A meaningful girls name referring to nature and the weather but close to a real name

I want to find a girl's name means something like rain or mist or sea or snow or something natural to do with the weather or water, but that also sounds like a name.

I know there's no end of girls names that come from flowers, but what about from the weather or water?

Has Undine already been suggested as a water name? Otherwise I love Tempest as a name.

Dima: From Arabic meaning "rain". Its a type of continuous rain with stillness, kind of like a mist.

Marine, which is a French girl's name.
Flora
There's an Irish name which sounds like "breeze", but I'm not sure how it's spelt - Breidg maybe? Hoping someone more knowledgeable can help out.

Love previous suggestions of Eira, Neve / Niamh, Seren, Alba, Talia and Mara - all so lovely.

I also love -

Amaya (night rain)
Alya (sky)
Ria (mouth of a river)

Wow, two breezy suggestions cross-posted

MeanLeanRunnerbean · 31/05/2024 22:28

Iris? A beautiful name which means rainbow

piefacedClique · 31/05/2024 22:27

I taught a lovely wee boy once called keanu:… means “cool breeze” in Hawaiian I think? Perfect name for him

shockthemonkey · 31/05/2024 22:27

Special kind of refreshing summer breeze called “Meltem” in Turkish.
I’m sure proper Turkish speakers will correct me.
Also Yagmur (don’t pronounce the g) - rain. Again, might be worth checking the spelling 😅

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 31/05/2024 22:24

There’s so many names related to weather and/or water in terms of meaning but if you want ones that are actually words (like flower or tree names Daisy, Willow etc), then I think you are limited to Raine, Misty, Lake, Brooke, River, Oceane and Marina? Of those the only one that doesn’t feel a bit dated or hippyish to me is Marina - which is very international and imo quite elegant sounding (and Shakespearean).

If you just want water related meaning then my personal faves are Morwenna, Morgana, Nereia, and Shakespearean Nerissa.
