Love this theme for a girls name! I know a Coral in real life, I think it's a lovely name.

Ianthe and Marina mean 'of the sea'. What about the names of seas or oceans? Erm, Caspian, Atlantic, Red... ?!

I know a lovely baby girl called Oceanne, pronounced Or sea yen. That's very ocean-like!

I know Morgan has been mentioned up thread somewhere, but we almost chose Morgana for DD when she was born in 2009, seems slightly more feminine and according to my names book here means 'from the sea shore' welsh apparently.

quite glad we didn't choose it as there is a lovely little girl at playgroup with that same name, her birthday is within a week or so of DD's as well. If it weren't for that we-d probably have it on our list again this time, still like it.

DD had a friend called Pebble, (I'm not certain it was on her BC, but it was what she always used.)

Absolutely lovely girl.

muireann- an Irish name, pronounced mwur-in, meaning of the sea
