Both are nice BUT so so very popular and your son will definitely have the same name as others in his class, dooming him to being Oscar X or Freddie Y and maybe end up feeling a bit rubbish? I know three Freddie's in one class and two ozzies!

Oscar.

Only Freddie if you are putting Frederick on the birth certificate.

Oscar. Sounds like a grown up's name. Freddie sounds... not so grown up (don't want to be rude to any Freddies/parents of Freddies out there).

I really like Freddie. It would probably been DS's name but a colleague used it not long before.

Freddie is too cutesy. I prefer Oscar.

And I know you can shorten to Fred. I once knew a bloke at uni (and he was a bloke, tall and burly) called Bob. Later discovered his given name was Bobbie, which REALLY didn't suit him. Especially with the "ie" instead of a "y", which is more twee somehow.

Oscar.

Freddie reminds me of Kruger. Or a frog.

I really don't like Oscar. It just doesn't seem like a boys name to me and is really harsh sounding.

Love Freddie.
