Honestly, I’m not a big fan of any of them. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] would be the best on the list [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

I actually really like [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], so I’m suggesting that.

I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_u]Lake[/name_u] and [name_u]Harbor[/name_u].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are Nautilus and [name_u]Harbor[/name_u].
I like:
Mariner
[name_m]Quay/name_m “key(s)”
[name_m]Piers[/name_m]
[name_m]Collier[/name_m]
Maelstrom
Windward
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is the only one I would consider a name. The other just seem too wordy to me.

I too voted [name_u]Harbor[/name_u], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_u]Lake[/name_u].

Joining in on the [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] suggestion! And [name_m]Cove[/name_m]. [name_m]Cove[/name_m] is gorgeous!

I agree with this.

I have [name_m]Crew[/name_m] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] as a GP name. [name_m]Crew[/name_m] has special meaning for us. I would use [name_m]Crew[/name_m] or [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] as first names. [name_u]Harbor[/name_u], Maritime, Nautilus, and [name_u]Lake[/name_u] I can see being used as middle names. I do not know if I personally would. I would not use a title name; [name_m]Captain[/name_m], [name_m]Skipper[/name_m], and [name_m]Admiral[/name_m].

[name_m]How[/name_m] about:

[name_m]Anchor[/name_m]
[name_m]Argo[/name_m]
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_u]Bayou[/name_u]
[name_u]Brook[/name_u]
[name_m]Commodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Crow[/name_m] ([name_m]Crow[/name_m]'s nest)
[name_m]Loch[/name_m]
[name_m]Moor[/name_m]
Oxbow
[name_m]Port[/name_m]

What about [name_m]Piers[/name_m]

I agree most are too wordy and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is the only “legit” name; however, I am kind of drawn to [name_m]Crew[/name_m]. It’s a little yuppy though. Very [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] League, Hamptons, sailboating type (and obviously crew) crowd. But it’s still kind of cool.

I like the suggestion of [name_m]Piers[/name_m]. I agree a title name is a little too much.

What about [name_u]River[/name_u]? Or [name_u]Kai[/name_u]?

I forgot to mention that I have a friend with a son named [name_m]Boston[/name_m]. When she first told me that she was choosing that name, I was honestly mortified. It sounded absurd to me. However, two years later, I think it works.

On this list, I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Crew[/name_m], and [name_u]Harbor[/name_u], but [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is the only one I would use for a name. What about adding Mariner, [name_m]Oceanus[/name_m], and [name_u]Kai[/name_u]?

I totally agree. I can’t imagine calling my son [name_m]Admiral[/name_m] or [name_m]Crew[/name_m]. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], on the other hand, is a beautiful name!

1 [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - memorable
2 [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] -nautical
3 [name_m]Boston[/name_m] - only if the place holds some significance for you

Oh, I love [name_m]Piers[/name_m] and [name_u]Haven[/name_u] a lot too. I also forgot [name_m]Anchor[/name_m].

And Mariner, love the sound.

[name_m]Loch[/name_m], [name_m]Moor[/name_m], and [name_m]Port[/name_m]! Wonderful. [name_m]How[/name_m] could I forget these? :slight_smile:

I like [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] (prefer Harbour), [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Crew[/name_m] and [name_u]Lake[/name_u].

I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] from the options. Otherwise I’d suggest: Mariner, Marinus, or [name_m]Rigby[/name_m].

I love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Boston[/name_m] and [name_m]Crew[/name_m]. I also like [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_m]Cove[/name_m] and [name_m]Piers[/name_m], which I think were already suggested. What about [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]? It’s pretty common compared to your other names, but it means “son of the sea” which I find really sweet.
