[Opinions] Sequoia
I really like the name Sequoia for any gender. Any opinions? If you had to pair it with another name inspired by nature, what would you use? Combo ideas for male and female welcome.Sparrow

It's alright,although does seem to be a bit "out there" as it's definitely more of an unusual choice. That being said, I wish that I could like it more but unfortunately I have a negative association attached to it. I actually knew a girl from school named this and as you could probably guess, I wasn't a fan of hers. (And for a good reason) I litterally CANNOT seperate the name from her. She's likely the only 'Sequoia' I will ever have come across.

The original meaning bothers me enough that I wouldn't use it but not so much that I dislike it for other people.I tend not to like two plant names in one combo, and I don't really think it makes sense with most animal names or landscape type words, so that doesn't leave much...Sequoia Evening
Sequoia Echo ...I don't usually like Echo, but I think it'd work pretty well with Sequoia.
Sequoia Dream
Sequoia Reverie
Sequoia Patience
Sequoia Gale
Sequoia Nimbus
Sequoia Misty
Sequoia June
Sequoia December
Sequoia Rainbow
Sequoia Loveday
Sequoia Viridian
Sequoia Blessing
Sequoia Prosper
Sequoia Liberty
Sequoia West
Sequoia RavenI'd pick Sequoia Patience for a girl, or Sequoia Prosper as unisex, if those count as nature names; if not, then maybe Sequoia Raven for a girl and Sequoia Gale for a boy.Or Quanah Sequoia, unisex (I know a female Quana), could be an option.

I like Sequoia, too. It's a bit heavy, with the "quoy" sound, so I'd use a one- (maybe two-) syllable name that's lighter.Sequoia Wren
Sequoia Rose
Sequoia Dove
Sequoia Lynn
Sequoia Rue
Sequoia Jay
Sequoia Thorn
Sequoia Rye
Sequoia Bay
Sequoia Wolf
Sequoia Reed
Sequoia Dean

I personally don't like it. I think of Giant Sequoia (plant) which is endangered and I don't think you want that associated with your child's name... given that anyone else knows what I'm talking about...BUT if you like it that much.... how about Sequoia Lake or Sequoia Sage..
