Hello, all you lovelies! So, I live in South Texas, right on the coast with 2 beaches. I’ve always loved the beach, and water, for example swimming pools, water parks, etc. My oldest son has been in love with sharks since I can remember. He is 9 now and wants to study marine biology. I find myself now becoming a little shark expert like he is and watching lots of ocean/nature/shark videos daily. I would love to dedicate a baby girl name to the sea. I really love the French Océane, however I am 1000% sure I’d just use the English pronunciation AND the ending sound rhymes with our last name ending sound. 
What are some oceany suggestions y’all may have that I haven’t considered? I had originally selected Océane Melody.
