Cant see how anyone would pronounce it waa-sheen where is the W? It starts with O!!! Its defo Osh-an in Wales

We have an Osian and its pronounced osh-an. Were Welsh, and I love his name and the fact that its unusual. Though not that unusual around here - I know another two Osians (grown up ones!) and I do think its one of those names thats coming back into fashion.
Love it - really suits him. We now have another boy on the way and thinking of Ifan for him

When I seen it, I thought it was like the Irish Oisín (pronounced Ush-een), which I absolutely love.

Waa-sheen I really dont like though, sorry. reminds me too much of the washing.

Seren is beautiful though and I like Oliver.

Beautiful name, so much nicer than Finlay and Oliver of which there are so many now. I like different names though.

Thanks, Expat. Not too keen. The other names are nice, or my ear is more accustomed to hearing them.

How do you pr. Osian?

Ruby was the number 2 most popular name last year, so there will be thousands of them around. Seren is lovely.

Osian is great! I much prefer it to Finlay and Oliver, both of which are so, so common these days.

Good luck!
