So what do you think of Oscar? Which spelling Oscar or Oskar?

How about it Oscar Elliot Anchorsholme? Anchorsholme is the surname!

Oscar Elliot is a FAB name - go for it!

I love it, and want it if DC3 is a boy - hubby not too keen.

Stick witht the Oscar spelling - he will end up having to spell his surname a lot, doesn't need to correct spellings of his first name too.

I really like the name and would spell it Oscar. My friend has an Oscar and he is know as Oz.
Go for it as goes well with Elliot too

I agree with OiMum - it is not the slightest bit geeky. All the Oscars I have known have been strong characters and rather cool. My DD (aged 16 months) is a bit in love with a little boy called Oscar at the moment (she feeds him and they cuddle each other - so cute).

Is Oscar/Oskar in his new bugaboo?

LynetteScavo · 07/08/2008 11:40

Do not call your child Oscar!!! DS had it first! DDs' name is now in the to 10 girls names-

LuLuBai · 07/08/2008 11:39

Oscar is a brilliant name. I like Elliot a lot too.

OiMum · 07/08/2008 11:37

Geeky!! My son is called Oscar and it suits him perfectly. It'll suit him right from being a shrivelled up little old man newborn right through to true shrivelled up little old man years. It's a good, strong name with just the right hint of cheekiness to it. Go for it!

Moomin · 07/08/2008 11:26

I like Oscar. Dd2's little best friend is called this and really suits him. I might choose a different (shorter) middle name myself, but there again, you won't be calling his full name out much will you?

hayley2u · 07/08/2008 11:25

no sorry dont like it, very geeky,sorry xx
