How would you pronounce Oceane?
Oceane. I would tend to say it O-she-Ann. Btn says it is pronounced o-say-ahn.

I pronounce it the French way, o-say-ahn but without the -ay sound (French é shouldn't be pronounced like -ay) so more like o-seh-ahn (é like the e in Eric).

Personally I'd go with O-sheen. But it's not a name that I've ever had to pronounce IRL so I'm probably very far off....

That's because BTN correctly identifies it as a French name.And if people use French names, surely the least they can do is take them over, pronunciation and all!

I pronounce it o-say-ahn, because it's french.

I pronounce it more like OH-see-ann, but it's got more of an "ah" sound than just Ann. Hard to explain!

The BTN pronunciation and emphasis are definitely correct. I'd pronounce it that way, but then again I speak French so it was never really a question for me.If you wanted to emphasize an "ann" sound at the end, maybe a slight variation of the original could make that clearer? Oceanne, maybe? Either way, pretty name.

The second, BTN pronunciation is definitely the correct one and how I would say it.
