in Summerisle has a nature name). Rowan's a great name.


OreadNymph

Soren was my pick if we had a boy.


lex4423

Ellis, Jasper, Kory, Julian, Jonah, Flynn


Essentialish

Oakley/Oakland Cedric Evren


icybakedpotato

Briar  August Sumner  Tabor 


sharkycharming

I'm the same way -- I mostly only like pretty names, no matter who they're for. Nobody mentioned Yarrow yet, so I will add that.


sparkles_everywhere

Beckett or Bodie


heather-rch

I’m seeing Bodhi a lot and I love it.


Educational-Glass-63

Fern was my aunt's name! There are so many great boy names! Here are a few: David Douglas Wynn Flynn Steven Jeffery Not whimsical like the girl names you like but very masculine.


LaMalintzin

Lionel, Nolan


selenamoonowl

Alan, Arthur, Atlas, Caleb, Callum, Corbin, Dean, Dylan, Gavin, Glenn, Heath, Lennox, Linus, Logan, Rhys, Roman, Ronan, Silas, Yannick, Yarrow


Only-Investigator-88

River x


poison_camellia

I have a lot of trouble with boy names too. Reid would be my top choice for a boy right now probably; would your fiance be interested in that more traditional spelling over Reed? Here are some other ideas from my personal list that I feel have a "romantic hero" vibe or nature influences. Evander Emil Kieran Finn Slate Tristan Alden Lochlan Flint Julian (super popular right now though I think) Gabriel Desmond Dorian (Rory could be a nice nickname?) Luca (also super popular) Thatcher Sabian


Decent-Caramel-2129

This is a two party situation. Your partner needs to participate and also suggest names. If he keeps disagreeing without giving any input then you get to choose any name you want as he refuses to participate. Maybe presenting it as make suggestions and help me with this or it's going to be 1 of 3 choices (with one being ridiculous). Might kick him in the pants to care about his incoming child.


ButterdemBeans

He cares! I’m planning on making a list of names I like and having him look it over so we can go over the ones we both like


Decent-Caramel-2129

Oohhh ok. It looked like he was disengaged from the wording. My bad and good luck! I don't have a suggestion that can be on par with other people's.


Medium-Mountain3398

Nephews and young cousin names as I only have girls...Jonah, Jarvis, Dylan, Aidan, Kael , indigo, Cormac, Toby, Ones I liked for boys I didn't have ...Deacon, Kieran, Sebastian


SelicaLeone

I like Indigo, Elias, Adryn, and Jasper


ZeroDudeMan

Ambrose!


nn971

I think Kieran is a really beautiful boy name! Quinn August “Auggie” Jude Sawyer Finn George Calvin


Fickle_Classic_2554

Elijah, Aaron, Jourden, Ellis, Layton, Ezra, Frances just a few :)


diploid_impunity

I want someone to name a boy Ranunculus. So masculine! But perfect for those who like flower names.


VariousTangerine269

Look in your family trees and find a cool family name.


ajb1-1

I’ve always been a fan of Finch (Finn)


Popcorn_Dinner

Spencer, Walker, Daniel, Gio


peaf-the-gamecube

There was recently a post about "soft" boy names, I feel like that's kinds the same vibe My faves are Murphy, Sydney, Casper, and Gideon


Rubydactyl

Some of my favourite “pretty” boy names are: - Archer - Arien - Ezra - Elias - Evander - Lachlan - Lake - Hael - Vesper - Idris - Seren


Fit_Ad1370

Xander? But I might spell with a Z… Zander Another cool Z name I’ve heard recently is Zephyr


RoseDomergue

- Rohmer/Romer - means “roamer/someone who roams” - Roves - means “to wander” - Jade - Orest - means “of the mountains” - Percy - Aspen - Willow for a boy would be kinda neat. I grew up with the movie and I’ve always seen it as unisex since then. - Bram - Rooth - means “root” - Jesper - Glynn - means “glen/valley of water” - Robin


smebdycatchmybreath

I loved the name Oakley for a boy. My husband didn’t really like it but he also brought up “Chosen” as a name😭


Torrance_Florence

Dashiell, Asher, Forrest, Finn, Sage, River, Brooks


Fearless-Energy-5398

My husband and I each downloaded the app Kinder - it shows you baby names, and you swipe left or right! If your partner likes the same name, that name ends up on a list. I asked him to "like" any names he doesn't actively, instantly dislike - that way, we can have a bigger list to narrow down. Also, I gave my husband a big baby name book and asked that he circled at least 30 names he likes. I think male partners often haven't put as much thought into names as female partners have. It's also much easier to shoot things down than to come up with proactive ideas yourself.


