Outdoor & Nature Boy Names

Names for trail-coded sons — mountain, river, forest, frontier

Cedar, Atlas, Heath, Kauri, Calder — names anchored in the natural world or the surname-style register of frontier and outdoor places. Outdoor boy names skew rugged without being frat-coded. They sit comfortably with parents who hike, camp, or simply want a name that sounds like it belongs outside. Many derive from tree species, geographic features, or surnames-as-firsts with an outdoor association.
