We already have 4 girls - Honey, Indigo, Starling and Bluebell.

We're a bit stuck for another girls name.
The only one we both like is Aurora but we're not enamoured by it.
We'd love something sea or sailing themed but can't think of anything

If it's a boy our top 5 are

  • Eden
  • Clover
  • Apollo
  • Elm
  • Argyll

How about Hudson for a boy?
Iris would be nice for a girl.

bridgetreilly · 20/07/2018 10:01

Honey, Indigo, Starling, Bluebell and...

Girls:
Thyme
Breeze

Boys:
Sinbad
Raleigh
Drake
Gull
Zephyr

DS went to school with
Fathom
Storm
Sky Blue

Clover is NOT a boys name. 15 year old boys need a name which means they won't get bullied because of it. Bet your partner hasn't got a wacky name.

Starboard
Leeward
Jib
Keel
Spinnaker
Skipper
Sunsail
Pilot
Reef
Jack

I think Zephyr could be used for a girl.

Morwenna means 'sea wave' in Cornish.

Argyll is my favourite of your boy names. Elm is OK, but might get converted to Elmo (as in little red monster from Sesame Street). Oakley would fit with your daughter's names.

Quinta = fifth?

MariaMadita · 20/07/2018 18:25

Quinta is nice.

I also like Quentin.

Atlanta (I know it's a town as well) but after the Atlantic.
Atalanta (from the Greek myths)
Mariana (as in the Mariana Trench, deepest part of the ocean)
Name of a river? Thames?

itssquidstella · 20/07/2018 19:07

Atalanta is nice.

If you like weather names, how about Cleodie (I think it's Irish, I taught one who pronounced it "Cloudy")? It's really pretty.

MikeUniformMike · 20/07/2018 19:13

Tamar
Shannon
Bailey
Rockall
Mallin

MikeUniformMike · 20/07/2018 19:13

Finisterre?

MikeUniformMike · 20/07/2018 19:16

Morwenna probably means maiden.

ElsaMars · 20/07/2018 19:21

I may be crazy but I quite like 'Cloudy' 😣😁

stompdino · 20/07/2018 19:55

Willow ?

Forest ?

bridgetreilly · 22/07/2018 22:08

Quin actually could work, for either a boy or a girl, in this situation. Cute.

FartnissEverbeans · 23/07/2018 01:09

I love the suggestions of Tempest, Sailor and Calypso.

The Arabic name Mouna/Muna means 'water'.

I've also had a look at the names of the sea
nymphs (Naiads) in Greek myth: they have some awesome names, but I haven't had time to check all the stories!

Cleodora
Daphne
Lilaea
Lara
Memphis (didn't realise this was where the name came from!)
Liriope

Cornish names, because why not - all with sea connections:

Lamorna
Morvoren (means mermaid)

Smoliver · 24/07/2018 10:44

I like Aurora, Eden and Elm from your list. Elmer might also be a nice option to give you the nickname Elm.

Girl:
Posey
Cherry
Emerald
Ember
Marina
Briar
Dahlia

Boy:
Beau
Griffin
Nile
Ash/Asher

Girl or Boy:
Brook
Wren
Fable

Clementine. Fabulous name.
