PRAIRIE  

Gender: M
Origin: Nature name

An evocative, windswept choice that is part of the third generation of western-influenced names, picking up where first Jesse and then Dakota left off, though with a slight feminine edge.

Prairie is being discussed in our message boards:

• Wilder?
• Our 3rd Baby Girl - in need of unusual name
• Alaska or Saskia?
• favorite names from children's books
• I read it in a book and loved it!
