How would you pronounce this name?
I am on the fence between oh-Cee-on-ah and oh-she-on-ah
What do you think?

I pronounce it oh-shee-AH-na (basically like oh-she-on-ah if you're pronouncing the "she" part like the word "she").

yes, I think you just articulated it better.

Intuitively, I pronounce it oh-she-AH-nuh and I like it. The only drawback I see is if she developed a weight problem and got teased because, hey, oceans are rather big things. The word 'titanic' comes to mind. ;-)

I suppose that is true, I never thought of that...

I'd say oh-shee-AH-nah

I say a cross between o-shee-AH-na and o-see-AH-na.

and how does that sound?

I'm guessing Oh-she-AH-nah, maybe Oh-SHA-nah.

O-she-ah-nah

Having never heard anyone say it before, I'd guess it was, "o-she-AH-nuh." I'm from the West Coast of the U.S., if that makes any difference.
Now, if you had asked about Oceane, I'd know it was "o-say-AHN."
I like them both because they make me think the parents care about the environment.

I wouldn't have thought that... It makes sense though. I remember reading some story (fiction or non fiction I don't know) where the child was born at sea during colonial times and they named her Oceana.
That's what it makes me think of...
