Green Names:
100% Natural Names for your Baby

This is another in the series of excerpts from Beyond Ava & Aiden: The Enlightened Guide to Naming Your Baby.

eing green, as in environmentally conscious, has become not only ethically correct but fashionable. There’s a new appreciation for nature in all its glory, and that celebration extends to baby names.

There are several varieties of stylish Green Names that connect with different facets of nature. Most domesticated are the Flower Names, which spring from the Sweet-Victorian tinged names popular over the past few decades. Animal names put a more masculine spin on the trend, and water, field, and other nature-word names push the style into wilder territory.
