Alfred or Oscar?

[SarahAJP]

Hi,

We have got our names down to the final 2! I would apprciate any advice on helping to choose which would be best for our son.

Thank you

I vote for Oscar - this was the name I had picked out both pregnancies for a boy (had two girls!). I love it. But also like Alfred too.

I prefer Alfred because the shortened Alfie is super cute plus we used to have a dog called Oscar although I do think they are both equally lovely names

I prefer Oscar... But why not wait and see which one suits him better when he arrives?

Another vote for Oscar!

Alfred associates with Hitler to me

Oscar.

I can’t stand Alfie.

Thank you for the feedback :)

Oscar definitely. There's lots of Alfreds, Freddies and Alfies. And Ozzie is great as a nickname for Oscar too.

I like Oscar best.

Not keen on Alfred / Alfie. As a teacher, I've taught a lot of Alfie's it very popular and they've all been 'live wires'.

Oscar. There are so many Alfies where I live.

Both such lovely names!! If I had to pick... Oscar. But love both

Oscar. I had two elderly relatives called Alfred so will always be an old man name to me.

Alfred

Alfred is lovely xx

I have an Alfred and we call him Fred but Oscar is also lovely. Why not wait and see what suits him when he’s here

I really like both those names. If I chose Alfred I'd use Fred as a nickname though, not Alfie.

Oscar

Alfred. (The Great.)

Oscar. Alfie is very blah.

Oscar for sure.
I do like Alfred but I don’t like nn Alfie.

Love both!

Alfred

Oscar. I don’t like Alfie
