Sibling names for Delmer Zane and June Kahana!

[anna.bliss]

Lately I have been trying to figure out names that will go with Delmer and June (my children's names). I have been having a hard time! Our last name rhymes with Bessie.

I loved Nora, but I feel it is getting popular.

My maiden name is Bliss and I think it would be cool to use that somewhere. I like it as a first name but I don't know if it goes with my other children.

I also like names that relate to the ocean, but it is not a must. Delmer meaning "of the sea" and June's middle name is named after a bay in Hawaii.

I have also been trying to pull from family names. Here are some family names that could be used somewhere:

Ruth (I have thought of using Truth somewhere)
Cora
Nora
Evanthia
Hopestill
Byrdie
Ophelia

William
Anston
Alva
Elliot
Nathan
Bliss
Theodore
Arthur or Art

I am pretty much open to any suggestions, they don't have to be from the family list. Old fashioned names are my favorite

I love Nora! I think it goes great with your kids names, so does Cora.
Theodore, Arthur and William go well with your sibset too.
Ideas:

girls:
Cora Bliss
Etta Bliss
Rosemary Cora (means "dew of the sea")
Amelia T(Ruth)
Alice Ophelia
Eleanor nn Nora Bliss
Josephine T(Ruth)
Clara Hopestill
Vivian Nora
Marilyn T(Ruth) (Mary and Lynn both have ocean meanings)
Pearl Evanthia (kind of an ocean name)
Mabel Ophelia
Georgia Ruth
Olive Evanthia
Lydia Bliss
Beatrice Nora
Marissa (means of the sea) T(ruth)

Boys:
Theodore Dylan (means great tide)
Arthur Hadrian (means from the Adriatic Sea)
Nathan Kai (Kai means sea in Japanese)
William Morgan ( Morgan means sea circle)
Walter
Louis
Andrew
Peter
Lyle
Oliver
Franklin
Nathaniel
Linus
Jules
Henry
Edmund

Good Luck!

Wow! I love a lot of these names you both suggested!! Thank you! I can't get over the names that end in "ora". I just love them! I think I will use one of those most likely. I also have another question. My Grandma's name is Veora, and I really like that name too. I just haven't heard it anywhere else. What do you think of it? Thank you so much for your input!

Thank you for your time!

Also, what do you think of the name Veora? It is my Grandmas name. I like it because it is similar to Nora and Vera. I just haven't heard it anywhere else.
I also love the name August. I just don't know if it would be weird since I already have a June.
Thanks again!

Morwenna Bliss
Thalassa Bliss
Nereid True
Coralie Bliss
Nerissa True

Are probably my favourite ocean-related names. Nereid and Nerissa relate to the ocean/sea sprites of Greek mythology and Thalassa is also a mythological sea-reference. So would Marina be but Marina could sound weird if you actually spend a lot of time on boats.

Coralie is a reference to Coral, I wasn't sure if that and/or Pearl were too remote a connection? Seems pretty oceanic to me. I spared you all the freshwater stuff I could think of.

I like Bliss. True is interesting but I favour Bliss and Blythe.

Thank you striped socks! I like your ocean related suggestions. I am part Greek so I like the Greek names too! I like Cora better than Coralie but maybe it could be a nickname. I like Pearl as a middle name. Bliss is my favorite too!! Thanks again!
