The Art of Naming

When it comes to earthy boy names, some of the coolest ones are related to rock and stone. There are some names that mean rock such as the Scottish surname Carrick from the  Gaelic Carraig.  The name Peter means "stone" and so does all of its variants and translations such as the French Pierre , the Spanish Pedro, and others such as Piers, Pierce, Pierson, Piet and Pietro.   If it's a down-to-earth name you want, the list below features a few more names with rocky and earthy meanings: Cephas Clayton Cole Craig Dunstan Ebenezer Haldor Halle Halstein Halvard Harlow Hermes Leofstan Malachite Mason Seneca Stanford Stanley Terran Torsten Winston Wystan "rock" "clay settlement" "charcoal" "crag, rock" "dark stone" "stone of help" "Thor's rock" "rock" "rock, stone" "rock guardian" "rock hill" "piles of stones"

Snow? Rose? Winter? Photo taken by me. I previously featured girl names that are inspired by flowers and trees. I thought I would find even more options for both genders that come from nature. Included on this list are baby names that are inspired by flowers, trees, fruit, water, weather, the earth and even animals! There is a great variety here and you're sure to find one that you love! Nature names have increased in popularity lately as parents look for bold, unconventional name options. Which of these cool options is your favorite? Did I miss any?
