Maybe you can branch into other nature names if you get to hung up on tree-tree or something like that! </p> <p>River, Coral, Brook, Brier, Jade</p> <p>Hard to make suggestions without knowing the actual first name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742509 Wed, 31 May 2017 21:04:49 +0000 ShootingStar 2742509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it might feel a little too silly or theme-y, but I'm not sure how often people will hear them together. We tried so hard with LO1's name to make it flowed well and I only liked one syllable middle names, and idk now that it matters a bit. LO2's name is more of a mouthful, but it doesn't bother and I don't really care what other people think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742505 Wed, 31 May 2017 21:00:04 +0000 travellingbee 2742505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto everyone else. I tend to think it's probably too much but it depends on the names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742415 Wed, 31 May 2017 17:11:18 +0000 youboots 2742415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it suits you guys. Do you know how much I looooove Magnolia and M vetoes it? I wish it were your name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742409 Wed, 31 May 2017 17:00:47 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2742409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know the name, so I can't be 100% certain, but I think in this case if you have to ask... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742388 Wed, 31 May 2017 15:46:35 +0000 MrsSCB 2742388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shabang: Maple Spruce made me lol. I'm gonna add that to the top of my list for the next kid ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742360 Wed, 31 May 2017 14:50:51 +0000 KayKay 2742360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe? Depending, like others said, on how specifically nature-y the names sound. But you shouldn't let that stop you if they are the names you like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742356 Wed, 31 May 2017 14:47:26 +0000 shabang 2742356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: @nana87: What they said. If it's more of a name, I wouldn't think twice. </p> <p>Examples: Lily Rose - doesn't scream flower flower. Dahlia Fern - borderline too much. Maple Spruce - tree tree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742331 Wed, 31 May 2017 14:28:08 +0000 rattles 2742331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the specific combo, but for me it would be too much as a general rule. I've always disliked Beyoncé's Blue Ivy because it sounded like a kind of plant more than a name in that combo. I'd be more likely to use Juniper Jane than Juniper Wren, for example, but like most things, that's just a matter of personal taste. I don't think your kid will be scarred or teased for a name like Magnolia Fern (both of which are lovely choices, btw). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742203 Wed, 31 May 2017 12:07:27 +0000 avivoca 2742203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! But my second daughter is named after an actual plant (as in genus/species). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742202 Wed, 31 May 2017 12:07:04 +0000 nana87 2742202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it'd depend on how common the names were as names, you know? Like Rose would register to me more as a name than a plant, but Peony would strike me first as a flower (I've never heard that as a name, just giving an example! ;) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742201 Wed, 31 May 2017 12:05:33 +0000 catlady 2742201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the names. I personally think Magnolia Fern is a bit too much, but I'm not necessarily drawn to most flower names to begin with so take that with a grain of salt. I do think some names are more classic even though they are floral (Rose, Lily) and it might be easier to combine those without it seeming overly nature-y. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742197 Wed, 31 May 2017 12:00:39 +0000 Coral 2742197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh. I think it really depends. If it's like Poppy Rose, then I think it seems a bit much but something like Poppy Savannah or Poppy Marina seems less redundant. Does that make sense? So maybe instead of flora, go a different albeit still natural route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-nature-names#post-2742191 Wed, 31 May 2017 11:53:44 +0000 littlejoy 2742191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are 100% sure of LO's first name, but struggling to solidify middle name options. First name is a kind of plant, and I'm really drawn to a few plant names for middles: Fern, Rose, Poppy, etc. &lt;- not drawn to them because they are plant names ... I just happen to like them. </p> <p>So, would a name like: "Magnolia Fern" (not the name) stand out as two nature names? No big deal? It's so rare people would ever even see her full name. </p>
