Nature baby names

Nature names are the fastest-moving theme in the UK right now, from Willow and Ivy to Rowan and Oakley. The names below are the tree, plant and natural-world names that sit inside the official ONS 2024 top 100, so every one is genuinely popular, not a wishlist. Out of the ONS 2025 top 100, 12 names fit this theme, led by Lily at number 2 in the girls' list. Every name here links to its own page with the full ONS rank, the number of babies given it and 30 years of history. The popularity figures are the real Office for National Statistics figures for 2025 in England and Wales; which names belong to the theme is our editorial selection from the official top 100.

Selected by us from the ONS 2024 top 100 boys and girls as the names rooted in the natural world (trees, plants, flowers, landscape). The rank and count beside each name are the real ONS figures. Accessed 2026-10-09.
