I have heard a few different pronunciations of these so I’m wondering how YOU personally pronounce [name_f]Oceane[/name_f], [name_f]Oceana[/name_f], and [name_f]Oceania[/name_f]?
Also, what are your overall impressions of them?
We are considering one of these for a sister to Éva [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] & [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m], so we truly value your input. [name_f]TIA[/name_f]!
It’s a beautiful name and my preference is [name_f]Oceane[/name_f]. I pronounce it oh-say-ENN.
I love it pronounced OH-SEE-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]. I think it sounds delicate and lacy. But also beautiful and strong. I think it is the french way to pronounce it. I love the name:) Also, I think Éva, [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] and [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] sounds beautiful. Also with [name_f]Oceana[/name_f]. Not so much [name_f]Oceania[/name_f]. And I think [name_f]Oceana[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] sounds beautiful! And [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. And also [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Oceane[/name_f] and [name_f]Oceana[/name_f] the best. I would pronounce them like Oh-see-EHN and Oh-see-[name_f]ANA[/name_f].
[name_f]Oceana[/name_f] is my favorite out of the three.
For me personally:
[name_f]Oceane[/name_f]: Oh-say-ahn or oh-she-ann - it sounds a little awkward as a first name to me, I think this variation works best as a middle name.
[name_f]Oceana[/name_f]: oh-she-ann-uh - my favorite of the three, I think the rhythm is appealing and nickname Oshi would be cute. I would love to see this in real life.
[name_f]Oceania[/name_f]: oh-she-ann-ee-uh - it seems too drawn out in my opinion, and it comes across as purely geographical to me, being a region in the pacific rim
