Personally I cannot stand this name but I know it's a little irrational. About the French thing, in
France it's considered "beauf" which is basically the same as redneck or trashy. I have a friend who describes it as "beau beauf" meaning a tacky name that some people consider to be refined and unfortunately I agree.
Ocean is masculine and océane is feminine for me.
Sorry if this comes off as rude maybe it would be fresh and interesting in the states or other places?
