Nature Inspired Baby Names

I have a good friend who has three boys, Golden, Orion and Rivers. She and her husband are farmers and love the land. From the earliest of times, nature has inspired names parents give to their babies.  Throughout the years nature inspired names have been associated with different groups of people – from farm workers in the 1800's to Hippies in the 60's, these names have been around for centuries.

Many of these names I absolutely adore. When I was a young girl I wanted to name my daughter Star. I didn't marry a man who shares my love of nature names, so we settled on more traditional baby names.
