Ocean or Oceans?

[burgatroyd]

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 know a Osha lol

Don't like the ox in oxana!

Makes me think of a cruise liner too. How about Oriel? Or Osiris (Egyptian god - but could probably be used as a girls name).

I think Oxsana is pronounced Oshana.

Oxana, I mean

Sorry I don't like word names... oceana is slightly better!

No. Sounds like a French supermarket or a cruise line.

I know an Oceian. Pron very much like Ocean, but with a but of emphasis on on the I. Oh-she-an.

Odessa (I love the sound of this - I know one little one and I think it's gorgeous!).

Odessa is great!

I love Ocean, Oceana makes me think of horrible nightclubs though.

Just checked meaning and first website said odessa means wrathful!

Roisin would be ace - pronounced Rosheen. Same sort of sound.

I don't like either, what about the French version, Océane? Very popular a little while ago.

Oceana is a shit sleazy nightclub in Birmingham.

Or a P&O cruise liner

Please - just don't

Or Saoirse pn seer-sha.

I also think Roisin is fab too though

Odessa is a port in Ukraine. Do you think there's a Ukrainian MNetter posting about what a beautiful name Grimsby would be?

Neither sorry, both sound like a some sort of holiday complex.

Roisin could be a grower... Cheyenne has similar sound but makes me think of pepper

Someone suggested Osiris! What god of the dead? Chopped up by his brother, who would think that's a nice name for a little girl.

Sedna, goddess of the sea?

Odessa is also where quite a few people are getting shot at the moment. I'd steer clear if I were you.

Didn't Sedna get her fingers chopped off? I'd give up on the gods and goddesses.

Oriel?
