If I call my baby Oscar..

[SPR1107]

... will people secretly be thinking 'Oscars a dogs name'?

No.

No, it's fairly popular at the moment. Lovely name!

I like it.

I have a son called oscar, I named him after my first dog

I doubt it. I know lots of little Oscars at the moment and I've never thought that.

It’s my car’s name.

Would not cross my mind, it's lovely name. I think of Oscar Blaketon but that's a reference for someone your nan's age only.

I know a boy named Oscar, love love love the name

No.

These days people seem to give their dogs whatever 'human' names are popular. So I'm sure there are plenty of dogs called Oscar, but there are also loads called Jake, Max, Daisy etc etc. just as there are loads of little kids with these names.

So what I'm saying is, 'no'

No.

Great answers!

No

I'd think 'Wilde'. Perfectly acceptable name for a human. I judge people who give pets children's names.

No. The only thing that put us off was Oscar Pistorious as it was around that time that we were choosing names and he was in the news.

Haha! I used to think Oscar was a dog's name. But I actually really like it as a human name these days.

I’d just think he was wild.

Is there a particular link between Oscar and dogs? I’ve never had that association.

No, classic Irish name from the Fenian cycle.

Very common human name!

Not at all - it's such a popular name now.

Some of us might think of Oscar The Grouch, but that mainly reflects our age (40 plus).

I love it!
My ds is 16 and called Oliver. I had another baby in 2011 and if it were a boy he would have been Oscar.
Dd is almost 8 and her most prized possession is a plush crocodile called Oscar ( i may have influenced the name 😊 ) and I still love it.

Our dog is Oscar, but all our animals have 'human' names. So yes it makes me thing dog...but MY dog, not dog name. Go for it OP. Love the name.

No... they’ll probably just think ‘oh, another Oscar’. Loads of them around at the moment!

No but it's very popular at the moment - I know of about 6!
