[Facts] Coean
Any idea as to Coean (m) - or is it just made up?

I'd be amazed if it is a typo for Ocean - if you can type, you'd be using different hands for O and c, and if you can't, then presumably you're watching what you're doing.My guess is that it's a jazz variation on the ln Cohen - it's very fashionable to use surnames as given names, but if there's one surname I wouldn't mess with, it's Cohen! Sounds good, but if you're not Jewish AND a Cohen the likelihood of treading on toes is too great.I doubt if it's made up. Possibly someone heard Cohen, has never seen it, and used a 'phonetic' spelling?

There are many types of typos, and not all of them involve hitting the key next to the one you were intending.If you were typing quickly and hit some of the keys for o-c-e-a-n in the wrong order, you could easily get c-o-e-a-n instead. That's how typos such as 'teh' for 'the' and 'thier' for 'their' happen, after all.

Some non-Jewish possibilities would include anagrams of "Canoe" of "O! Acne!"

My first thought was that perhaps it's a typo of Ocean?

If it's a typo it could also be one for Coen (variant of Koen), or maybe it's a creative Cohen?
If it's a boys name. For a girl a typo of Ocean seems the most liekly one.

That's what I initially thought as well. Maybe. :)
