Friend asked us this years ago, to commemorate the presumed conception of their twins on a lovely beach in the Seychelles.

She was unimpressed by suggestions of Sandy and Shelley.

Mariluz. Not exactly nautical but Mar = sea and luz = light in Spanish and 'i/ee' sounds like 'y' which = and.

so translates to sea and light. Grin

Ondine

The meaning of the name Ondine is Wave Of Water

The origin of the name Ondine is French

Notes: Ondine is water goddess in a French folk tale written by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. The name comes from the French word Onde which means wave.

Ursula :) Actually I quite like Ursula.

thumbwitch · 11/08/2010 16:18

oo I love nearly all these names (except Ursula and I thought that was related to bears)

Also lol at Sandy and Shelly.

Don't like Pearl and Coral.

Wouldn't use Tethys - far too bad-tempered!

lulabellamozerella · 11/08/2010 16:23

Beryl - colour of the sea
Cordelia - daughter of the sea
Dorie - wealth of the sea
Hali - sea in greek
Mariona - sea
Meryl - Bright sea
Morgana - sea circle
Nerine - one from the sea

Hope that helps!

Guinevere / Jennifer means white wave (I think).

BreastmilkDoesAFabLatte · 11/08/2010 17:30

Love the idea of twins Sandy and Shelley. I don't think they would ever forgive their parents, though!
