my favorites in this category are Meadows and Embers!

if I had to pick one to nominate, it would go to Embers. like Rivers, but make it fire nation instead of water tribe!

Am I too on the nose to suggest Berries? πŸ˜‚ would make such a cute fruit/woodland/nature name and I think the S makes it sound completely distinguished from Barry!

How about Vespers? While it is an odd noun that is actually singular with the "s" on it (like chicken referring to one or many), it fits the criteria and is an interesting and unique word name.

Willows or Fleurs...both are recognizable as first names, both could be surnames, & both are word names.

I think Days would be a cool one!

I like that it rhymes with Hayes, is familiar as a word and surname, and has a cool, almost sci-fi sound from the similarity to daze (which doesn't bother me, though I could see people finding it a negative association.)

I would love to see Times as a given name. I think it has great potential because it doesn’t sound too much like a word name, plus it’s very elegant.

Willows or Fleurs. Both recognizable as first names, but also plausibly last names, & also definitely word names.

I think Moose would be a good middle name. I also like Dreams as a first name.

I would have to say Ambers. It’s just so pretty sounding.

Fords

It’s a nature name, it sounds like a surname, it’s brisk, and it can also be a verb. I think it has potential!
