Oceana

[Lilyhop]

Or any other water / ocean inspired names?

Oceana is my favourite but also on the list -River Rose
-Lakelyn
-Niagara

Stella Maris. Star of the sea. It was in a rather tragic Alan Ruckman film.

Oceana just makes me think of the nightclubs and the cruise ship.

Lakelyn and Niagara, not at all my taste but each to their own.

River is lovely! Brook/Brooke is similar.

Some other water/ocean inspired names that I like:

One of my favourites, Maren, it's means star of the sea!

Mariana, the deepest place in the Pacific Ocean.

Morgan, Morwenna, Nerissa, Yara all have meanings connected to the sea.

Truly you cannot name your child after a chain of nightclubs but it’s actually the best name on the list.

Niagara? The viagra jokes write themselves.

Thank you all- have added Coral to the list, I think DH might actually like that one. And also Mariana - haven’t heard of that.
I thought of Sailor earlier and Navy but DH vetoed those ones, even as middle names.

It does.

And Lakelyn sounds like a motel.

Don’t be stupid OP. Your child has to live with this for about 80 years. You aren’t naming a novelty goldfish.

Marina and Cora are fine and there will be others.

Check this out. There's a long list of suggestions:

Mariana will invite Mariana's Trench jokes
People will think Lakelyn is just a mis-hearing of Caitlin
Poor kid.

Go for Ocean if you must or any other of the marine themed names that have been suggested.

Marnie?

Sabrina - From Miltons poem and the Latin name for The river Severen

@Adultchildofelderlyparents Maren is beautiful.

Marissa

Mariette- means star of the sea

Sandy
Shelly
Cliff

Violetta, if he likes Violet

I used Bay as a middle name for DD1. it's not a common name, but felt very useable to me.

Stella Maris means Star of the Sea. It is one of the titles of the Mary, Mother of God.

Lakelynn and Niagara are terrible. And yes Oceana just reminds me of the nightclub!

Oceana - sounds like a sea life visitor attraction
-River Rose - and flooded the valley
-Lakelyn - plastics
-Niagara - Viagra

Oceana - cruise ship
Niagara - Viagra - DO NOT inflict this on your child. Her school days will be hell.
Lakeylyn - all I can think of is that it would be shortened to licking

I once saw a girl leaning over a bar stool with a guys fingers inside her in Oceana Swansea, and that is the first thing that comes to mind.

Sorry OP 😂

Oceana- crap nightclub, an aquarium, a sailing boat, a continent - but not a name

What about Allegra? For some reason it feels oceany to me

Lakelyn- the Lakeland kitchen shop

Coralie?

Jeez noooo
