Nature names as middle names
If you find that some of these baby names are too unique for your family’s style, try using them as middle names. Names like Wood and Bay sound beautiful as middle names even when used with traditional, common first names. Try a combo like Jonathan Flint. For little girls, try using an ultra-feminine first name with a more neutral nature-inspired middle name, such as Alexandra Night.
