In the dead heat of summer, your thoughts turn to ways to cool off. One of earth's most abundant resources, water, is perfect for refreshing you on those dog days of summer. Let our water baby names, such as Dylan and Meryl, be your guide for the perfect aqueous baby name for your little boy or girl!
 Nothing beats summer heat like a visit to the pool, a lake or the ocean. There isn't anything like the pure simplicity of water to challenge even the hottest, most sultry summer days. We used our love of our favorite summer destination to come up with quite a few baby names that mean water, the sea or the ocean.
Some of the names appearing here you may already be familiar with. Mary, meaning "star of the sea," is one of the most prevalent and popular girl names of all time. It has hundreds of variations, from obvious ones such as Marie to ones that aren't, such as Polly.
Irvin is a familiar boy name, meaning "fresh, green water." You also may be familiar with Dylan, a popular Welsh name meaning "son of the sea."
Other names on the list may sound a little more unique. For example, Maris would make a lovely and different first name for a baby girl. Talise is super cute and will likely make your little girl stand out for her pretty and unique name. If you don't fancy them for a first name, many of them would make astounding middle names. Brooks, for instance, would be a terrific middle name for any boy, as would Lake, Hali, Kai or Dover.
