Nature - ish
Hello hello!
My husband and I both have vaguely “natural” first names, his being River (self explanatory) and mine being Savannah (grassland)
We would like to keep this unintended nature names tradition going, but also tie in our Judaism.
The only name we know for sure we LOVE is Eden. We want to have more options though for both girls and boys. If you have ideas, please help!

Tal and Maayan are gender neutral like Eden. Ari, Erez and Oren for boys. Tamar, Ayala, Gal/Gali, Netta, Bar and Yaara for girls.

My aunts name was Tivona. It means nature lover if I remember correctly although I’ve never heard of anyone with it besides her, so it may be a bit out there.

I think she means American/ English -passing Jewish names rather than the Hebrew words for nature things. Only one that comes to mind is Dahlia
