Hi all,

I put a post on the other day that we had narrowed names down to 2 for our first little one due in oct (boy).

We both work in schools so want a unique name we wont come across lots in years to come. We now have 5 on the list again, i know they wont be everyones cup of tea as not traditional and some bit wild but be good to hear thoughts :)

Oscar
Ezra
Ozzie
Hugo
Buddy

Thanks! Confused be nice.... haha

Oscar, Ezra or Hugo. Definitely not Ozzie or Buddy, which sound like pets names.

Oscar is lovely, as is Ezra.

Greeneyedgeek83 · 25/08/2018 00:01

Ezra is by far the best. Not keen on any of the others

EmmaC78 · 24/08/2018 23:58

Hugo and Oscar are fine. I dislike the other three.

DiegoMadonna · 24/08/2018 23:51

I love Ezra.
I quite like Oscar.
Hugo is blah
I hate Ozzie and Buddy.

Oscar - not keen but don't hate it
Ezra - I quite like it but i would think
'Those parents were trying too hard to be different!
Ozzie - I dint like it
Hugo - love
Buddy - really detest this

SuperstarDJ · 24/08/2018 23:48

Ozzie and Buddy are nicknames plus I think Buddy would be a bit ridiculous on anyone past the age of 10. Ezra & Hugo are good.

Oscar is dull as it’s very popular.

Goostacean · 24/08/2018 23:46

Haha, consensus of two on Hugo and Ezra, it seems!

Goostacean · 24/08/2018 23:45

Strikethrough fail...

Goostacean · 24/08/2018 23:45

Oscar - bit mundane for my tastes, although I know a lovely one! He’s 28.
Ezra - this is SO COOL. Seriously. Love it!
Ozzie - sounds like a nn. And I think Ozzy Osbourne... Mm, it’s a no from me.
Hugo - again, love it!
Buddy - very American. Are you American? It’ll sound a bit odd in the U.K., in my view.

None are terrible! :) —please choose Ezra!—

MrsMolehillMountain · 24/08/2018 23:44

Oscar- seems quite common atm. I don't like it but everyone else seems to!
Ezra- again, I hear this a lot. It's nice but written down, I always think it looks like a girls' name
Ozzie- Osborne
Hugo- please pick Hugo!!
Buddy- no.
