Nature Baby Names — Forest, Sea, Sky & Flower
Nature names have moved from niche to mainstream: Ivy, Willow, River, and Kai now sit on national charts. The search that still is not well served is nature names that are not English vocabulary — Varsha for monsoon rain, Aranya for forest, Kai for sea.
This list mixes both. English word-names are easy to wear; heritage nature names are how a multicultural family keeps the metaphor and the language.
