About Timber
Timber as a name is given to slightly more girls than boys each year. It's actually got a cute sound, ala Kimber(ly) and may be an original tree choice for a girl. Timberly and Timberlee are also found (but not encouraged).
Timber for boys#3503 US
Though some forward-looking parents are now choosing wood-related names like Oak, Pine, and Ash, this generic option would be even more avant garde.
Pronounced TIM-ber.
As of October 2026, Timber ranked #3769 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2257 in 2015.
