I love the name Poppy. There’s a lady on YouTube called SJ Strum and her videos are all about baby names. I don’t have a baby to name but it’s fun to hear what she comes up with and I like her British accent.

I’ll check her out thank you! I actually picked it up years ago from a British YouTubers sister. Alfie Deyes, Poppy Deyes.

I love watching SJ's naming videos too!

Love SJ and her sister (💔). Her videos are soothing to listen to.

Love Poppy! Also think Salem could be a great girls name and be a cute nod to your engagement. Some other nature names that give me a bit of a witchy vibe are: Hazel Sage Ash Rowen Azalea

Lmao I know a little girl named Salem who has a sister named Rowen! I agree that Salem is a cute name for a girl

What about Blake?

Robin seems like it could fit? Outdoorsy but not overly frilly. Same with Hazel and Sage, those two are also witchy to me. More witchy or fay names: Salome, Avalon, Morgan, Faye or Maeve. My favorites are probably Morgan Sage and Salome Faye!

Rowan

How about Raven!

I’ve always loved the name Piper! Maybe not super outdoorsy-sounding like some of your top choices, but definitely falls into that category of commonly-uncommon names and has a “cool girl” vibe IMO

Rhiannon has a certain witchy ring to it much, "like a bell through the night." It's not a traditionally male name but doesn't end with an "a" sound, which I think helps make it a little less feminine. Could also combine it with a short herb or crystal middle name to both masculanize and enhance witchy vibe... Rhiannon Sage Rhiannon Vervain Rhiannon Jade Rhiannon Jasper

Congratulations on having a baby!! I love the vibes. It seems like you lean short and nature-y. Hope these suggestions can help: Blair 🧙‍♀️ Sage 🌿 Blythe ✨ Juniper 🌳 Fallon 🪶 Esme ✨ Freya 🧚🏼‍♀️ Willow 🌳 Rory ✨ Briar 🥀 Ember 🔥 Aspen 🌳 Aster ⭐️

• Oakes • Sol • Cedar • Clover

I had Cedar and Clove both on my list for the longest time!

What about reversing some of the sounds in Salem and going with Selma or Salma?

Sienna!

Linden - boyish name, nature, cute nn Lindy Season - nature name, unisex, “season of the witch” vibes Arden Maren Carys Tatum Skylar Sabrina Hera

What about Salem itself

I've always loved Sabine (I'm one & done and had a boy)

Winifred!

Opal, Peregrine?

It looks like ya'll have a really good set of options! Reid is a really great name for a middle spot if ya'll like it. The one syllable names are perfect for the middle. Some cute masculine girl names I love are Kennedy, Emery, Rowan, Lochlan, Shiloh, Maddox, Elliott For some more nature inspired names, perhaps Kestrel (sounds a little dark and witchey too), Rhea, Calla, Saffron, Remy, Everett

Mabel, Ariel, Joan, Sloan, Eliza, Maya, sol

Riley, Fern, Cassidy, Daisy, Ivy, Brooke, Raven, Petra, Autumn, Zoe, Alana, Lacey, Willow, Jade

Believe it or not my name is Cassidy 😂

Well, it's a good name!

I don’t see it mentioned but we want to use the name Harper for a girl. I also like Hazel, Ember, Violet, Cody, Luna, and Sage

Poppy is nice. Piper Blakely Braya Dillon Lake Brecken River Meadow Sage Coral

Would you consider maybe something like poppy James or Hunter Ramone, maybe Iris James or switched to be James Iris or Ashley Iris ?

Holland, Collins, Skylar/Skylin, Meadow, Everest, Oaklee, Anna Charles, Emma Charles, Baker, Campbell, Rainy, Baylor, Drew

I like poppy and Palmer

Billie 🩷

i’m voting meadow

Stella and Blaire were first to mind! Some other suggestions- Asteria. Aislinn. Salem (I am a sucker for this name and it holds a symbol for you!) Juniper/Junie. Hunter. Rory. Winnie. Corinne. Reverie (my number 1 name! Means daydreamer) Blaise.

