NEITHER
BOTH oceans can be very calm or very rough, and by no means evenly thanks to their sheer area! One of the most commonly calm sea areas is in the tropical Atlantic, and named "the Doldrums" by ancient sea-farers who found their sailing-ships becalmed for days or weeks at a time there.
And- you don't understand why the name "Pacific". It was calm in that region at that time of first sited by European explorers (Vasco de Gama?); so they must have assumed that was its normal state and named it thus.
Both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans have water boundaries with the Arctic Ocean, so it gets pretty cold up there. They also both cross the equator, so it gets warm also. Both Oceans has a myriad of warm currents running through them. As they are both so huge, I guess the correct answer is, it depends where you are.
The Pacific Ocean is generally colder than the Atlantic Ocean. This is because the Pacific Ocean covers a larger area and is influenced by colder ocean currents coming from the polar regions.
