Oswin, from Old English, meaning 'God's Friend'.

Do you think its usable? Oswin nn Ozzy, for a boy? Honest opinions welcome!

It's a cool name. There was a very notable Anglo-Saxon king called Oswin, by all accounts he was a bit of a dude!

Love it. There is a St Oswin's church.

I work with an Oswin! I like it, it gives me medieval vibes, same as Edgar, Alfred, etc.

I like it, but I'm a historical fiction fanatic, so maybe my opinion doesn't count 😅

Makes me think of Oswyn Murray but that's a very niche reference.

So, I think it’s very cool. The kind of name a kid who liked metal would have. When looking at it on paper though, would people call him swine? I’m just trying to be honest, I do love the name. Kids can be cruel though.
