My wife and I have always loved to sail and we're expecting our first child! Its a boy and for the first name we're thinking either Jack or Jamie. Since we're such lovers of the sea though we thought it would be nice to give him a middle name after the sea but we don't know any names, so if you know any that have the meaning sea/ocean I would love to know!

There was a baby born on the Mayflower when the pilgrims came to America. The baby was a boy and was named Oceanus. He was named this because he was born on the ocean. He was the son of a man named Stephen Hopkins.

I know you don't want any more "m" names, but I much prefer Marine to Marinelle. Now for the rest: Keilani - Hawaiian for "sea and sky" Pela - Greek for "of the sea" Aramoana - Maori for "pathway to the ocean" Océane - French for "the ocean" Romy - Latin for "sea dew" Ennis - Gaelic for "island" Whitney - English for "white island" Amphitrite - Greek goddess of the sea Brizo - Greek goddess of sailors Calliste - a Greek sea nymph Doris - Greek goddess of the sea's bounty I know some of these are a bit of a stretch, but hopefully it gave you some ideas =)
