Re: Plant names for boys
I like Aciano and think it could definitely work. Ace is a potential nickname.I'm a fan of:Sequoia
Alder
Heath
Sage
Rowan
Basil
Hawthorn(e)
Bay
Spruce
Cedar
CypressSince people like to use boys' names on girls, I think it would be interesting to consider using traditionally female plant names on boys. This would probably work best with names that are also surnames or sound similar to existing boys' names:Ivy (could be a nickname for Ivan)
Holly (Buddy Holly)
Rose (Pete Rose)
Linden (sounds like Lyndon)
Laurel (Stan Laurel)
Hazel (sounds like Hayes or Hazen)

I am a fan of Sage and Rowan too although perhaps not enough to use them. Lindon would definitely work on a boy. It doesn't sound feminine and is very similar to other boy names that are in vogue.
