It's a girl's name. Seas are female.

I know a 4 year old Ocean.

He ends up being called Oshe by everyone.

Last time DH and I took him on a day out with our DS, DH asked me if he could rename him Ben for the day as he was finding the constant calling for "Ocean" a little embarrassing.

He's a lovely lad in spite of his affliction.

Good grief - no! Do you not know any small boys - they are merciless once they get in a playground.

Its OK.

As long as your surname is not 's Eleven,
's Twelve or 'Thirteen....

I prefer Ossian but I wouldn't use it.
But if you like it then use it.
Depends on your surname
Ocean Smith sounds a bit hmmmm

Nice for a little boy, vile for a 45yr old man.

Think ahead!

I think it's lovely.

I also know a really great teenager with the name so perhaps I'm biased.

I love the sound it makes. It's a beautiful word.

What's wrong with Sandpit or Swamp?

I'd start off with Paddling Pool and leave Ocean until he's a bit older - and after Olympic(swimming pool).

Too big and overwhelming. Pond would be better, I think

Acksherly, I'm starting to quite like the idea of having a 'sensible' reason for using the nickname 'Puddle'.
