Famous Celebrity Boys with Plant-Related Names

Plant names for boys are all the rage in Hollywood right now. In fact, they have been circulating for quite some time. We’ve planted our feet firmly in the ground of Tinsel Town and found some botanical boy names you’ll love. According to All Parenting, Isaiah & Jenisa Washington named their son, Thyme.

Jamie and Jools Oliver named their son River Rocket, as told to us by Today. Rocket (Eruca sativa) is classified botanically as an edible herb.

Virginia Williams and Bradford Bricken opted to name their son the cool name Beau Rush.

Scott Wolf and Kelley Limp decided to name their baby boy Miller William.

Hawthorne James, the American actor and director, was born James Hawthorne. However, he switched his name, perhaps for his professional life. As a first name, the name Hawthorne is certainly unique and strong.

Paul Watson and Yana Watson chose the cool name Tiger for their son. Tiger lily is a plant native to China, Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East.

Lastly, we wanted to give a special shout-out to Orlando Bloom. We understand his ‘plant name’ is his last name, but we like it, nonetheless.

Ingo Rademacher gave his son the cute name, Peanut Kai. Many people are surprised to learn that peanuts grow on plants, not trees.
