DD, [name]Grace[/name] [name]Patricia[/name], was named after my mother’s middle name, [name]Ann[/name], which means [name]Grace[/name]. We would like to keep this going with our next baby (not pregnant yet). [name]MIL[/name]'s middle name is [name]Lynn[/name], which means lake or waterfall.
For a girl, we like [name]Meryl[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]. [name]Meryl[/name] means “shining sea” or some variation thereof, so we don’t think that is has to mean lake or waterfall, but some type of association with water will be fine.
However, we’re stuck on a boy’s name. DH likes [name]Jack[/name], which is his mother’s dad’s first name. I like [name]Jack[/name], but it seems like a nickname to me and I would prefer something more formal. (Also his grandfather wasn’t the nicest man and I really don’t want to think of him when I call my son.) I would like to use the same format for [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Meryl[/name] by using the meaning of [name]Lynn[/name] as his first name. What water-inspired names can you think of that would go well with [name]Grace[/name]?
Middle names are family names and options include: [name]Walter[/name], [name]David[/name], [name]Ivan[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Robert[/name], [name]Alan[/name], [name]Rolan[/name] (prn Raw-lin), [name]Raymond[/name], [name]Ellsworth[/name], [name]Urban[/name], [name]Hezekiah[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Leroy[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Marvin[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Forrest[/name], [name]Simeon[/name] and [name]William[/name].

Some others you may want to consider:
[name]Lachlan[/name] (literally means “from the lakes”)
[name]Ronan[/name] (“little seal”
[name]Holt[/name], [name]Jordan[/name], [name]Martin[/name], [name]Jackson[/name], [name]Wilson[/name], [name]Harris[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Clinton[/name] and [name]Norris[/name] are just some of the lakes found in the US. Maybe you could look at the lakes in a state that has personal meaning for you and see if one jumps out?
