Great, go with that. Fwiw I don’t think Riley goes with Oscar if that matters. Oscar is quite traditional but Riley is a name that will date quickly.

But if you like it then that’s what matters.

Oscar is lovely. Hope everything goes smoothly with the birth!

Oscar!!

Also much prefer Oscar

Oscar
The other two are really awful sorry

MustardScreams · 23/09/2019 08:53

Oscar definitely. Tyler and Riley will date badly.

DramaAlpaca · 23/09/2019 08:52

Oscar is the best of the three.

Oscar
I'm sorry but I find the other two a bit 'common'.
I also like Owen which, to me anyway, is similar.

NoSauce · 23/09/2019 08:48

Oscar, the other two are terrible.

Astronica · 23/09/2019 08:46

Oscar is a great name and sounds good with your surname. The others don't come close.

Joeybee · 23/09/2019 08:22

Autocorrect changed Oscar to Oliver, how annoying. Oscar is my fave on your list, and its popularity would bother me a little, but this might not bother you and if it doesn't, then totally go for this name. I think it is strong but sweet and works on any aged child or adult.

MrsMozartMkII · 23/09/2019 08:21

Oscar. Riley as the middle name.

Joeybee · 23/09/2019 08:20

All go okay with your surname. Oliver is my fave on your list. It is a super popular name though, would that put you off? Riley is think is an awesome name that isn't used enough, although I think it's becoming more and more popular for girls than boys.

Babyfg · 23/09/2019 08:20

Oscar- it's more timeless and a stronger name

Oscar McLaughlin

Good luck!
