Help! Ocean/Water names for girls!

Hi! I’m looking for a name that’s related with the ocean or water. I’ve been getting some recommendations, but I still can’t seem to find one that sounds really right to me.
I don’t want the name to be too out there that it’d be awkward to say the name out loud in a Starbucks shop (or for the worker not to have the faintest idea how to spell it). I also don’t want raised eyebrows whenever the name is introduced :(
Here are all of the names that were recommended! Some of them I don’t really like, and some of them are just ok to me. If you think any of these names sounds ok, please let me know!

Coral Cordelia Delphine Madeline Marina Marissa Meredith Nerissa Oceana Tallulah Thalassa

Apart from these, if you guys know any other ocean/water names that you think was really nice, please let me know! I really need the help. Thank you!

Yeah Kaia is lovely isn't it! Kai is the hawaaiin word for sea. It's always been one of my favorites!

I'm due in 4/5 weeks and wanted this name for my daughter. But we have chosen something a little more uncommon (not that Kaia is common but I think it's gonna be on the rise)
