Well, I was the first born and actually got the name that was supposed to be my uncle's, would he have been born a girl. haha. So my name is Alisa Beth with my mother's maiden name. My brother is Mota (spanish street slang for marijuana) with his father's last name. Then we have 2 sisters: Fern Wildflower and Willow Clearwater. All three of them have no middle name, and the girls have their own last names. I was going to name my son Ranier Keya Skye, but when he was born he just felt like "Skye"...no middle name. Yeah, it certainly becomes repetitive trying to explain family names and history. lol.

Ariel Meadow Stallings
First name is from Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Middle name, in true hippie form, is my place of conception

My younger sister's name is Welcome. Some freinds were Cotton and Dipper.

Ooohhh... I love this game...

I grew up with lots of earthy names: Willow, River, Windy but I think my all time favourite is Porpoise.

Porpoise Lasar

I really respected that kid, cause he stuck by his name, even in a redneck highschool.

My mother also knew a kid named cheesewhiz, whizeroo for short.

He changed his name to Charles appearantly.

My name is Bree from the Lord of the Rings, but its a common name now, brianna and stuff. I was born in San Francisco in the back of a VW bus (almost made it to the hospital) moved to oregon and was raised with 2 goats in the backyard for the goat milk. Brown rice, tofu, cleansing, before it became 'hip'. now i get really excited to buy sugar cereal! such a treat!

growing up i went to this preschool where clothing was optional, my friends now call it naked preschool. My best friends were sisters named blueberry and huckleberry. poor kids.

My name is Lacey Field Fulton, and my little brother is Jubal Fortune Fulton.....though we had kids in the community with names like Netune RainbowBlessing, Manue and Dorje, Aia, Appolonia, the usual Solstices and Summers, I think we had a girl named Meadow. I love hippy names, and am really lucky that I like mine.

I got to pick my own name.. crazy huh? My folks named me James Stephen after my Dad's dad.. (jim was his name) but my Mom didn't like that very much. No clue where the middle name came from since there are no STEPHENS in my family. Granpa's middle name was STEEN.

When I was finally able to communicate :) (hmm.. as if i still can.. lol) my friends Dad (whom I consider my spiritual father) (who helped raise me) let me choose a new name for myself..

I chose Jim for my first name since thats what everyone called me (or Jim/Jimmy/Jimbo) .. but for my middle name I choose "STRAW" which is from two places.. my Hair.. and my last name/ first name combo..

I miss him . . Peace

i have a brother summer simon. . . george root . . . most of the kids born at our commune were given biblical names. . .

These are great!

My older half brother was born in a hospital and they made my mother fill out the birth certificate before she went home with him, so he ended up getting names after his father and mom's father, both who were named Robert. Since neither of them was around, there was never any confusion.

Since I was born in a house, my mom took her time finding the right name for me. By the time I was 6 months old, she was running the kitchen of an alternative school and youth hostel, and I still did not have a name. Apparently, my mom had been trying names, but none of them stuck. One of the woman there was learning hindu music and asked her teacher to come give a concert at the school. The teacher was playing with "the baby" and asked my mom when she was going to name me. When she told him she was taking suggestions he gave her "Ragani" to try out. It is the feminine form of the hindu word "raga" which is a musical term relating to melody. My mom tried it out and has been calling me that ever since.

The funny thing for me is that my older brother is Robert, and my younger siblings are Michael and Lisa (they were born much later and to my dad). I am the only one with a hippie name in the family.

I was not, however, given a middle name, so I later chose Anna as one to use when I needed a more simple name to give. I only really used it as a first name for a short time when I was 12.

As for those I have known through the years, Hallelujah is the only one that comes to mind right now. Hmm... I went to school with a Cedar who was named after where she was conceived (under a cedar tree).

Hi everybody. My name is Spring Willow. My parents lived in a tree house until about three weeks before I was born. My younger brothers are Will Sylvan and Drew Shephard, but now my favorite name ever is Porpoise. That's genious!

Im Shastina Rose Ann-Wallace
its not that out there, but it was checked for numerology and what not.
i was born in a house in McCloud, a small town at the foot of Mt. Shasta

Caleb. Knew a Summer and Geovanni on a commune I was 5-7 yrs. old in Mendocino in 1971-3.

I have brothers named Rock, Day, and Arlo. Rock's daughters are Zoe & Nike (Goddess names). Day's daughters are Deija, Morgen & Evening. I gave one of my son's the name Wulf which is a family surname after my great grandfather, and named another Kiernan Bjorn.

I love interesting names, thanks for asking.

