If you’re searching high and low for nature names that have a special meaning for you, why not use your bond with nature to find a name that is perfect?

Think of the flowers, the plants, the animals, destinations, locations, geography, the solar system and anything else in nature that makes you smile and build your perfect name for your daughter from that.

Choosing a baby name is hard work. And when you really stop and think about it, there’s a reason why more “common” names are more popular than others. Names such as Sarah and Stephanie, although beautiful in their own right, or easy to choose and say. While some people may choose baby names for memories or to honor family members, others choose them based on people that they’ve known and loved in their life.

But what if that thought process were to change? What if you were to choose a baby name based off of places or things in nature that you love? I’m certain we’ve all had those moments when we’re hiking or biking where we just feel total peace and calm sweep over us…in those moments there might be natural names just waiting to be discovered.

WHY CHOOSE NATURE NAMES OVER MORE TRADITIONAL NAMES?

That’s the kicker. Nature names are not only unique, but they’re beautiful as well. Calling someone by the name “Rose” is memorable and has an air of elegance about it, too.

Being someone who has a more unique name, I can honestly say that I enjoy having one that is different than thousands of others in the world. While at times I’d like to have an easier name because of spelling or pronunciation issues, the truth is that having a unique name is pretty darn awesome.

WHAT ARE THE POSITIVES OF HAVING A NATURE NAME FOR GIRLS?

Depending on who you ask, there are always positives associated with having a nature name for girls. If you give your child a name that no one else is going to have, they’re certain to stand out and be remembered. Plus, as they get older, it’s always fun to tell them the meaning behind what their name is and where it came from as well.

WHAT ARE THE NEGATIVES OF HAVING A NATURE GIRL NAME

Just as there are positives, there are negatives that come along also. Some kids tend to make fun of other kids that have names that are different or unique, but this is where you teach your child to be proud of their name and to not let the haters get them down.

Show them from a young age that it’s okay to have a name that isn’t the same as everyone else and let them be proud of that fact. It’s just one more thing that makes them different and stands out amidst the masses of other kids.

Now that you name a bit about why it’s great to be different as far as names go, let’s dive in and talk about some of the top nature names for girls!
