Is Oscar becoming too popular?

[CEOD]

How many Oscars under 5 do you know and where are you? Sorry, copying the Jude thread here!!! Thank you all in advance!

I had no idea how popular it was until I went to a baby group with my Oscar and found there was another boy of similar age with the same name. There are also two at his nursery. I also bumped into a pre-teen Oscar at the supermarket the other day. Perhaps I should have done my research!!

Though tbh for us it's a family name (DH's grandad) and I tend to call him Ozzy anyway.

Oops, forgot to say, South East.

I have a 6 year old Oscar, and there are a few around.

Not too many but enough that we seem to bump into them.

I didn't pick the name to be original just cos I loved it so not too bothered, but it is more common than I realised.

I love it and have done for years. I don't know any Oscars and was really suprised when we started ttc this year to find out is so common!

I remember a schoolmate using it in around 2000 (she posted on Friends Reunited, so a while ago!). Then, there seemed to be a flurry of Oscars. However, I don't know any recent babies with that name (the 2015 stats don't bear me out though, so maybe it is a regional thing).
