Down-To-Earth Nature Names

Nature names are a natural choice (see what we did there?) for your little one. After all, everyone is a part of this earth, just as much as the plants, animals, features, and elements on this list … and we hope that, like things in nature, our babies flourish and grow freely.

Whether you spend lots of time outdoors or not, we can all agree there isn’t much that inspires us like nature. So why not bring a little of that soul-nourishing nature vibe into your family with a natural baby name?

From geographical features, to plants that take root and bloom, to the creatures that crawl, swim, and fly, these nature names pay homage to the things that connect us all.

Naming a baby can be scary. We can help! Check out our baby name database here.
