Does Ocean feel more masculine or feminine to you? A male student chose it as his English name. Ocean is a masculine word in some languages, but I tend to see it as feminine in English."We have met the enemy and he is us" Walt Kelly

Unisex but I slightly prefer it for a girl while I slightly prefer unisex River for a boy.

Unisex/masculine. I'm pretty sure I've seen it more than once as a surname and only once as a given name (Ocean Vuong).

I'd expect a male if I encountered it. I prefer it on a male as well.

I think it does seem slightly more masculine than feminine. Though it works for either.

Hi Fiammetta !!!Ocean seems masculine to me while Océane is feminine. But I think that it is unisex anyway.

Unisex, but more feminine, I'd say.

Ocean in English sounds a little more masculine to me. Oceane in French sounds feminine.
