babynameswhen i revealed to my dad that we'd be naming our son ocean he had this to say:
"please. no. a boy named ocean in los angeles? he's going to be SUCH a c**ksucker."
my reply?
(laughing hysterically from shock) "i know, isnt it great?"
my dad makes me laugh and laugh. i know the name ocean will impart a sense of originality as well as mystique in a person. he'll be set apart (teased, im sure will be part of that...but who isnt) as well as objectified by the reference of his name...and my whole life i have been drawn to the sea, its in my blood and the name, to me, is a symbol of something that resonates in my heart...
but hearing my dad's reaction really got me giggling. leave it to pops to really put it out there.

Date: 2007-06-05 09:59 am (UTC)Not that you asked for opinions but I guess I'd be afraid to use a name like that just in case i happened to have a child who wasn't very confident and hated standing out. Like you never know who you're going to get....some kids could pull it off awesomely but others would hate it for the rest of their life, so I'd be more likely to use a name like that as a middle name instead.
But it's not a bad name or anything.
