If you're looking for a flower baby name that isn't as popular as Rose or Lily, then say hello to Aven. This petite bloom is the national flower of Iceland and can be white, red, orange, or yellow in color. Despite their small size, avens, also known as mountain avens, are known for their resilience and can be found growing across moorland and mountainous slopes. With this British name you'll be able to encourage baby to stand up for their beliefs, even if it's tough. If you move a little further south, you'll also find Aven as a name with Irish roots. It comes from the name Aoibheann, which means "beautiful and pleasant." In Irish, Aven means "fair radiance," so it's perfect for encapsulating the loving glow you'll feel when baby arrives.
