Oscar McLaughlin

Good luck!

Babyfg · 23/09/2019 08:20

Oscar- it's more timeless and a stronger name

Joeybee · 23/09/2019 08:20

All go okay with your surname. Oliver is my fave on your list. It is a super popular name though, would that put you off? Riley is think is an awesome name that isn't used enough, although I think it's becoming more and more popular for girls than boys.

MrsMozartMkII · 23/09/2019 08:21

Oscar. Riley as the middle name.

Joeybee · 23/09/2019 08:22

Autocorrect changed Oscar to Oliver, how annoying. Oscar is my fave on your list, and its popularity would bother me a little, but this might not bother you and if it doesn't, then totally go for this name. I think it is strong but sweet and works on any aged child or adult.

Oscar is a great name and sounds good with your surname. The others don't come close.

NoSauce · 23/09/2019 08:48

Oscar, the other two are terrible.

Atlasta · 23/09/2019 08:50

Oscar
I'm sorry but I find the other two a bit 'common'.
I also like Owen which, to me anyway, is similar.

DramaAlpaca · 23/09/2019 08:52

Oscar is the best of the three.

MustardScreams · 23/09/2019 08:53

Oscar definitely. Tyler and Riley will date badly.

AverageMummy · 23/09/2019 08:55

Oscar
The other two are really awful sorry

Bin85 · 23/09/2019 09:00

Also much prefer Oscar

IckleBear · 23/09/2019 09:12

Oscar!!

TillyTheTiger · 23/09/2019 09:22

Oscar is lovely. Hope everything goes smoothly with the birth!

Thank you all, very helpful and actually love Oscar with Riley as middle name! X

Great, go with that. Fwiw I don’t think Riley goes with Oscar if that matters. Oscar is quite traditional but Riley is a name that will date quickly.

But if you like it then that’s what matters.

painauchocolat84 · 23/09/2019 11:37

Oscar! 100%!

MissHenty · 23/09/2019 11:40

Oscar is gorgeous. Haven’t met any round where I live yet

Let us know what you decide @Mammyof3girls

My girls names are Sienna, Mylah and Zahra May so want to make sure I have a boys name that will blend with them. Disregarding the fact I will likely have another girl lol!!

Oscar, by miles! Oscar Riley is cute.

Morado · 23/09/2019 12:34

I love all three the same, but Oscar Riley does sound great 😁

Kinda has the same ring to is as Oscar Wilde.

CarysRed · 23/09/2019 12:35

Oscar!

WingingIt74 · 23/09/2019 16:23

Oscar McLaughlin is adorable....

userabcname · 23/09/2019 16:25

Oscar is a fab choice!

user1493494961 · 23/09/2019 23:45

Oscar by a mile, it's quite classy, the other two aren't.
