Any ideas please - we have lots of boys names in mind but no girls names. Any help would be appreciated :)

oo I love nearly all these names (except Ursula and I thought that was related to bears)

Also lol at Sandy and Shelly.

Don't like Pearl and Coral.

Wouldn't use Tethys - far too bad-tempered!

Ursula :) Actually I quite like Ursula.

Coralie
Ionia
Marianne
Marietta
Maristela
Meredith
Dylana
Genevieve
Ondina

Also like Ianthe, Marina and Pearl from above ideas.

Ondine

The meaning of the name Ondine is Wave Of Water

The origin of the name Ondine is French

Notes: Ondine is water goddess in a French folk tale written by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. The name comes from the French word Onde which means wave.

Mariluz. Not exactly nautical but Mar = sea and luz = light in Spanish and 'i/ee' sounds like 'y' which = and.

so translates to sea and light. Grin

Friend asked us this years ago, to commemorate the presumed conception of their twins on a lovely beach in the Seychelles.

She was unimpressed by suggestions of Sandy and Shelley.
