... came across this name in a children's magazine. It is an actual child's name.

Whilst I would prefer to remain objective, open-minded and, well, cool with what others choose for their kids' names, I was left thinking 'WTF?!?!' with this one.

Ocean could be a name that works well on a child, be it a boy or girl; Melody would work on a girl, too. But as a combination? Hmmm ...

Awful.
I hate hyphenated names anyway.

I don't like the hyphenated bit. the two together are too much of a clunky mouthful. I was horrified the first time I heard Ocean as a girl's name, but I'm getting used to it now. I can't say I like it though. Melody is quite pretty but I would never use it myself.

Pleeeaaase don't tell me I'm the only one who thinks it's slightly ridiculous ...