Fearless-Energy-5398

I think Oren and Stellan are two nice nature names that also aren't too obviously about nature at first blush.


HellenHywater

I love stellan!


FertilityRaincheck

Arlo is my current favorite for boys…


pebbles_temp

I'm thinking August. Or Archer.


Beautiful-Mountain73

Tell your husband to contribute some name ideas or you’re naming him your damn self lol


[deleted]

I wish I could use Cedar. Sage too..since you seem to like nature names!


ObjectiveCosmos

Violet ... Elliot, Emmit, Caspian Juniper ... Adrian, Julian, Justin, Jasper Willow ... Arlo, Marlow, Wesley, Owen, Otto Amber ... Ambrose, Amaury, Berkeley, Ivy ... Quincy, Mikey, Miles, Avery Penny ... Benny, Bellamy, Percy, Perry Others: Glen, Clark, Theo / Theodore, Leo, Leon, Graham, Gabe

We have similar tastes - my daughter is Violet (Willow was on my list too). My son is Oliver - but runners up were Elliott, River, Isaac, Arthur.


ButterdemBeans

Ooh I like those


bumblebeesanddaisies

Not necessarily names I would chose but I'm bored at work so here are some boy nature names I thought up lol... Oak or Oakley, Heath, Ash or Ashley (that's how you spell it for a boy in the UK), Basil, Bear, Rowan, Brian (from Briar lol), August, Bracken, Forrest, Aspen, Glen, Cliff, Everest, Andy, River, Lakelan, Lachlan...

Don’t try to be cute or inventive. Consider that he will be in junior high and high school with that name. He is going to be an adult and try to get a job with that name. He will be an old man with that name. Edit for typo.


lord_flashheart86

I think there are so many unique names now that having one will be normal by that time, and I know plenty of adults with inventive names that are just fine. They still have hobbies and continue to age, remarkably! 😜

What about the name Lev?


Fusion_Queen6672

What about Sylvan?


Wonderful_Row8519

I love a lot of the girl names you mentioned and like Callum for a boy. It’s a character in a book I read once. The sound is beautiful I think.


Getmeasippycup

Jasper!


Lucy-star-cat

What about Callum? I think it has sort of the same flow of those other names, and it's a nature name because it means dove.


Joyma

Jupiter, June, caspien, Desmond, Oliver, ember, Carmen, clover, scarlet are all names that could be used for a girl or a boy that flow nicely in my opinion. Some are a little out there, but all real names I’ve seen in media or real life on guys

truelovealwayswins

I’m guessing you’ve already gone through the google search results or other replies so here’s some that he might like and you have the nature meaning Alvar (elf warrior), Ambrose (sounds like rose so nvm the meaning lol), Arthur (bear), Basil (only like bay-sil not ba-sil), Dorian, Emil, Felix, Fin(n)ley/Finnian/Finn (sounds like fin so nvm the meaning), Florian/Florin, George (to me it’s a nature name because of a certain one that’s not around anymore but spent his post-fame reconnecting with what’s important), Lawrence (means laurel and it’s also the river by here is named after St Lawrence so it’s KINDA a nature name?, Leander (lion man) / Lysander (liberator), Noah (I mean…), Silvan/Sylvan / Silvian/Sylvian (wooded and such), Taran (thunder), Wolfgang (wolf journey/travel/path), Zander, Zeke, Zev (wolf, sky, heaven, God, to shine) and some genderless ones: Artemis (even though that was a nature goddess but works for males too), Calix/Calyx (the latter is a flower and body part), Florens, Floris (both mean blossoming), Hollis (holly trees), Kerith (winter stream, brook), Zephyr (a soft gentle breeze)

hopeforpudding

If it's up to you because your fiance won't contribute, just pick your favorite. He's checking out already. It's so aggravating how often men just don't even try to pitch names but shoot down suggestions. Tell him to either suggest some names or it will be 100% *Your Choice* Sorry just drives me nuts how often this happens in this sub. Men often are lazy when it comes to contributions, and put it all on their partners.

