A name I heard yesterday....

Ocean

It was a boy and he was about 13 years old.

WDYT?

That's a stupid name.

Thirded.

I never really thought about it, but I think that Ocean is a body-of-water name that just doesn't work.

Not a fan. If someone forced me to use it, I would put it on a girl.

Could be worse. I'd rather see a noun name than a random trendy Jayden Kaylie Raelee type of thing any day. That's all flower and occupation names are, anyway — specific types of nouns. Violet? Sawyer? Yup. Nouns. Just some are more frequently used as names than others.

Hmm nothing I'd use, but yeah it's got a certain ring to it.

I like Oceana for a girl. /oh/say (or see)/ah/nah/

That actually sounds pretty, but I don't like the way it looks.

total guilty pleasure name, i'll admit. i absolutely love it. probably more so for a girl though.

That is one word that doesn't work as a name.
