I love the idea of names inspired by nature. I think my next dog might be called Tulip.
Tulip is a cute name, Sharon! It’s funny, when I was writing this list, I kept thinking how some of the names sound like soap opera character names! Reed, Ridge, Jasmine, Skye, Skylar, haha!

My dogs are Sage (a plant and a fly fishing brand) and Kuiu(an Alaskan island and hunting clothing brand). I also like Cedar (a type of wood) and Echo (sounds pretty outdoorsy. Name of a nymph/nature spirit in Greek Mythology) I know it’s been a while since this thread has been active, but I found it, and I’ll guess that other people will too.
These are great, Allison! Thank you for contributing!
