Is Oscar really very popular?

[BreeVDKamp]

How many do you know? I really like it but don't want him to have to be Oscar H!

TIA

(btw I have already seen that it's number 7 apparently, but I haven't heard it in real life much)

I know 3 ages are 6, 4 1/2 & 8 months all very different types of parents.

Personally I think if you like the name then use it but my dd is called Amelia.

I know two Oscars, a 1 year old and an 8 year old.

I know of quite a few under 5 where I live.

I only know 1 who is 9.

I know 2. One is 3, the other 5.

I know 2 baby Oscars and 1 older one.

Love the name - not the popularity so much!

I know an 11 year old, two nine year olds, two seven year olds and a 5 year old. It's very popular.

Don't know any in RL but know a few on some other mummy websites I go on!

I know a 5 month old.

I can think of 3, all aged between 7 and 5.

I think it depends a bit where you live. Where we were in the South East it literally felt like it was every other child in any playground. Where we are now in the West Country it seems much less common and DS is the only one in his school.

I know about 5. Plus everytime I go to the park, I swear every child their is being called by Oscar too. Very popular! Lovely name though

I know loads

It's popular because its ace

Hmm. It IS lovely.

Charles that's interesting, I'm currently south east but will hopefully end up back in the south west!

All our girls choices are outside the top 50 but all the boys choices are super popular!

I do like Oscar though, I do indeed...

But is it the next Ben/Tom/Sam??????? There were FOUR Bens in 2 Sams in my tutor group at school and it just made things a bit dull.

I know 2 10yo Oscars.

And one Grouch.

I know 2 under 1yo and no others

It started out as an alternative name. Now it's not cool.

I know 5, they're 13, 9, 9, 6, 4.

The mother of the 13 year old is well knarked, lol

Can I suggest Balonz?

I have an Oscar and he is 15, don't know any others at all. At the time he was born loads of people sniggered when we said his name and one person said that we couldn't call him that as their cat was called it

Yes, very popular.

I know about 5 from age 5 and down. 2 of them are in the same school. However currently different classes. Next year however they will be year 1&2 and in same class so may became Oscar A&B at that point not sure.

It is a ok name.. (high praise coming from me who doesnt do top 10 names laughs)

Two in the same nursery class
