Harry, Toby or Oscar?

42 replies

Expecting DC2 - a boy. We already have a girl Freya.

DH loves Oscar but I’m not 100% convinced. I have always loved Toby but would be Toby on bc (not Tobias or Tobin) and not sure if it’s enough!

Love Harry but DH out off by popularity but I’m not bothered about that. Oscar and Toby arnt popular at all in our neck of woods (n.ireland).

Looking for opinions on people’s prefernces. Middle name will be Patrick.

Thanks in advance!

Not keen on Oscar but love Toby.

Elliott would also fit if you like it.

Oscar is lovely

If you're in N.I. you might be interested to know that Oscar was the son of Oisin & Niamh, and the grandson of Fionn mac Cumhaill.

My DH and I picked it for our DS as we wanted an Irish name that wasn't going to cause him issues (pronunciation etc) but Harry and Toby are lovely timeless names too

Oscar Patrick

I love Oscar.

Shadow1234 · 09/05/2019 13:16

Harry would be my favourite - but so so popular
Oscar is a lovely name and goes well with Patrick
For some reason, I have just never liked the name Toby (but don't really know why).

Disfordarkchocolate · 09/05/2019 13:20

I love Toby (and Tobias). Oscar and Harry or both lovely too though, you both have good taste.

Thanks all! Find boys names so much harder than girls.

Archie? Wink

hewontstopshitting · 09/05/2019 15:40

I love the name Oscar

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 15:41

Rowan?

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 15:41

Only as the Freya I know has a brother called Rowan.

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 15:42

Me and DH kept going back to the drawing board till we found a name we both liked.

Grasspigeons · 09/05/2019 15:43

My least favourite is Harry of those but I still like it. its a nice name

I think Toby just about best of Oscar and Toby

Rystall · 09/05/2019 15:44

Harry is gorgeous/ my favourite of those names.

Felix? ( my unused name!)

Thanks @hairytoity - trust me, this is us having gone back endlessly! Literally the only 3 we both agree on but just have different favourites. Maybe we’ll know when baby arrives - here’s hoping!

Love Harry and Oscar.

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 17:33

What about Monty?

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 17:34

I like all three of your names.

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 17:35

Suggested Monty as I know a Toby with a brother called Monty.
