What are some good names for a mermaid?

Maybe something related to nature or the ocean. Sometimes I like to combine two words to form a name or spell sometime I like backwards and it may come out really cool.

For example, if I were to come up with the name of a person, place or thing, I might take my favorite Greek goddess, "Aphrodite" and spell that backwards. It will become, "Etidorhpa." If it comes out as weird as that, I change it a bit. Like I would take away the "P" perhaps and get, "Etidorha" which sounds a bit more decent to me. Well that's one idea of mine.

But if you're looking for a name without any complications and want to get to the point, here are some of my ideas:

-Ariel

-Melody

-Nori

-Shelly

-Sandy

-Oceansea???

-Nalou

-Starshine

-Starry

-Eveningstar/Evenstar

Once you find a name you like, maybe you could shorten it out especially if you're writing a story so the other characters could call that one character by their shortened name/nick name... :P

I hope that helped! Good luck finding a great name you like!

Don't use sterotypes like Ariel, Aquamarine, or Syrena. Maybe Oceana? If that is still too sterotypical, try Melody? My friend wrote a story about mermaids and that was the main characters' name. Use a baby name generator if you are still stuck.

Try researching oceanography terms, and dont write just one, try to make up twenty. I know this aint much help but im not a mermaid person

As Beautiful as it is Ariel is very common... for a mermaid name at least. lol
