A Few Favorites to Consider
One name that stands out is Ash! While Ashley had its heyday in the ’80s, “Ash” has a modern twist. It evokes the ash tree and also symbolizes the remnants of fire, giving it a cool, edgy vibe. If you want something a bit more classic, consider Asher, which feels more preppy. Another name we adore is Jasper, referencing the beautiful gemstone and carrying that same appealing “a” sound found in Ash.
But don’t stop there—there’s a treasure trove of nature-inspired names to explore, and we haven’t even touched on animal names or the names of environmental activists yet.
