We aren't planning on ttc for another few months but somehow we started talking about girl names this evening. DD has a nature-y name (more specifically, a night sky inspired name) and we would like another nature-y if we ever have another DD. We both liked Helene and Rosalind (both moons) to give you an idea of our style. We dislike flower names.
What nature inspired girl names would you suggest?

I grew up with a Wynde (said like wind) and a Rayne (said like rain) who were siblings.

Going with your moon idea: Selene or Selena (after godness of the moon) but maybe too on the nose of your previous DD is Luna

@Miss Ariel: Ooh. You made me think of Raina. I forgot I really like that name.
@ScarletBegonia: Haha.. SO would say it like that every. single. time. But it is so pretty!
@LindsayLou: @TemperanceBrennan: @tinyperson: I should have mentioned last name sounds almost exactly like Rottweiler. Is that too awkward with Wren?
@Ms.Badger: DD is Celeste, so Selene/a is probably too similar.

@Finfan: Holly is a lovely name! I like Cassiopeia but I can never pronounce it correctly. I also love Aurora (especially with nn Rorie) but my sister's kids all start with A.

I've considered a bunch of astronomy/space names: Astrid, Astra, Aurora, Thea (Althea is a moon of Jupiter), Andromeda (constellation, nn: Andie), Luna, Lyra (constellation), and Dawn.
I like "A" names, too, and it wouldn't bother me if if there were a lot already in the family.
A friend named his daughter Rhea, a moon of Saturn. Dione and Phoebe are also Saturn moon names. You already know Helene (my middle name!). Uranus has many pretty girl name moons: Ariel, Bianca, Portia, and Rosalind (as you know).

A friend of mine just named her baby Meadow. I think it's super cute!

@Ms. RV: I do think your last name makes it a little more of a tongue twister, but I don't think it is a deal breaker. This thread generated a bunch of great names!
