Beach/Seaside/Nautical inspired names!

I already have a Noah.
I'm looking for Beach/Seaside/Nautical inspired names for boys and girls.
I would ideally like solid 'proper' names (like Noah).

Thank you.

Maren (girls' name, pronounced with a long a)
Peter (as in Blue, and it also means rock)
Sable (that one's probably unisex)
Conchita (means little seashell)

A marina is a car park for boats. With manky water.

Island names are pretty good. Eilean basically means island, in an anglicised way. Other island names that are pretty mainstream are Skye, Isla(y), Iona.

I know a little girl called "sea" I also met an old man called "ocean".
Unusual but not crazy.

Water related boys names are difficult - only obvious ones to me are Ford, Jonah, Moses, Wade, Dylan, Adrian, Caspian, River, Morgan, Leander, Leith, Clyde, Beck, Jordan and Fen.

Girls are slightly easier (I'm sure you've already had most of them) - River, Nerissa, Nerida, Nerine, Ondine, Marina, Marisa, Morgana, Morwenna, Adriana/Adrienne, Cordelia, Brooke, Maren, Sabrina, Oceane, Nimue, Delta, Indra, Rain, Shannon.
