    I used the following site, as did all the Mers in my pod- http://hasani.net.phtemp.com/water.html

    Look for something that helps tell your story. I chose mine, Merin, meaning "of the sea." It is such a simple name, and yet I found that it was very beautiful and suited my personality well. My other mermaids chose Diona, "from the sacred spring," Nautia, "from the sea," and Lorelie, a play on the classic siren Lorelei. Find a name that you connect to and then do not second-guess yourself.

    Best of luck!

    I've been on this site for quite a while now and I still haven't decided so don't feel too discouraged LOL. I've got a few ideas I really like but I'm still a bit unsure about them...don't worry about it too much! I'm sure we'll both figure out something soon. =)

    Oh wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is having trouble deciding a name. I wish you all the best of luck in finding your mer-names (as I do my own) and Merin is a beautiful name

    EDIT: Well, I had a strike of inspiration and thought of a name and it clicked with me. Funny, just when I was getting discouraged I found the 'one' as if magically, and am now just waiting for the change to be official on the forums Galiana suits me, I think.

    For some strange reason, I find myself drawn to the color orange, even though I don't wear orange colored clothes. Have requested a name change to Mermaid Jaffa because I like orange coated chocolate, which are called Jaffas.

    Another reason is there are already so many mers with real fish origins (tails) and mermaidy names, I thought I'd choose something different that isn't difficult to pronounce. And if my current fabric tails wears out, tears etc, it can be easily replaced with another tail in a diff pattern in orange.

    My Mermaid name is Adalira. Which actually means: Fairy Of The Harp.
    The reason i loved the name is because i also love fairies and i play the harp.
    So one day i was searching for fairy names online and found it on a website....the name alone is beautiful...but when i saw the meaning of the name i knew that name belonged to me.
    And even though it is maybe not an official mermaid name i feel it has a very mermaidy (if that's even a word lol) sound
    Don't rush finding your perfect mermaid name. One day it will come to you. Wether you find it searching online or wether you just simply feel it or speak it out of nowhere, read it in a book, hear it in a movie or song.
    When you hear it you will know that that name belongs to you

    I'm still searching for my official Mer name... Any help would be appreciated! My given name is Bridgette and I'm in the Pod of the South. If any of my fellow Mers would like to send me some inspiration, I'd be delighted Some background info : I live by the Gulf but feel more drawn to the freshwater Springs, am a nurturing soul (work in healthcare as well), quiet yet creative and social spirit, pearl-lavender - turquoise - greens are my preferred coloring, and I have a special passion for shark conservation and education.

    Meara is the last name of my spiritual name (Marzanna Ecaterina Meara) and has 2 different meanings. Irish Meaning: The name Meara is an Irish baby name. In Irish the meaning of the name Meara is: Happy.


    SoulUrge Number: 7
    People with this name have a deep inner need for quiet, and a desire to understand and analyze the world they live in, and to learn the deeper truths.


    Expression Number: 2
    People with this name tend to be quiet, cooperative, considerate, sympathetic to others, adaptable, balanced and sometimes shy. They are trustworthy, respecting the confidences of others, and make excellent diplomats, mediators and partners. They are often very intuitive. They like detail and order, and often find change worrisome. They may sometimes feel insecure or restless.

    And as a Gaelic name it means "sea" or "ocean".

    The link I posted above has a variety of names about Springs or bodies of water inland. That might be a good place to look?

    Aurelia just sort of came to me as I was thinking of names. I didn't want something that every other mermaid had and I wanted something that was pretty and rolled off the tongue when you said it.

    My inspiration for my mermaid name, Starfrit, is the most glorious and mystical of all!

    ... I got it off a frying pan I saw in a department store.

    Mermaid Meilyn is catchy and it's my actual name. Another name would just be too confusing for me.

    Mermaids Hannah Fraser, Mermaid Melissa, and Mermaid Kariel along with a few others use their regular names too. I love Kariel's name ♡
