I had been sold on [name_m]Oz[/name_m] but we’ve called him our little fishy for months now and I fell head over heels for the name [name_u]Ocean[/name_u].
Which do you prefer and middle name suggestions for [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] would be great too!
I love [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]! But [name_m]Oz[/name_m] is magical and so unique at the same time! Would you consider [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Oz[/name_m]? [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] would be nice.
Ocean creates much better imagery. I would go traditional with the middle.
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] would be so cute! I love that you’ve been calling him Fishy!
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_u]Wallace[/name_u]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]David[/name_m]
I like [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] better because [name_m]Oz[/name_m] a) [name_m]Wizard[/name_m] of [name_m]Oz[/name_m] is what comes to mind and b) It would be hard to grow into. I like to think of the “Airplane Test” where I say in my head, “This is your captain, ______” One thing with that is to imagine that, you could use initials (but then don’t give him a J middle) You could definitely do [name_m]Oz[/name_m] as a nickname. As for middles, I thought of [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_u]Theo[/name_u]/Theodore, [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Louis[/name_m], something classic like that. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helped!
Oh interesting. I totally thought [name_m]Oz[/name_m] was much more “mainstream” than [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]. I personally see nothing wrong with “This is your captain, [name_m]Oz[/name_m]” but I appreciate your perspective.
I don’t find anything wrong with it at all, I just wouldn’t expect it! I’m sorry if it sounded like that. And I guess the reason I consider [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] more mainstream is because of [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], but few people would make that connection.
I’m not feeling [name_m]Oz[/name_m] unfortunately, but [name_m]Oz[/name_m] as a nickname for [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] would work great! I’d be tempted to go with something a little more traditional in the middle. Maybe;
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Alastair[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
Honestly, I think that an [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] could be [name_m]Oz[/name_m] for short regardless of whether the middle name started with Z (although that’s a fun idea!)
It does sound like you’re really loving [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], and the Fishy connection is adorable!
Ocean [name_m]Isidore[/name_m] sprang to mind immediately — and it’s also got that Z sound to make [name_m]Oz[/name_m] even more of a natural nickname.
[name_f]My[/name_f] parents have a friend named [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] who’s now in his 50s - so weird to see it getting a bit more attention lately! I like both names, but I think I prefer [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]…mmmaybe [name_m]Oz[/name_m]. I’m no help, sorry They’re both great options!
I agree that [name_m]Oz[/name_m] could absolutely be a nickname for [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]! I also love @katinka ‘s suggestion of [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Isidore[/name_m].
I LOVE LOVE LOVE pp suggestion of using a Z middle name and having the option to call him [name_m]Oz[/name_m]. [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Zander[/name_m], [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Zac[/name_m], or [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] Zylas (similar to [name_m]Silas[/name_m]) would be my pick.