Ok, this is a way ancient post but I have to add to this. I believe my friends names take the frickin hippie pot pie. YO.
Ok. My favourite of all time is (or was when we were teenagers) a delicate, rocker stoner chick named Revolutionary Hope. Viva. She went by Revi.
The two hardest names to live with were Yippee and Swallow. He became John when he could but now goes by Yippee again. Swallow is Oseama Swallow and she married a guy whos last name is Wood. She thought it was all too porn so they changed their name to Heartwood. We lovingly teased her and called her o-semen-swallow-hard-wood. Oops. Now she is with Ryder, or Ride-her as he is affectionately known. Swallow changged her name for a short while when we were teenagers as did many of the folks on the list. All my love and respect! They have great humour and love their names.
I know a Sunny (side up), Calmand Eazy (over), Freedom Windchild, Cinnamon (not a hippy kid), Star, Sky, Leaf, Moss, Shanti, Happy Apple Blue Feather, Eva November Sea Ember Crazy Tree and my great friend Jesseca Johanna Lysastrata Divina and her three siblings Snowflower, Fawn Robin and Morning Sun. My brothers are Jeremy Sage Moving Sky and Ishi Naom.
Lets see Star claims she met a Yoni and Lingam as a kid at some festival...
I know a Kachina Lightening, Cosima, Saphira, Shellana, Dove, Neema, Gillia(previous 4 all siblings) Shoshanna,Rambling Rose, Shadow (last name Light), a couple of Orion's, Anime, Juniper, Tanyth, Rainbow, Starling Karuna, Mopsy, Hoatie, Vishva, Aramis, Venus, Sunmoon, Honour, Soleil and I could really go on but thats lots....My love and devotion to you all who have been named.
My only advice to new age hippies or freaks who wish to name from the heart is to give at least one innocous name like Bob or a pretty sound like Sala before you throw in the starchild windflowing stuff. O, I am Maili

I am visiting friends and my dearest friend has just told us that her son Skookumchuk (age 30) had a belly name that changed when they met him.
He was almost named Wahoo Stone Monkey Flower.
Awesome!

Well my name is Amber...I had a best friend named Jade..My Great Grandmother's name was Sara Fairy..When I have children I already have picked out Iris Pearl (for the Rainbow Goddess and my GG) and Pan Reed (for the Horned God and my Grandfather)

I raised 2 "tie-dye-diaper" babies, though, more usual than not, they were diaperless, ( a total of 5 kids lived in the commune of 15 original people, with several other people coming and going over the years that the "Cottage House" was in existance...

back to the names. our daughter is Alystra Rene, our son is Khedron Charles. they are now 35 and 32, their names are from the Book The City and the Stars by Arthur C Clarke....

the other kids that lived in the commune with us were Damian, (yes, he lived up to his name), Bianca, and at the moment the other kids name escapes me...

then we had many more kids in and out as the cast of charactors changed over the course of time...

I have always been know as LyingBare, which has been shortened over the years to just "Bare" my name for legal purposes is Barbara, though family call me Bobbi...... or bare...

those were the days, how I miss them, times were easier then and for me the nostalgia is sweet....

the "Cottage House" commune was in existance from 1974 - 1979, the house was a two story ranch style home, with 4 bedrooms downstairs, and a full upstairs loft...

which leads me to the reason I sought out this tribe, I am currently looking for an active Commune, intentional living or perhaps a Co-Op for a friend that is looking for that type of living arrangement..

though we do still have an open door communal type home, we are not taking any new people in due to space available.. all we have ow are couches, as the rooms in our home are filled....

if anyone knows of a communal type space please contact me.....

Much Love and Thanks
Bare

Hey Aradia,
I know RunningWater and StarLight, my mom was actually the midwife that helped Moon when StarLight was born. Small world.
My name is Kriya.

Ok so my name is pretty normal...Ruth Anne...well at least if I am an old southern woman...hahaha! My little ones are Loki Gaia and his partner sister Azure Rose. When we have another one (if a female) I will name her Padme Pele and if a male Savage Awakenings! For some years I went about as Ecstacy Jade then I was Elf now I am Ruth again...but if the universe gives a different name to someone to call me so be it I answer!

Okay, my name is Herod Maranatha Morningstar, my sisters are Felicia Angel and Laura Ann. Mom always said the names got more normal as they went. Our last names were hyphenated with our father & mothers names. Some friends were Apple, Jessiah, Star, Aretha Moonbeam, and Felice Navidad. Also have an older half brother who was named Leroy Celestial Fire.

Not exactly sure if I could be called a hippie, I grew up in a pretty conventional family with a sister named Emily. Growing up I did know three patchulies, several forests, hopi, aurora, neon, mary jane, poppy, jasmine, river, alder, trillium, sky, and echo. my mum once delivered a baby named placenta. my cousins are named xena and olive. I was born in 88' and grew up in portland OR.

Well, I got the normal name of the three. My brither's name is Iterius Windsong and my sister's name is Passion Starflower. My name is Joseph Peter. Don't ask me what happened because I don't know.
