I had a vivid dream a few years back that i had a daughter called [name]Oceana[/name] with nn [name]Anna[/name] …
Since then this name has been a guilty pleasure of mine but never considered using it. Now that im looking at names again i’m thinking why not? It has my love of O and a ending. plus the connection with the sea and history behind its name.
Does anyone have any thoughts or feelings towards this name negative or positive?
I’m worried to most ppl itll come across as a made up name with unique spelling
If I met a little [name]Oceana[/name], I would think it’s pretty cool. If you’re worried that it sounds too made-up, you may like [name]Oriana[/name] [name]Maris[/name]–it has your O beginning and A ending, and the middle name [name]Maris[/name] refers to the sea, and the nickname [name]Anna[/name] would still be right there.

I think I prefer just Océane. I’d rather use a name closer to the word “ocean.” [name]Oceana[/name] makes me think of the word “oceanic,” which is more scientific, less poetic to my ears.
[name]Oceana[/name] could certainly work though. Such a whispery sound.
I love [name]Oceanus[/name] for a boy - it’s a bit over the top…
I think it’s really nice! I would be delighted to meet a little [name]Oceana[/name]. It would also make a stunning mn.
I would not have picked this name off a list as something I would like, but the more I think about it, the more stunningly beautiful it is. It does not sound made up to me at all. Very historic and sophisticated with a wonderfully mild sound. A pretty perfect name!
Ooo thanks im adding [name]Oriana[/name] to my list such a nice meaning and sound. I might also consider [name]Oceanus[/name] for middle name for boys…altho the anus part is off putting…
I cant think of any reason why [name]Oceana[/name] cant be used other then its not something really heard of as a name- its not tease worthy, but its a familiar sound. [name]Just[/name] need to see if hubby will say yay or nay now!
thanks
