Vintage Natural

Lily is currently the prime nature-inspired choice for girls, but it wasn't too long ago that Jasmine reigned. Before that was Amber, and before that were Heather, Dawn, Robin, and for a very long time, Rose. Usually only one or two nature names is trendy at any one time, but we currently seem to be an a sort of nature-revival. While Lily is undeniably the most common nature-name / nickname, several others are also on the rise--Autumn, Violet, Ruby, August, Iris, Jade, Rowan, Hazel, Olive, June, Rosemary, Pearl, just to name a few. The last time nature names were so trendy was around the turn of the last century. Guess the 100-year-rule really does hold true.
Interestingly enough, of the aforementioned names, only one is exclusively masculine--August. In the last nature-name boom, such names were in use for both genders.
