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?

Why do so many people misspell this name when the whole point of it is that it's 'heaven' backwards?!

Sorry I meant Stella Maris (star of the sea)

Mara also means sea

We know a child called Sunny. Mara means sea in Scottish gaelic

MagePaige · 31/05/2024 21:59

Mara Maris means star of the sea, so could use either

Eilidh or Aileen - rays of sunshine
Lachina - land of lochs
Murdina - warrior of the sea
Moira - star of the sea
Niamh - was the daughter of Manannán mac Lir, the sea god.
Muireall - bright sea
Alna - flowing water

I like Moira star of the sea. That's lovely. And not one I've heard a lot, the only Moira I've ever heard of is Moira Stewart the newsreader.

I love Niamh, it's a beautiful name but I just think most English speakers might not pronounce it properly and she'd have to deal with being called the wrong thing a lot.

Given the guilty verdict of the Trump trial, I think Stormy is a name deserving some praise 😉
