Orson

[DueMay2021]

Stumbled across this name it means bear 🐻

I think it's the one but my OH is undecided. What do you think? 💙

As long as your surname isn't Cart

It's not bad (in that I don't think it's teasable and Orson will fit in with all the other -son names popular right now like Harrison, Mason, Jenson Jackson etc). But I must admit I'm not that keen on the sound and many people will associate it very strongly with Orson Welles (not a bad thing exactly - he was considered a great filmmaker, but it is quite a "one person" name). Bear is a more common nn for Edward or Arthur isn't it?

I'm really into unique names so I quite like Orson as it stands out!

Mork calling Orson. Come in Orson.

It’s certainly not unique. There were 2 at my son’s nursery, and a friend had an Orson born earlier this year. I think it’s fine but just makes me think of Orson from desperate housewives and feels a bit stuffy to me.

Nanoo Nanoo..

Classy! 👍👍👍

I immediately think of the late Orson Welles. Brilliant actor!

Reminds me of Desperate Housewives

@Lockdownlovernotfromliverpool Are we showing our age? Lol

Reminds me of the town in The Middle!

Sounds like awesome. Which isn’t a bad thing I suppose!

@PistolKnight 😂😂

@BigusBumus I don't get it 🤔

@Lockdownlovernotfromliverpool I don't get that either 😂

Also I've never seen desperate housewives

Mork calling Orsen was from the Mork and Mindy show as was nanoo nanoo. It starred Robin Williams as Mork.

It's an exceptionally ugly looking and sounding name to me. Sorry.

@Crankley oh ok I've never even heard of it 😂😂 I guess that's a good thing in this case

Mork at his finest!!
Sadly missed Robin Williams... Incidently recent report on his cause of death very very sad...

Makes me think Orson Wells

I don't like it personally, but nowt wrong with it.

In French it's those spikey things that cling on to rocks in the sea.

I really like it. Makes me think of Orson Welles, but also think Bear. Was on long list for DS, but we went with Edward nn Bear.

Is the Edward/Bear thing just due to Teddy being a shortening of Edward? I guess that could work for Theodore too then. I don’t know why arthur would be shortened to Bear?

I know one - he's called Sonny for short.

I can't help but say arson. I don't like it, sorry!

I know an Orsin he is incredibly cute and everyone comments on his lovely name, he’s 6 months old.

@PolarnOPirate Arthur means bear

Like it. Could be shortened to Ori or Oz.
