Which middle name for Native American baby?

Blackbird is nice and has a symmetry with your daughter's middle name.

I'll keep thinking about other black bird names and come back later.

You don't think blackbird is to similar to bluebird?

I really like Raven.

Quote:
Interesting you brought up hawks. My husband has a special connection to hawks. But I want the connection to be with the baby too. I wish my husband would speak up about names this time around, but I think he is relying on me to find out what the baby wants. I still think he can be in tune with the baby even if it is in my womb. We might go with hawk a type of, but I am just not feeling it. But you never know.

I like Raven or Blackbird.

I have Hawk on my list, too.

I'm not a Native-American, but I like to give my kids a nature name in the spirit of Native-Americans.

My dd is Janey Sky (which was really Sky-touching-ground, like when you see a rain squall in the distance).
And my son is Forest Patrick.

I am on my third, another boy. I can not find his nature name, he is due in 8 weeks!

Names I have:
Fox
River (I loved River Phoenix, River is used for girls a lot now, but as a middle name I think it is still strong)
Birch
Sage
Montaine
Canyon
Hawk

(I live in So. Cal on a cayon with sage and a view of a mountain; Hawks fly over our yard)

I like the name Raven, but is so frequently used as a girl name. Ithink Crow is cool, but we have Ravens flying around here, not crows. Though, I guess we don't have any Forests in the neighborhood and that didn't stop me from naming my son Forest.
I think I have to use the nature name in the middle this time, bc of having used Forest already as a first name.

I like Fox, but I don't know about the connotations (like sneaky/sly), that is why I prefer Hawk, though that can have a rather aggressive connotation. The reality is that the ravens around here are constantly harassing the poor hawks as they calmly soar on thermals.

You could also think about Eagle and Falcon.
What about names like Wind or Rain or Wolf?
