What are some good names, male and female, that are reminiscent of the sea / have meanings related to aquatic stuff?

Like Sebastian and Ariel but not so Disney.

Dylan : ) it means "son of the sea."

Dylan, the Welsh god of the sea.

Pearl

I personally think Ariel is a gorgeous Shakespearean name, nothing to do with a Disney mermaid. Same with Sebastian.

Coral(ie)
Caspian
River
Misty
Stormy

My favorites are Marina and Coral. I actually went to elementary school with a girl named Coral.

I was going to suggest both of these! I have cousins with these names (not siblings).

[jadedsurprises.livejournal.com]

My mom named me Adriana del Mar (Adriana - for the Adriatic, and del Mar meaning "of the sea")

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

My name-- Meredith! It's got "mer" right in the name and (Welsh) means protector from the sea or guardian of the sea.

Other than being in the Disney film The Little Mermaid, Sebastian and Ariel have nothing to do with the sea.

I dunno, but I <3 queer as folk, especially Brian...

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I always loved Marin for a girl.

Well, to be literal, I really like the names Lake, River, Rain, and Ocean.

Some other names that have watery meanings/connotations:
