I vaguely knew a dude named Oak in college. He was sweet, as was his name.

Basil, Timber, Axel (as in axel of the earth), Pluto (although no nlonger a planet), and Mercury. Don't forget about constellations as well, where there is an abundance of greek and roman gods you can name your offspring after (i.e. Aries, Orion, Leo, Zeus).
What the crap is the "axel" of the Earth???
Zenith, Branch, Charon (moon of Mars).
Ocean - boy or girl?
Echo - boy or girl?
Raven - boy or girl?

You know, like the "Axel of Evil".
Why heck, after a bunch of weird names, I started naming my kids after math classes that I failed.
Trig is just a beautiful boy.
If I can get my husband off of his snow machine, we can get fixin' to breed again and I can have a baby named Algebra.

How about
"Beat me up and take my lunch money"
or
"Tease me mercilessly"
Cause that's what's going to happen if you go through with this scheme of yours.

Ocean - boy
Echo - girl
Raven - girl
How about Wolf or Colt or Reed?
...or Rustle. Sounds normal(like Russell) and sticks to your plant theme(like leaves rustle).
There you have it. Stoney or Rustle. Only acceptable nature names for a boy.
My college advisor, Prof. Waters, named one of his two sons Wade. Head-scratching, son #2 was named Benjamin.
Lyndon/Linden-- synonymous with basswood tree
Cliff
etc.
Here's a guide (this page is for letter "A", with links to subsequent letters)

Choose wisely. Some natural-world-based names are cool, others scream "airy-fairy Birkenstock wearer!"
I think those of you who think the child will be teased are close-minded. That may have been true at one time, but not today. The US today is very ethnically diverse. What about a name like Barrack? African-Americans have many distinctive names, and so do Hispanics, and so do Asian-Americans. I personally wish I had a unique name. My real name is Sarah, and I think its too plain and common. I wish my name were something unique, like Echo.
Those of you who criticize a nature name are probably just envious, and wish you didn't have your own boring name.
Think about it - your name says a lot more about the personalities of your parents than it does about your personality.
Cookie monster - I encourage you to go for it!

Seriously, for climate: how about Nimbus (also good for a runner), Cumulo or Stratus? Ozone, Oz for short?
Geological: Geode?
Celestial opens up much of Greek mythology.
Rivers: Rill, Silt
Animals: Jag(uar)
I hope all of you are kidding. I know some of you are, but come on, are you f***ing serious?
Nimbus? Ozone? Unless you are black these names will not fly. Two of my friends just had baby boys and their LAST names are Hughes and Burch ... normal white-people names. I can see it now on their first day at school:
"Ozone? Ozone Burch?" "Here teacher!" laughing commences in the background.
"Geode? Goede Hughes?"
Jaguar? Silt? f*** off is all I have to say to that. I hope you were kidding.

Barack Obama went by Barry when he was younger. He switched to the original spelling when he got older. I assume you meant Barack rather than Barrack.
Branch.
Thank me later.
