After DH went stone cold on my favourite name Hugo, Oscar has now come back into the limelight. Your thoughts, good and bad would be welcomed.

I love Oscar - it's my top name at the mo (35 weeks!)

We have an Oscar. He is an absolute star!

Love Oscar. I know a cute one but I'd imagine all Oscars are lovely anyway. Great name.

Yes - we know of an Oscar in reception year in the local school, another that comes to toddler group from a different village - then I have a cousin that has a 3 yr old Oscar - but we still think it's a great name and are struggling with alternatives.

I have an Oscar. I'm pregnant again and if it's a boy I don't think we'd find a name we love as much.
Is quite popular but still a great name.

I like both - have cousins called Oscar and Hugo too!

I like Oscar and I like Hugo Smile

Sorry not much help!

Oscar, much nicer than Hugo.
Being brought up in Wales Hugo just sounds a really pretentious version of Hugh.

I love it.

It's quite popular here though, don't know if that bothers you.

Much, much nicer than Hugo imo.
