Girl MN CP

Okay! It is coming up to the anniversary of my fathers death and I am getting sad as always. I posted about an A name that you guys thought would work with a MN of Wilbur and now I have been thinking of girls names to honor him. I thought of something water/fishing related and came upon a large list of Greek Water Nymphs.

I found a few I liked and researched trying to find the pronunciation.

Do you think any of these would be acceptable middle names? If you think I am wrong about a spelling or pronunciation please let me know!

I think Mina and Halia are beautiful. I love middle names with meaning. 

Thank you! I am swaying towards Halia!

I voted for Mina and just wanted to say what a great way to honor your father!

I like the first three.  Naiad isn't really a name to me.  It's a type/classification of nymph.  Melee is a close combat weapon or fight style.

If you want to look at specific nymphs:

Naiads are nymphs of rivers and wells and things (running water, usually fresh water)

Oceanids and nereids are for salt water

I like them all.  I was also looking for water names for my LO and was pleased to see that Meredith is related to water somehow (it's been a while, LO is 16mo....).  Meredith is my twin sister's name.  I have always liked it.  Would that work for you?  I also liked Marina but that is very obviously a water name!

Meridith and Kendra are both names I have found that are related to water and they are also names I personally would use for a first name.

Meridith is beautiful!
