What would you choose if you were a Hippie?
The year is 1971 and you're fully immersed in the hippie movement. You're all about free love, frequent war protests and maybe you even dabble in chaining yourself to trees. You have three flower-children. How do you name them?I'll probably choose these:Amity
Willow
CrystalForest
River

Cricket, Pine & Elm
Huckleberry (Huck), Sage, PikeI genuinely love those names *hides*

Sage is handsome. I have a soft spot for the book and character Huckleberry Finn, so I understand the appeal. Cricket is an unusual choice. I do know someone who was called Cricket as a nickname during early childhood because she tended to hop and skip all over the place.

Lilac, Flower, Sky
River, Fox, LightCombos:

Lilac Wren
June Flower
Autumn Sky
River Dandelion (Dandelion seems masculine to me)
Cosmos Light
Eden Fox I hope it's hippie enough :)

Possibly because Dandy is an old masculine nickname, but in more modern times (albeit outdated) a word to describe a fashionable man :)Here I was thinking it was a nn for Daniel but no, according to the user-submitted name (Dandy) it's for Andrew... Maybe it's a another rhyming nickname like Dick and Bill. You know, Andy-Dandy?

Oh, yes :), Dandy, plus -lion part sounds masculine, imo, (even though I love Endelion for a girl).I'd never guess that Dandy is a nn for Andrew (Andy-Dandy)! I think you are right.

I'd argue both xD I'm sure many hippie witches have existed. What does Sowilo mean? Its not in the database

It's the name of the sun rune in the Elder Futhark runic alphabet. I love the look of it but it's a bit out there so I feel like it'd fit as a hippie name haha.

Daisy Rainbow Sky River Oak Fox

Well, in 1971 I was in college. My mind was a jumble and I was straining to make it from one day to the next. Also, I was desperately poor, to the point of not having enough to eat. And yes, the hippie movement was in the very air I breathed back then. I'm so glad I had sense enough not to have kids. But let's assume I did have them. If I gave them hippie names they would be Star, Heather and Juniper.(I couldn't imagine having a boy.)If I gave them names I actually liked back then they would be Stacy, Jennifer and Anne.

Today they would be:Sunny
Gaia
JuniperMaverick
Journey (I'm vibing with Journey on a male today, and am now wondering why this name is listed as feminine and not unisex...)
Sage (also preferring this on a male today, at least it is listed as unisex)
Any combination of the above (maybe not Juniper & Journey together, or Sunny & Sage).

Tbh I see Sage as completely unisex... not sure why Journey isn't? Sounds like the most unisex thing on the planet

I feel that. There's a lot of names that I like beginning with or uses a lot of Ls. When I make combos, I tend to try and fit them with my surname as I don't plan on changing it in marriage... so alas, there are too many Ls. RIP Luna, Melanie, Lavender etc
