A Few Notes About Our Favorites

We love the name Ash! Ashley was popular for a long time in the ’80s, and it, too, referenced the ash trees. But just “Ash” takes things to a newer, edgier level. Since ash is also the remnants of a fire, it feels a bit dark and “cool.” And the versatility doesn’t end there — you could even make it feel preppy by going with Asher. Jasper also has a preppy vibe to it but is a reference to jasper, the precious stone. It’s got that same familiar “a” sound as Ash, too.

While we’re especially drawn to those names, there’s a wildly long list of nature-inspired names you can choose from — and we didn’t even include animal names or environmental activists (yet).
