[Opinions] Bayla
I still have water names running around my head. I dont know why, but since this morning I got the urge to find more water names I like since I really do like bodies of water.I just came up with Bayla. Which seems to be the best Bay name I can think of. Baylyn has the ever so trendy lyn ending, and Bayleigh which was suggested, is just a creative spelling of Bailey.Opinions on Bayla? (I am not saying I am actually thinking about using these names, but I am bored and seeing what I can come up with)

I know Bayla / Beila (buy-la) as a Yiddish form of Baila and/or Bella. I like it a lot.

I don't like it- it seems very made-up, sorry. I know a girl with a cousin (male) named just Bay. I think that's nice. Some suggestions...Girls:
Marina- "of the sea"
Moana- "wide expanse of water"
Cordelia- "daughter of the sea"
Muriel- "bright sea"
Océane- Oceane- prn. o-say-AN
Kelda- "a spring"
Muireann- prn. like Maureen, "fair sea"
Tasneen- "a spring in paradise"
Aeronwy- "berry river" or "river berry"
Tallulah- "leaping waters"
Maris- "of the sea"
Elva- "ripples in a stream" (in Icelandic)Boys:
Bay
Jubal- "small stream"
Lake
Raeburn- "stream where does drink" (does, as in female deer)
Mortimer- "still water"
Llyr- "the sea"
Dylan- "sea"
Rio- "river"
Morgan- "sea circle", Morgan as a fem. name is probably unrelated to this meaning.
Wilburn- "stream from a spring"
Dacre- "trickling stream"
Caspian- like the Caspian SeaEither:
Ocean
River
Kai- "the sea"
Meredith- "sea lord", I prefer this on a boy, but it's usually considered unisex
Shannon- heh ;), "old wise river" (although sometimes said to mean "little wise one" like Seanán- Seanan)Hope I helped! :)ShannonEdited for hyperlinks.

Hmm ...Bailey, however it's spelled (but more so if Bailee, Baylee), is far too trendy.Bayla just sounds daft. Like "bail of" with a some dialect or other. Got a bayla water? Sorry :-(

Marina
Maris
Marissa

RheaBoys
Channing
Conway
Merlin / MerlynEither
Aeron (pronounced EYE-run ... the name of a river in Wales as well as a Welsh name)

Honestly?It sounds stupid. If you want a name that has something to do with water, don't make up stupid names. Do a search, and find a name that has a water meaning. There are tons of names with water meanings.Bayla sounds like a kreativ dog's name.Siri
