Oscar or Toby

Ds due any day. We cannot agree on a name!

DH really likes Oscar or Toby but I’m just not 100%. I like Ben or Patrick but he’s definitely against both.

Any thoughts (good or bad) on Oscar or Toby? Middle name would be Oscar Patrick and Toby Harris.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I have a Toby. Oscar was also on my list.

See, I don't like Toby because I am old (mid 50s) where Toby's brother was Silas; farm boys.

Their cousin was Barnaby.

@whizzpopbangalang - true! Maybe il try switching it to Patrick Oscar using the same argument!

Thanks all. @Clevs - maybe a silly question but did you get much feedback/compliments/negative comments along the way?

I personally much prefer Toby but nothing wrong with Oscar (or Ben or Patrick!)

Clevs · 28/07/2019 21:35

I have a Toby 😊

Oscar is quite popular, Toby less popular but not uncommon.
