hi all expecting my 3rd dc3 whos my first boy i love the name oscar but it seems very popular what do you ladies think

hi TheOneAndOnlyAlpha no i dont not even heard it in my daughters school either oh and Writerwannabe83 thats made ma awful about the name now

hi FeegleFion thank you thanks everyone else who replied seems most think its nice name i think i better get a real think about it now before i change my mind

DS1 is an Oscar and he is completely awesome.

So on that basis alone I think you should use it.

HTH

I love it. I don't know any.

Given that Writerwannabe83 is (I'm guessing) 29 or 30 and that Oscar is a name that is most likely to belong to a boy under 10 I'm hoping that she's reasonably unlikely to be dating an Oscar for a good while yet; so probably a good thing that she doesn't fancy the idea.

thank you elQuintoConyo i didnt expect some of those responses :/ everlong thanks its good to hear the positive replys

aww thats lovely to hear Bicnod thank you

Lovely name and not too popular - think there's only 2 in DS's school.

mimitwo very good point.

One of my best friends is called Angelita (little angel) perhaps I should not have even got to the shake-hands-pleased-to-meet-you stage and run away tittering like a prissy tit instead?

I like it, but yes v popular. Three people in my department at work (about 40 people) have used it (2 within last year, 1 has a four yo)... All three are secretaries (legal secretaries) if that sways anything at all....

All my comments were made in the absolute lightest of humours, I promise

As someone has rightly said, I'm not of an age where I would be dating an Oscar and I'm sure when your Oscar is of a dating age it may well be one of them sexiest boys names there is!!

If you love it, go for it. You will always meet some people who like it and some who don't, but that's just life I guess

Best of luck with your birth x x

I like the spelling with a K - it looks a bit more masculine

...and you just couldn't fancy someone with an unsexy name? What's that twat called in 50 Shades? (I haven't read it).

If I have a second DS I'll be sure to give him a 'sexy' name - any suggestions, 83 ?

Sorry to be arguing on your thread, OP. Good luck with the birth, may your DS be as happy and healthy as mine

The twat in 50 shades is called Christian - and it always sticks out because one of my exes was called Christian and he was a vile human being. I loved his name though and it did actually make him more appealing to me. And look where that got me

I like Oscar. FWIW, I chose my second favourite name for DS1 because the first name was too common- now he is at school, there are 4 children in his year with the same name as him and I hear it all over the place ( it suits him better though ) whereas I only hear the other name occasionally!!

thanks all i see we all think diffrent of course which is why its nice to ask what others think

Oscar is a great name. I teach quite a few but it is less common than Charlie or George. Lots of those!

Lots of Henrys too.

I know one Oscar and he is south American :)

Nickname ozzy?! Not my cuppa tea in afraid.

I seem to know all 3000 of the Oscars born last year.
