Baby name expert SJ Strum, host of the Baby Name Envy podcast, previously told Yahoo UK: "Names drawn from nature are flourishing right now – they offer a sense of calm, grounding and connection. In a fast-paced, digital world, choosing something earthy or botanical is both meaningful and timeless." And they aren't the only ones to turn to nature for name inspiration. Three of the top 10 girls' names in 2023 – the most recent year the Office of National Statistics (ONS) has records for — were nature-inspired — Lily, Ivy and Willow. And many celebrities have also chosen the natural baby naming route. Gwyneth Paltrow famously chose Apple for her daughter, while Beyoncé and Jay-Z opted for Blue Ivy, and Jason Bateman named his daughter Maple. "Our commitment to sustainability and celebration of the beauty in the natural world means that nature-inspired names are flourishing," Strum added.

Singer Pink and actor Will Smith have daughters named Willow. Daisy The name Daisy comes from the popular flower and is associated with innocence and brightness. According to BabyCentre UK, it has Old English roots and, like the flower, means 'the day's eye'. It currently sits at number 24 on the ONS list, as a fresh and charming choice for parents. Luna Luna, meaning 'moon' in Latin, brings a celestial twist to the nature theme. The name has risen in popularity in recent years – in 2015 it didn't feature in the top 100 girls' names but is now placed at number 38. It's popularity could be in part due to the Harry Potter character Luna Lovegood, who became a fan-favourite in the famous book series and films. Oliver The Old English version of the French name Olivier, Oliver is linked to the olive tree and means 'olive planter' as per Baby Center. It's a top-ranking choice and currently sits at number three on the ONS list of most popular boys' baby names in England and Wales with over 4,100 parents opting for the moniker in 2023.

It's a firm favourite among UK parents, currently ranking as the fifth favourite boys' name. Arlo Arlo is believed to have roots in Old English or Spanish, and while its exact meaning is debated, it's thought to mean 'fortified hill' according to BabyCenter. It's often associated with nature thanks to its soft, earthy sound and outdoorsy feel. Rowan Taken from the rowan tree, known for its clusters of red berries, Rowan is a unisex nature name but is popularly used for boys in particular. It has Gaelic roots, per Ancestry UK, and is often linked to the word ruadhan, meaning 'little red one' – a nod to red hair and fiery energy. Oakley Oakley is typically an English surname, which the Bump says means 'meadow of oak trees', but has since become a first name in its own right. Linked to the oak trees strength and resilience. It's currently ranked 94th in the list of the top 100 boys' names making it a great choice if you want a more unusual name for your child.

Beyoncé launches tour in New York: New hair, fresh looks, cute matching moment with Rumi
Beyoncé launches tour in New York: New hair, fresh looks, cute matching moment with Rumi Beyoncé Knowles-Carter launched her first show in New York on her "Cowboy Carter" tour, delivering yet another groundbreaking performance filled with new looks, fresh energy and more heartwarming moments with her children. The Grammy-winning singer wasted no time kicking off her "Cowboy Carter" concert at MetLife Stadium on May 22, starting the show around 8:04 p.m. ET — one of the earliest times yet. In fact, as the first song began, many fans scrambled to their seats in a mix of angst and excitement. The performance marked Beyoncé's first show in the New York area — East Rutherford, New Jersey — on her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform on the same stage for a total of five nights. The remaining shows will take place May 24, 25, 28 and 29. What songs did Bey play? Beyoncé Cowboy Carter at MetLife Stadium setlist "I want to say thank y'all for being here in the rain and cold weather. I'm going to try my best to keep y'all warm," she told the crowd as she opened the show. Here are notable moments from the MetLife opener. Beyoncé rocks new hairstyle in New York When Beyoncé first stepped foot on the stage Thursday night, fans instantly took note of her new hairstyle — voluminous, cascading curls. Since kicking off the tour in Los Angeles on April 21, she has mainly rocked loose curls. However, it's worth noting Beyoncé doesn't have a signature look. She's known to switch it up. Beyoncé, Blue Ivy debut new outfits: Blue 'loves NY' Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. Of course, there's been lots of Western-glam with sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. During Thursday's show she debuted another show-stopping outfit during "Alliigator Tears". The new get-up featured a sparkly, American flag ensemble. Beyoncé paired it with a Black cowboy hat, gloves and a furry coat. And she even had a surprise on the back when she turned around. And Beyoncé wasn't the only one. Her 13-year-old daughter and dancer Blue Ivy even debuted a new look during her "Deja Vu" performance, wearing jeans and an 'I love New York' shirt. Beyoncé and 7-year-old Rumi Carter share an adorable matching moment Fans weren't just talking about Beyoncé's and Blu Ivy's new look, either. Beyoncé and Jay Z's 7-year-old daughter Rumi Carter stole the show when she appeared onstage during Beyoncé's "Protector" performance. The baby Carter also debuted a brand-new outfit — this time matching with her mom in a sparkly ensemble and a white, fluffy coat. Manager Blue Ivy shines — rain or shine And it wouldn't be a 'Cowboy Carter' concert if manager Blue didn't do her thing. At one point, fans caught Blue smoothly wiping the wet floor before breaking into dancing. A true professional. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. She performed a total of five shows there, putting on a revolutionary show filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. Beyoncé has already made history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.
