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

Apart from Hugo, they’re all daft and try-hard.

Can you imagine having to introduce yourself as Ocean?

It's a model of campervan...

I think it’s nice but there’s a few Instagram influencers who have used it recently which would stop me from choosing it

I know an Ocean.

Sister of a little boy named Navy.

Awful. On both counts.

Hugo is great. I suppose you could have Ocean as a middle name? Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean etc.. Poor little mite.

I know a Storm. I'm not keen on the name myself, but actually prefer it very slightly over Ocean.

Is is the way it sounds or the meaning you like? What about looking up the word Ocean/Sea/Storm/water in other languages?

I heard a little Ocean being called by his mum in the playground. If I'm honest, I did do a double-take but then I find a lot of names nowadays a bit odd.

It's ok and appears to be becoming more popular but I'm not sure he'd thank you for it when he's older. But maybe today's Keiths, Neils and Carls feel the same, and those were all very 'solid' names of their time.

I knew one in his 30s. Loved his name. Pronounces it Oh-see-an.
I love nature names but don't particularly like this one myself though I'd rather that than another Jack or Harry.

Please don't call him Ocean imagine him as an adult trying to introduce himself for work...just no.... If you like the meaning how about Kai or Morgan, even Sailor or Fisher would be better if it's the sound you like definitely go something like Oisin, Orson, Oscar etc

I don't like it. I love Hendrix and Hugo (although my friend has a cat called Hugo)
