I already have a Noah.
I'm looking for Beach/Seaside/Nautical inspired names for boys and girls.
I would ideally like solid 'proper' names (like Noah).

Thank you.

Jonah (and the whale)
Pearl
Coral
Rocky? 😄 trying to think...... the only other one is Harbour but I doubt that is what you mean by ‘proper’, although there are people called Harbour so IMO it’s a name.

I think Morwenna means maiden of the sea. Not sure you could pull it off without Cornish connections though.
