Water type names boy/girl

[frankenfanny]

Either I am having one of my more hippy-woo hormonal moments or following pure logic without perhaps common sense, but...

All my 3 DC's have names whose meaning involves water, as does one of my names. I only found this out after #3 was born. Mostly I have chosen names cos I like the sound of them.

Would it be daft to choose only from names that have this connection for DC#4; and could anyone help me out with suggestions? So far without including my 3 I have;

River
Avon
Douglas

.....

Evian sounds cute to me - odd but cute!

IF you did't do it deliberately for the first 3 DC then it seems a bit odd to restrict yourslef for DC4. Having said that:

Isla
Isis
Tarn
Lake
Calder

Nile?

Marina
Ocean
Brooke
Margaret (Pearl of the sea)

Rain
Storm
Ocean
Marina
Rio

Aqua
Taymar
Shannon
Oceania
Lindsay - [deep dark pool]
Orinoco
Coral
Pearl

I like Marina - fave childhood name. Rio is kinda unisex, yes?

Found another couple;

Clodagh
Kelda

Ria is the feminine of Rio.

After 3 kids it is hard enough to choose a name, having some kind of restriction helps!

Sabrina
Clyde
Kelvin
Kaiden
Murdoch
Morgan

Any opinions?

Moana is the maori word for sea, it is used in NZ as a girl's name (pronounced Moh-arna).

I think it's lovely.

Thanks, Rodent it is a lovely name but better with a NZ family connection, I think. Still, will add it to the list to argue over with DP!

Hmmm, def pg hormones at play, Orinoco is growing on me.....a little Orrie

I like Mara, gaelic for sea. Considered it myself.

Maris/Marisa - latin? Doesn't stella maris mean star of the sea?

Marina is nice

Wow thanks Diplodoris! That is some list!

I have ages to think about it but so far I like Rio, Marina and Hudson.

Zazen

Have you got an Ava already? Only that has some kind of watery connection IIRC

No Ava here! IIRC myself I think it is related to Avalon, which is water-related.

You're welcome, it was interesting to look them up

Dione
Inna
Naida
Talia
Zhaleh
Rocio
Nahla
Kailani
Neva

Jonah
Arlen

Murray means 'seaman' apparently.

I know a gorgeous Italian woman called Mariana. (all varieties of Mary/Marie have a water meaning too)
Whitney means 'from clean water', and associations to Ms Houston will soon be fading.
Ianthe means 'of the ocean' in Greek (she was the daughter of Oceanus in Greek mythology). Nickname Thea.
Darya is Persian for 'the sea'.
I like Shannon too.

What about the name of a river, lake or sea that is special to your family, where you live, where you've been on holiday? (I'm thinking more Nene, Derwent, Ness, Lochlan... than Mersey, Windermere or Thames.) Just a thought!

have none to add, just think it's a lovely tradition and looks like barely any restrictions - there are tons of gorgeous names there!
