Ocean

[beans1992]

For a boy. Is this an out there choice? Do you know any baby Oceans?

Other ideas:

Atlas, Ashton, Oakley, Hugo, Hendrix

Posted previously about Hugo but I’m not sure on it.

No, very dated. Perceived to be a bit jaded and rough in France.

Hugo is a much better choice.

Please don't use this word as a name for the most precious being you will have in your life.

It's not a name, it's a word for a geographical feature, a large body of water.

Cross post

Hugo is much better

Good middle name

I'd find introducing myself as 'Ocean' very embarrassing.
I'd go so far as to say it would negatively affect my mental health.

Hugo or Ashton are both quite nice.

It’s not out there when it refers to the sea.

But as a name it really is stupid.

Hugo is great, you can’t go wrong.

I personally like Atlas, not everyone will, but if you want something big and unusual it might be it. Atticus might be better mind you.

Hendrix is just a bit daddy is a muso and thinks his kid is an extension of his hobby

Ashton is v undistinguished, like Kayden or Kyle or something. I wouldn’t.

I love the french version, Océane, but that's a girl's name so not sure about Ocean for a boy. How about River?

Oisin is sort of similar sounding..

I knew an ocean. He pronounced it oh shawn

I love it but I love the sea. I met a prize winning surfer called Ocean, he was lovely

I’m not keen on any of your choices but Hugo is my fave of the bunch.

If you like it and are willing to put up with people commenting on how they don't like it, go for it. If you really like it, who cares if other people don't. No matter what name you pick there will be someone who doesn't like it!

It's not a name, it's a word for a geographical feature

I’ve always felt like that about Savannah too.

Im not keen on Ocean; Oisin is better

I think it's a bit naff, tbh. Also hate Hugo which seems a bit prim and stuffy.

Ashton and Oakley are OK. Unusual enough that there won't be millions running around the playground but also unlikely to raise too many eyebrows.

No, but I know an adult female Ocean.

Hugo is the only actual name from your list imho

I've only known females called Ocean when I was a child. I know a fair few babies called river lately boys and girls though

Ocean is awful and so are all the others, sorry.

One of the women on Vanderpump Rules TV show recently called her daughter Ocean.

I've only known one Ocean, he was Italian and a right wanker. Incredibly posh, but saw himself as very humble. He'd be in his fifties now.

I met a male O’cean recently believe it or not!
I think I like Hugo best from your list.

I'd go back to the drawing board.

I find comments like this ridiculous. You can say things like that about all sorts of names.

Awful
