3 kids have 'theme' names...cant think of two more we like wwyd?

oldest daughter: marin
son: ocean
youngest daughter: pearl

expecting two girls...more than likely frat.

we cant come up w/ sea themed names we both like...most of them are *too* kitschy. we can spin off...like use nature names or places in california...or precious gems...i dunno. also, everyone in our family has five letter names...well mine is longer, but my nn which ive gone by forever is becky. hubs is lucas. does that factor in too?

ack!

i love the names:

juniper
indigo
iris
isla

 

The Maori name for the sea is Moana. Pronounced more-ana. This is a girls name. ^_^

 

Ronan :wub: -seal
Coral
Daria- sea in Persian
Dylan-great tide
Sandy
Ariel
Ailsa-island
Rhona-island

 

i actually know of this name and it is pretty, though i thought it was pronounced moe-ana...didnt know about the r sound. i met a girl w/ this name...and had written it down. i'll bring it up to hubs and see what he thinks.

oh and cordelia means daughter of the sea which is pretty neat...i like delia as a nickname. cant get behind names like sandy and ariel...even coral is a tough one. haha. but i do like the others.

 

If you can't find any sea names, I like the nature idea. There are lots to choose from.

 

L'onda is wave in Italian

Sea
Kye (or Kai) mean ocean

River
Laken
Delta
Dorie

 

My next favorite name for a future baby is Raine.

 

Mar means sea in Spanish and there are several of girl names starting with Mar.

Marina
Marisol (literally Sea and Sun)
Marcela
Maribel



I like Marina and Cordelia. (If that's not too close to your oldest's name.)

 

My favs are Cordelia and Daria.

 

SHAELYN: Modern English compound name composed of Shae "hawk-like" and Lynn "lake."

SIERRA: English name derived from the Spanish word, sierra, meaning "mountain range."

 

raine is on our list, actually. its a mixture of rain and rane (a mixer manfucturer...hubs is a dj. ha)

im just not CRAZY about cordelia...

i do like isla and rowan (which means 'little redhead')

or isla and moana...

gotta run these by the hubs.

keep em coming!

 

Azure
Sirena

I'd also get an atlas and look at names of islands and bays and lakes around the world...you may find one you like.

 

I like Isla and Cordelia a lot.
This page has a lot of female water names, though you might want to double-check the meanings:
Water names for girls

Good ones from it:
Nadia - dew
Araxie - a river inspiring poetic expression. Never heard this name before, but it's nice.
Vivian - Lady of the Lake
Rilla - brook
Lana - afloat

 

Nadia/Nadya/Nadiya is also the Russian/Slavic nickname for Hope. The full name is Nadezhda.

This one is a stretch: Madison, the name of the mermaid in Splash.
Otherwise I agree with Meximel on the name Marisol. I think it's beautiful and perfectly captures the theme you have going.

 

Sorry for double post--why can't I delete one?

 

Two names I've heard and like that have a 'water' theme are:
Sailor
Lakely

How is Isla pronounced? I thought it was I-la, but my Mom ran into an old friend of mine who named her daughter this and my Mom swore she called her A-la.

 

I also thought Isla was pronounced A-la

 

To me, it's Spanish meaning island. I pronounce it E-sla. Like the "eat", but "easla"

 

I'm with Kathy. How odd that it would be pronounced anything other than ee-slah.

 

ive pronounced it both ways...the spanish accented way and then isla...like isle, but with an a.

marisol is pretty, ive also liked maris.

maris and isla are pretty.

my thing is that i dont LOVE anything...this is so hard.

 

I thought it was I-la (EYE-la) or EE-sla, that's why I was surprised when I heard it could be A-la.
I've heard of the actress Isla Fisher, so I looked her up and her name is pronounced I-la (EYE-la).
Very pretty either way.