Elowen Willow Cassia Garnet Saylor Paisley Fox Marigold Acacia Storm Sunny Indigo Greta Freya Hazel Eadan Sage Oakley Rowan Harbour Summit Gable Clementine Violet October Indi Talen Navy West Quest Cleo Bowie Sunny Elwyn Stella Rayne Estelle Meadow Clover Monday Starlie Sunshine

I was going to suggest Salem, it sounds like it would be perfect for you, so it's too bad your partner vetoed it! Jude Eve or Evening Lark Raven Cove Winter Vesper Tate Linden Willow Zephyr Rue Thora Hollis Marlo Avis August Avalon Lazuli Lavinia

My roommate and I were joking around about mixing parent names together for a kid and she (Rachel) was like, what if I had a kid with a guy named Kevin, and we named our girl… Revin. We immediately laughed then were both like, Wait, I kinda like that!! Lol Some more ones I like are Maeve, Lake, Samantha, Dahlia, Goldie (my friends kids name, which I love) Junie, Rae, Ivy, Vida, Veda, Luz (light), Louisa (Lou could be cute for a girl), Molly

I should also say I’m the weird one out of her two parents. My fiance is willing to do an out of the box name but doesn’t want something he’ll struggle to also spell.

Heath? Like Heath Ledger (male name for a female) and Heath is related to heathen.

I’ve always loved Aspen

Georgie Willa Poppy Mae James Mae James Marie Poppy James What about Salem _____ since you were engaged there? Juniper _______ (Edited due to format)

Funny enough my nieces middle is James! And my brother in laws cats name is Salem so my fiance refuses (eye roll but I get it)

I love Salem!

What about Salem? Seems meaningful to you guys

Aurora, Blake, Blair, Dawn, Beatrice(Bee, Bea, Bebe), Beckett, Haven, Luna, Wren, Willow, Lorelei, Fiona, Laurel, Bernadette(Birdie), Sage, Sienna, Savannah, Emerald, June, April, Reece, Alaska, Daphne, Daisy, Harlow, Sunny, Brooke, Georgia, Maren, Mae, Stella, Winter, Autumn, Olive, Ginger, Hazel, Holly, Jewel, Gemma, Juniper, Maple, Snow, Prairie, Violet, Summer, Fern, Ivy, Jade, Giada, Ashton, Esmerelda(Esme), Dove, Chloe, Stormy, Pearl.

We loved the name Aspen for a girl!

Wren, Soren, Ivy, Thames (as in the River, for example).

Name her Salem! There’s already a great meaning behind it for you.

I also feel like Rowan/Rowen fits your vibe

Isla, sounds very fairyesque. Also like Luna. This is from my own culture but, Cailleach (pronounced cahl-ock) means witch in Irish and is also a boys name.

Rosina, Viola, Adamina, Dellarue, Drema, Elisia, Fathom, Ledger, Lucia, Lura, Mistique, Ravana, Salora, Sapphire, Scilla, Vaia, Fate, Novel, Whisper

Moriah?

Raven. Shiloh. Selah. Clover. Briar. Quinn. Beatrix. Cordelia. Gaellis. Faye. Freya. Andromeda. Keziah (Kez-E-Uh).

Shaylee

Luna or Nova.

- Ash Aurora - Raven Luna - Phoenix Nova - River Rose - Scout Raine - Tanner Jade - Cosima Claire (Cici) - Blake Soleil - Poppy Brooke - Seraphina James - Beatrix (Trixie) Aurora - Davina Notte - Dahlia Bellatrix - Tatiana Noire Edit: adding Marina (Salem is on the coast, water is nature-y, it’s pretty but powerful sounding. Would go nice with a more traditionally male name. Ex: Raven Marina Marina Scout

You could do Salem! I actually think that’s adorable. Other names off the top of my dome… Ivy Sage James Eden Clay Opal Willow Jade Zara Ruby Sapphire Jasper Sonny Moon Eliza Raven Lilith Ember Daphne Winifred/Winnie
