There is one Oscar in ds class. He is very naughty but amazingly clever.

Skegness · 15/01/2010 11:32

0 of 50ish and there were 0 of 50ish in their last school too. They are 10 though (twins) and I have the impression that it's increased in popularity over the past few years.

The only Oscar I have ever known was a most delightful, gentle, intelligent border terrier, about 26 years ago.

Two Oscars at DS1's pre school (age 3/4), of around 40 or so in total. Both are lovely (he is friends with both). It is fairly popular round here but not as popular as DS1's name!

AnAngelWithin · 15/01/2010 11:30

i know of 4 oscars, all under the age of 5. 3 of them are horrid! lol

One Oscar (yr1) at school - a little on the um, lively side, shall we say, but generally a nice little boy. And I know at least three dogs called Oscar: all under 2 yrs old, and very cute, but that might not be what you wanted to hear?

mumoftoomany · 15/01/2010 11:29

I know 2 little Oscars, so I do think that the name is becoming quite popular/common. But if you love it, thats the most important thing.

Personally, I prefer Henrik - simple, masculine and more unique.

oohIsay · 15/01/2010 11:29

I know quite a few, about 6 in total. Half are from nice families and the other half are from rough families. It's too popular to be 'posh' or middle-class.

FlightAttendant · 15/01/2010 11:26

called I mean!

FlightAttendant · 15/01/2010 11:25

oh dear I did that...told everyone what he was going to be told, then once he arrived, changed it!

There were a lot of awful silences as everyone (apart from one person I think) hated the name.

It made me feel quite sad but it was his name, and it suits him, and people will get used to it (he's nearly 3)

Not keen on Wilfred and Oscar too popular/common imo.

FlightAttendant · 15/01/2010 11:18
