Opinions on the name Ocoee for a boy?

Pronounced (uh-coe-ee) some people say (oh-coe-ee). I know traditional people may not like, but I’m just curious what people think upon first hearing. I’m really big into nature names and there is a river in my hometown that I’ve spent a lot of time around named the Ocoee River.
I’ve seen Ocean/Oceane getting popular, visually they look similar. To me it feels like in the River/ Onyx/ Storm. But what do you guys think?

I personally don't like the name, but it's your baby.

I think you’re going to make your child’s life a lot harder by giving him a name that’s impossible to sight read

I mean it’s kind of spelt like it sounds for the most part, o-coe-e? Even o-co-ee too

Can’t say I’m a fan. While it may share some of the same letters as Ocean, they don’t look similar because Ocean or Oceane is a familiar word in the English language. Ocoee is instantly going to make everyone not familiar with the river inwardly think “how am I even supposed to say that?”

I like that it has personal connection to a body of water in your hometown. Likely people in your area will be familiar with it and won't have issue with pronunciation!

I definitely don’t expect everyone to get it right the first try, it is a Native American derived word so that’s understandable! I feel like it sounds like it looks for the most part!

i love it!!!!

I like it

I actually really like it!

A name of meaning means so much more, if people name children after artists, food and whole countries. why not a river?
Only question is whether you like it. My kids have non traditional bible names and pronunciation is still an issue for most. Be unique.

Sex life (or not)

When did people start having sex again after their c section? This is my second c section and I just feel very weird lol

Should I talk to someone about this?

Yesterday the nurse came to remove my staples and look at baby. She said she has blood under her scalp on one side. Likely from the use of a vacuum. The hospital NEVER told me and I was awake during the c section. I called the nursing line and they confirmed that a vacuum was used.

My mom also said she overheard them say they had to repair something from my last c section but the nursing line says they have no notes.

I'm really upset. They talked about informed consent but they never told me about the vacuum or what to expect after.

The nurse who came to my house told me should could become jaundice as the blood under her scalp absorbs and I will need to wake her for feeds.

Early Scans

How long did people wait for early scan, did a test last week and said 1-2 weeks pregnant, is this too early for a scan?

Is Partner allowed to stay overnight in ward?

Hey mums, I’m thinking of an elective c section in Whittington hospital. Does anyone know if my partner is allowed to stay with me overnight? I don’t have any other family members in London, and I’ve heard the hospital won’t offer a private room for C section. So wondering if they let my partner stay with me over night in a shared room or it’s gonna be a tough night me alone with a lot of pain and a newborn ?!

be honest now… how many of us have been using chatgpt throughout their pregnancy this year?

i know it’s bad but it’s 100% been my off-duty midwife, therapist, experienced friend, admin assistant, tracker, just general go-to for everything. don’t know if i could have made it this far this sane without it.
