By the way, definitely not Elliott.

Thanks Smile

Elliot. But I'm biased (and mine is 14) . There seems to be loads of Oscars. I do like Oscar the Grouch , though. Grin.

And it should definitely be 1 't' Grin.

Oscar. Just because I've always liked that name and went to school with an Elliot that I didn't think much of. History bias. Both are nice names though.

Mrsknackered · 25/09/2017 22:48

Oscar, Oscar, Oscar.

I find Elliot a bit wet and bland.
I never get sick of Oscar!

Oscar because ehen in my teens I babysat for a total little shit called Elliott. Still have nightmares!

Oh yeah oops!

MammieBear · 24/09/2017 18:07

Elliot - but then I like ET.

TurquoiseChevrotain · 24/09/2017 17:41

@allthegoodusernameshavegone I knew there would be 1, OP even put! Grin

daisypond · 24/09/2017 17:33

Elliot. I know a few Elliots and Oscars - they're all in their late teens/early 20s. I'm surprised they're still popular names. Both nice, though.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 24/09/2017 17:25

A million % Elliott, its gorgeous. There are soooooo many Oscars and they're all called oz

tigerlil6571 · 24/09/2017 17:23

Elliot

bridgetreilly · 24/09/2017 17:18

Oscar.

I do also like Elliot, though.

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 24/09/2017 16:26

Oscar

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/09/2017 13:35

Elliot

ladybirdsaredotty · 24/09/2017 11:27

Oscar is on our list for this baby but I'm worried about popularity. Elliot(t 😉) would be too but it's too close to DD2's name. I probably like it best of the two, though ☺

Normandy144 · 24/09/2017 07:33

Much prefer Elliot. Oscar feels like a name that will date easily to me.

howthelightgetsin · 24/09/2017 07:31

I have an irrational hatred of the name Elliot.

Oscar.

Montsti · 24/09/2017 07:09

I like both but Elliot sounds a little wet (sorry) so I would go with Oscar...

LostwithSawyer · 23/09/2017 22:19

Elliot is much nicer

elQuintoConyo · 23/09/2017 20:03

Oscar.

Smelliot would have few friends... Grin

TurquoiseChevrotain · 23/09/2017 20:02

That's says it all. You're missing the point. It's a completely irrelevant reply.

geneveve · 23/09/2017 19:56

Then Joseph. I prefer thatSmile

TurquoiseChevrotain · 23/09/2017 19:51

But they really didn't, did they? They asked which one of the 2. It's like replying Joseph...

geneveve · 23/09/2017 19:47

Just my opinion. Op asked.

geneveve · 23/09/2017 19:47

Just my opinion

TurquoiseChevrotain · 23/09/2017 19:42

Elliot

@geneveve what's the point?
