Girls' Nature Names That Start with R
Looking for a nature-inspired girl's name that starts with the letter R? There's the classic Rose, of course, but perhaps you're after something a bit more unusual? Whether your taste in baby names tends toward traditional or trendy, you should find plenty of ideas in the list below.
- Rose. With so many offbeat names now given to new babies, this flower name one stands out as a no-nonsense option with proven staying power.
- Rosalie. (or Rosalee). One of the many offshoots of the classic Rose.
- Rosemary. An evergreen plant and baby name, Rosemary is always a good choice.
- Raven. A mainstay in the Top 200 list in the 1990s, this bird name is drenched in mythological, spiritual and cultural symbolism (good or bad, depending on who you ask).
- Rosie. The classic Rose with the endearing -ie ending.
- Rosa. The Latin word for "rose" and a beautiful baby name. Catholic parents may appreciate the connection to Saint Rosa.
- Robin. Robin moves from the sky to the nursery with ease.
- Rain. Not too long ago, no one would've dreamed of naming their baby girl Rain. But baby name trends evolve, and today Rain sounds like a perfectly reasonable choice.
- Rue. Or, take a cue from Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert who used this sweet botanical name for their baby girl born in 2020.
- Rosella. Not all nature names with the Rose- prefix relate to the plant: Rosella, for example, belongs to a colorful parrot native to the Australian continent.
- Rainbow. Jamie Oliver and wife Jools, known for their unique name choices, used this colorful nature name in the middle spot for their third daughter Petal Blossom Rainbow.
- Rainy. If Sunny and Sky can have a place in the modern baby naming lexicon, why not Rainy?
- Roselle. This one can be seen as a hybrid name blending Rose and Elle, or as a nature name in its own right: in botany, roselle is a species of flowering plant in the genus Hibiscus.
