We had Oscar on our list back in 2008 for DD1 who is now 5. It wasn't crazy popular back then but since having her (and entering the world of playgroups/ nurseries etc) I've come across a fair number of little Oscars. i can't decide whether or not the sudden surge in popularity is going to make it a faddy name (even though it's pretty classic) or if, in fact, it's already fading a bit.
DH informs me that there's some a new hotshot Brazilian footballer called Oscar (really not on my radar) and with the world cup etc that it is going to make the name even more popular. Will an Oscar feel like a child of the late noughties/ early 20 teenies (no idea what this decade is called!) or is it a name that will stand the test of time?
