Can you suggest some good nature names for me?

I am writing a story and like to use themes for naming characters, I chose nature thinking that I would have lots of choice, unfortunately I'm beginning to run low on names and I need some help.





Specifically, I need boys names, girls names and surnames.





I have a good list of names so far, but I need help getting more. The themes are I am working with are, fire, earth, air, water, plants/trees and animals but basically anything from nature. But they have to sound like they would be used as a name, so things like; Eagle, Shark and Egypt aren't really ideal.





Here are some examples of what I have:





Boys; Ash, Blaise, Robin, Basil, Finn and Reed.


Girls; Jade, Holly, Ivy, Crystal, Pearl and Dawn.


Surnames; Birchwood, Redfern, Snapdragon, Springleaf and Greenwood.





Help will be greatly appreciated as I have exhausted by baby names books, but I'm sure there are loads I have missed.

Can you suggest some good nature names for me?
Here are some last names:


Woods


Fields


Meadows


Lea


Forrest (probably related to the Woods family).


Moss (Pete Moss would be good)


Rye


Fescue
