Could have been Oisin, irish boys name, sounds similar to ocean in pronunciation.

I thought Oisin was pronounced "Washeen" accent on the "ee"?

My dgs lives in North Wales and has a friend named Osean, pronounced O-Sean.

Some of these have really made me laugh.

I love 'Feather', though. Didn't Helen George call her daughter's Wren and Lark..

I have started a boys name thread as well .....

Gonorrhea and Syphillis are very elegant and will carry them through well into old age.

I quite like Wren and Lark as girl's names.

My childhood doll was called Polio which I thought was a pretty name.

I like Vylene for retro charm and would actually use Tillia (Lime tree).

@Phrowzunn

I’ve always thought the word ‘Delicatessan’ was really pretty. Nicknames could be Del, Cat or Tessa.
It actually is pretty 😂🙊
