Its a feminization of Oceanus and as such is likely pronounced O-shee-anna.

O-she-AHN-a is how I usually read it. Also O-she-AN-a. Maybe even O-SHIN-a, sometimes.How do you pronounce it?

I read it as oh-SHAN-ah or oh-see-AH-ah. The ambiguous-ness of the pronunciation is why it's not higher on my list.
