Help[Opinions] Re: Ocean
in reply to a message by foxgloves
I love Ocean for a boy or a girl, I only slightly prefer it for a girl. It is a very unisex name and I would consider using it except that my husband has an aunt named Ocean.
Lots of middle names go well with it just don't use another nature name in the middle, choosing a good mn for it will depend on the surname.
Funny story but my husband's aunt Ocean was born to hippie parents and her full fn is Ocean Baby and she has three middle names including a double word mn. Her full name is Ocean Baby Cherry Blossom Marisa Elizabeth V. She hated the Baby part of her name sooo much hence why she only ever goes by Ocean or Ocie. Also Cherry Blossom is too much but at least it is better then adding Baby onto Ocean. A much better combo would have been Ocean Marisa Elizabeth. So basically just don't do something crazy for your son like my aunt-in-laws name and you are good.

Favorite Names:
Vivian, Fiona, Sabrina, Aurora, Hazel, Josephine, Delphina, Dorothea, Althea, Artemis, Citrina, Frida, Maeve, Luna, Iris, April, Marguerite, Cascadia
Ciaran, Rowan, Brendan, Malcolm, Felix, Robin, Julian, Tristan, Magnus, Arthur, Adrian, Cedar, Cedric, Xavier, Connor, Silas, Gavin

Baby isn't a mn it is a double fn, bit confusing with so much in there. Yeah Ocean Marisa Elizabeth is a bit repetitive but it sounds nice and is much better than Ocean Baby Cherry Blossom Marisa Elizabeth. Ocean Elizabeth is kind of nice but Elizabeth is a bit fillerish.
Ocean Baby "Ocie or Ocean" was born to Ed and his first wife, when Ed remarried to Dorothy she already had three children from her first marriage - boys named Christopher "Chris", John, and Nicholas "Nick" all without middle names - Dorothy had one daughter with Ed named Catherine Opal nn Katie which is a double fn like her sister Ocean Baby. Catherine Opal unlike her sister only has one mn rather than 3 but I don't know what it is.
Ed and Dorothy were way less crazy about naming Katie than Ed was with his first wife when they named Ocie. Dorothy's first husband David was definitely not a hippie type at all, he was a very serious English born man who was a research scientist. Dorothy was also born in England but they immigrated to the US when David became a post-doc at Harvard. They later moved to Vancouver when David became a professor at the University of British Columbia. David was too dedicated to his work and Dorothy finally divorced him. Their son's names are super bland/ normal and they didn't even get mn's, together with their step sister and half sister it's such an odd sibset.
