Water names for boys?

[angel1976]

DS2 born last night! Have posted before... Still no name...

DS1 is Aidan. I love Theodore for DS2, I think DH will come round to it. I also love Dashiell but no way DH will consider it.

DH likes Charlie, Ben, Dylan, Justin, Julian, Elliot and Ethan (the last two names I'm okay with but not convinced!).

However, I always liked the idea of a water name for DS2 (seeing as Aidan means 'little fire', I thought an opposite name would be nice to counter-balance...). And DS2 was born with his waters intact i.e. born in the membranes, which I was told is fairly rare and old wives tales say it means he will never drown. So it seems that the significance of a water name is now even more appropriate. However, I don't want any weird or out there names either. The only 'water' name I can think of is Caspian. Any other suggestions before I go for Theodore? Thanks!

Calder - Welsh meaning stream

Beck - Norse meaning stream

Riley - Irish meaning stream

Andros - Polish meaning Sea

Murphy - Irish meaning Sea Warrior

I like Douglas from previous suggestions.

Names not already suggested, but perhaps a little obscure:

Calder - Rough waters
Mortimer - Still water
Moss - From the Water
Morgan - Old Welsh Sea Circle"
Meredith - Sea Lord
Merlin - Sea Fortress
Lir - an Irish god of the sea

On the biblical front there is always Jonah

Or there is always Napoleon, who was also (apparently) born in his caul.

I'm not sure I'd go with any of these!

What about an air or stone name. I rather like Peter at the moment.

Congratulations to you both.

Clyde
Hudson (Bay)
(St) Laurence (River)

Umm - easier with girls, isn't it!

Still think Byron is a cool name - there is a Byron's Pool near us, and he was a noted swimmer ...

Ocean
River

Niall

Byron was born "in cauls", I think.

Thank you all. We have decided on Theodore. In the end, we just decided we don't love any other names as much and little Theo sounds just right for our little man right now.

Jellymane - What have you decided on?

Finally decided on a name - totally unwater-connected. We decided on Leon Thomas. There were some great suggestions, but either didn't work with our surname or just didn't sound right! Never mind! Loving the name Theo by the way and its such a relief to finally have a name for him instead of baby!