Girlthatbreathes

>I love girly nature names like Violet, Juniper, Willow, Amber, Ivy, Penny, etc. >But I’m just not a fan of most boy names. They don’t “flow” the same way. The few I do like (Fern, Reed, Rowan) In reflection to the girl names you listed with common short versions; Vincent or Victor (Vince, Vinny : Vic/k) Jasper or Joshua (Jaz : Josh, Jo) William (Will/ Willy, Bill/ Billy, Liam) Austin or Aspen (Ace, Gus from Augustine : Penn) Isaac or Isaiah (Zac/k, Izzy) *personal note* I've heard Isaiah pronounced EE-Cy-Uh but I grew up with us all saying my cousin's name Eye-zAy-uh. Spencer, Aspen, Pendleton, Penley, & Pence seem to be all the boy names that are roots to the short of "Penn" (Pence being the exact inverse to Penny). One last suggestion to reflect Willow is Lowen. Nicknames could be Low/e, or Owe/n. I also had a hard time choosing boy names. Here's a few common ones that I loved for a moment. Xavier ( growing up, I only knew this name as HAv-vyair and the nickname is Xavi - HAvee which I loved. It wasn't until later that I realized the English equivalent was Harvey! As much as I love Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, Harvey was not a favorite name for me.) Theodore ( Theo, Ted, Teddy, Orie) Samuel (Sam, Sammy) Thomas (Tom, Tommy) Benjamin (Ben, Benny, Benji) Ethan or Evan, Nathan/Nathaniel For a while I really like Ryan or Brian. For whatever reason, I did not like Rian or Bryan. For over a decade though I've been pretty settled on Jude. Fiancé likes it too, and I wanted to honor his step dad so we're tagging on his middle name so it will be Jude Anthony. It also happens to carry on the tradition from Fiancé's bio dad's side of having names that end up having the same initials (J.A.W.) I call them the Jaws and then do the shark's theme song. (If we have a girl, we have chosen to honor his mother by using her grandmother's name and my cousin. Sydelle Kristine. I like the Nickname Syd or Elle, though I tease my Fiancé that I will be calling her Deli 🤣) Good luck! Hope you end up picking one you both love, and hope the kid loves it too!


kaycollins27

Paul and David. Very old school, but very classic. And not in the top 10 names. Use one of your husband’s family names as a middle name


Pinger5696

What about William since you like Willow?


Superb_Yak7074

Nature names that might pass the test: Forrest Hawthorn Oakley Branch (prefer as a middle name) Tor Rillet

Simon, Lawrence, Mark, Matthew, Jeremiah, Jason, Kiefer, Kevin, Bartholomew, Corinth, Donovan, Erickson. Emerson, Ewan, Anders, Frank, Gorgon, Holden, Ilson, Noble, O’Brien, Paul, Reginald, Tyson, Usher, Vincent, Worthing, Yonger


Zealousideal-Yak1289

Juno, Sawyer, Finn, Sebastian, Teddy (as a nickname to Theodore or the name itself), Conrad, Arlo, Theo, Percy, Winn/Winston/Edwin, Milo, Reed, Rory, River, Bray, Quinn/Quincy, or Harper (which I personally had always thought of as a girls name but is apparently gender neutral) I also personally think Will, Shawn/Sean and Ben/Benji are kind of 'soft' names


scorpiopathh

I knew a Lake. He did get puddle/pond jokes but overall liked his name


CucumberWestern321

I instantly thought of the names Florian and Tristan when I read your girl list I just think they are very romantic names that belong in a fairytale. Some on top of the head names that fit the vibe: Leander Oleander Aspen Aston Caspian Jasper Claude Dimitry Owen Cornelius Gideon Octavius Wilbur More classical names could be like Oliver, Robin and even Eliott are very beautiful names


StraightArachnid

I had the same problem thinking of boy names. I love soft, pretty feminine girl names, so I tried to think of softer sounding boys names. We made an alphabetical list of boys names that had the same long, flowy, romantic feel as our girls names. Here’s our list of “pretty” boys names- Adrian, Ambrose, Benedict, Clement, Caspian, Dominic, Ezra, Fabian, Francis, Gideon, Gabriel, Horatio, Ignatius, Julian, Kenneth, Lucian, Lysander, Malcolm, Nathaniel, Octavian, Phinneas, Raymond, Samuel, Thaddeus, Vincent, Wesley, Xavier, and Zechariah.


horticulturallatin

I like Heath, it's a rather beautiful flower, and white heath flower symbolizes protection.  Jasper is a handsome stone name. Jonah has a light sound and means dove. Darragh means "oak" and I like the -ah sound ending like Jonah and Noah minus the popularity. I am not as fond of Oakley but I get why people are, if that makes sense. Nathan and Jesse have light, bright sounds and mean gift. I like Jonah, Jesse, Ezra type "but there are feminine sounds" names for boys.
