Mohid

Not to be confused with Tove Jansson's fictional Moomins, Mumin is a spiritual Arabic name, deriving from amuna, meaning "to be faithful". The term appears in the Quran to describe someone who is fully obedient to God's will and has their faith solidly established. Also spelled as Momin and Moumin, it is notably used in Indonesia, Somalia, and Bangladesh, and has been borne by Olympic runner, Mumin Gala.

Oneal is a masculine name derived from the Irish surname Ó Néill, meaning 'descendant of Niall.' The original Gaelic name Niall possibly means 'champion' or 'cloud.' As a first name, Oneal gained modest usage in the United States during the 20th century, often as a variant spelling of O'Neal. The name carries strong Irish cultural associations, connecting to one of Ireland's most powerful ancient families who claim descent from Niall of the Nine Hostages, a legendary High King of Ireland. While never reaching widespread popularity, Oneal appeals to parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and historical significance. Its straightforward pronunciation and spelling make it accessible despite its relative uncommonness.

Pronounced just like "Ocean", Oshen is an alternative spelling for sea-inspired word name. Possibly drawing inspiration from Osheen, the anglicized spelling of the Irish Oisin, this spelling of Ocean might be considered more visually name-y than the original. 
 
Beyond the word, Oshen might also have links to the Hebrew name, Osher, meaning "happiness", to the Yoruba name, Oshun, meaning "flow", or to the Romani Oshanna, meaning "Hosannah".
 Musician Oshen City is a bearer of the name and "Oshenknits" is the social media handle of marine biologist and popular knitwear designer, Vanessa Fleming. 
 With spelling variations of word names on the rise, there is a possibility that Oshen could join Chozen or Journee in the charts in future years. For now, however, while Oshen was chosen for just nine boys in a recent year, Ocean was given more than twenty times that and ranks in the US Top 1000 for boys and girls.

This Manx form of the popular Irish name Oisín is perhaps a more intuitive spelling outside of Ireland.
