My sister and I both like the idea of starting a family tradition of naming boys after trees. The only problem is is that we can't think of all that many useable tree names She really likes Birch, Linden, Cypress, and Hawthorn for her son and I found I really like Rowan if I have a boy.

But really all we found that could be used for names are Ash, Hawthorn, Linden, Birch, Cypress, Rowan, Willow, Olive, Alder, and Cedar. That's not much.

Another one we thought could work was making a tradition of place names for boys. There have got to be tons of those, right? Though right now I can't think of all that many!

So what do you think? Would you go with trees or place names? And if you have suggestions for either, that would be great!

I personally would go with place names. I think you can find more "normal" names using thoughs. A boy named Willow or Birch? I just can't see it....

Place Names For Boys:

Aragon
Caspian
Charleston

Cayman

Cyprus

Kingston

Harlem

Hudson

Trenton

Reno

Rio

Raleigh

Everet

Rome

Salem

Sydney
Boston

Brooklyn

Denver

Phoenix

More?

I can't believe I didn't think of Phoenix! Our cousin has a boy named Phoenix so that's a good start I personally love Everett. Rose found a whole lot she likes. She wants to try thinking of more, though, so if you have other place name suggestions let us have 'em! lol but thank you so much!

Golly, you've given us some great ones! Of course, she's due to give birth any moment and I have a more narrowed down list than she does. But at least she loves them We might just have a new tradition on our hands!!! I'm so happy.
