poliphiloAs I write Petra Kitova is playing a Frenchwoman called Oceane Dodin.
What a beautiful name, that is: Oceane.
I love it how names taken from Nature are beginning to chase out the weary old Christian saints. New names for a new age. Adieu Marie-Claude, bonjour Oceane...
If I were still in the business of naming babies I'd be going that route.
In related news I see that Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara have called their son River- which is brilliant in this way, but also in that.
