Which name do you prefer for baby girl or are they too out there? Met baby Ocean and loved the name even though had dismissed it previously when I read it in name book so perhaps works better when said out loud. Thoughts welcome.

I liked it when I was a teenager and East 17's Tony Mortimer named his daughter Ocean. Enough said I think.

Not too sure about Ophelia, too tragic. However sound of Ophelia is beautiful. I like the sound of the word, oooo-shun, if that makes sense. Anything like Ophelia or Ocean?

Reminds me of the chain of nightclubs called Oceana.

What about Ophelia?

Oceana sounds like a Swimming pool complex, don't do it op..

I know a teenage ocean and sorry I think it's silly.

Erm.. neither of them make me think of a baby girl. A cruise ship, yes, but not a baby. [sorry]
