Baby names

Oscar?

Not sure where this one has come from but it suddenly occured to me the other night. DH doesn't like it so probably wouldn't get my way and I do worry it sounds like a dog's name.

any thoughts?

oh you're right Sandy4, i'd forgotten that baby on eastenders was called Oscar. Mind you it's ever such a good baby - you never hear a peep out of it

I have an Oscar and truly love it, don't watch EastEnders! Quite original but not too outlandish in my opinion

yes notasheep, i have worried about it being a dog's name. However, DH won't let me have Toby as he thinks it's a cats name - sigh!

I know a totally scrummy Oscar, we call him Osky..... he is the most wonderful little boy you could hope to meet.

I love it, love it, love it.

Twatty dp wouldn't let me have it for ds though. I forget his reasoning but stupidly I listened to him (well, not stupidly, ds's name is lovely... it's just not Oscar)

I have a dog called Oscar, but still love the name though.
Love Toby as well - was on my list of names, but wasn't liked by anyone else!
