Summer/Nautical Inspired Names

64 replies

I absolutely adore everything nautical and just love the warm summer weather.
Today while soaking up the lovely warm weather the UK is currently experiencing, I got thinking about some names.
The only one I came up with for a girl is Summer.

Could you please throw me some nautical/summer names for boys and girls?

Just as an aside, what are your views on naming a child after a parents love? Good idea or not?

Many thanks.

Also maybe a bit off track and not a direct connection but what about olive for a nautical name? As in Popeye’s girlfriend.

There are masses of names amongst the Oceanids, the sea-nymphs of Greek mythology. I like Ida, Doris, Clio, Ianthe and Xanthe.

Not sure if it’s your taste at all but I know a little girl called soleil (french for sun) and gets called sunny as a nickname. Her mum is french-Canadian though so perhaps it wouldn’t work on a non french speaking family but I’ve always found it quite sweet !

Pearl, coral, Ariel, Shelley, Cordeilia (Welsh goddess, it means jewel of the sea)

Summer names-
Aurora
Kira (Persian for sun and Latin for light)
Meadow
Daisy
Helen (means Sunday or shining light)
Jasmine

I also love Marisol. Ever since I first watch CSI Miami!
