Post subject:  Names for my female characters

I'm looking for some female names for my recently created race. I have plenty of male names, but now I'm looking for some girls names.

They need to be 'names from nature' so like Lily, Summer, Willow etc., but I'm looking for slightly more unusual names. Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks!

Thank you, Rebekah! I think Viola is the one that's catching my eye there. :)

Thanks, Bushy. I like Skye, with an e on the end though. (No idea why, I just like the different spelling) I like Fern as well. It's hard to explain without going into my story, because I don't want to explain the plot or the race I'm working on here etc publicly, but names like that will fit in really well. They don't all have to be names from nature, but I'd like a lot of them to be so.

Thanks!

Thank you for all those suggestions, Elestar! Actually, I looked up some Japanese names and meanings for some of my male characters; Myrtille is really pretty. Thanks for that. :)

Thanks, Legatus. :) I like Meadow too, it always reminds me of warmth, summer and the sweet smell of grass. Thanks for the suggestions!
