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.

My nephew is Osian - a Welsh name pronounced Oshan - ( soft o)

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