I know Ocean is typically used for girls and the name itself isn’t a lot of people’s taste, but I can’t help but absolutely love the name Ocean on a boy. It’s kind of like a guilty pleasure. I can definitely see myself naming a male character Ocean, and if I ever have a son I don’t think I’d make that his first name just because it’s so commonly thought of as a girl’s name, but I could definitely make it a middle.
What do you guys think? I know this is probably a pretty unpopular opinion.
I see it more for a boy than a girl. I’ve never met an [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] of any gender.
[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: I was surprised it was supposed to be a girl’s name so I checked and all the internet seems to agree that it’s gender-neutral.
That’s good to know!
Leans masculine for me!
i think of it as a (GREAT) boys’ names because of ocean vuong the poet
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f]! I have it on my girls list, but I like it just as much on a boy! 
I’m also surprised to hear it’s considered a girls’ name! Would have thought it was nonbinary or male-leaning, if anything.
I also think of the poet [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Vuong[/name_m], a very positive association!
Really cool for a boy! It feels pretty gender neutral because it’s a nature name. I think in the US it’s actually more popular for boys than for girls (711 vs 877 in 2021)!
Wow! I guess it wasn’t as unpopular of an opinion as I thought. It’s nice to know that other people think it’s a more masculine-leaning name. [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] [name_m]Vuong[/name_m] is definitely a good association.
I definitely don’t view it as a girl’s name. I’ve never met an [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] in real life, but of those I’ve seen online I think it’s about an even mix of boys and girls with the name. First one that comes to mind is [name_m]Carlos[/name_m] Pena and [name_f]Alexa[/name_f] Vega’s son.
I think of it as perfectly unisex! In Puerto [name_m]Rico[/name_m] it’s in the top 100 for boys
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] for any gender 
beautiful name
Completely neutral imho, I love O-names for boys so I say go for it!
I looooove any feminine names on boys, so I love [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] for a boy! If you love [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] for a boy I’d say use it! And I agree with others above, even though it seems more popular for girls I also think it’s neutral
To me ocean is perfectly gender neutral
One of my top names for a girl but I would be over the moon to meet a little boy names ocean
I also see it as perfectly neutral! i’ve met two girls named [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] but I absolutely love it on a boy as well :))
I like it for a book character
