Oscar?

[Namegame5000]

Second baby boy due in a couple of weeks and we think we are set on Oscar.

I really like it but it seems to be quite a Marmite name. Every time I say it, I have a tiny niggle that it’s not right but we can’t find a name we prefer.

What is your initial reaction to Oscar? I know it was very popular/over done but I’ve never actually met one, so the popularity doesn’t really bother me.

Thanks xx

I like it

Oscar is lovely name. I am hoping for little Oscar next year :-)

It's nice

Oscar is a great international name. I think it goes really well with Maximus thanks to the Irish mythology link.

I don't like it, sorry!

I love Max and Oscar

Just looked at the official statistics and Oscars numbers peaked in 2013 and have been declining every year since then. No wonder I don't know any! A good time to pick this name, it'll be outside top 20 soon

I think it's nice but so common it gets no reaction from me

I love it and Max and Ozzie sound really strong!

It's number 7. I doubt it will be out if the top 20 for another 10 years.

Yes Ozzie is cute

@SpicePumpkin we'll see - it's gone from over 4,500 babies born in England and Wales during 2013 called Oscar (which is when the name peaked), to around 3,300 babies called Oscar born in 2020. A massive drop. Looking at the trajectory there will be even less Oscar's in 2021 when the statistics come out . My money is on the name leaving the top 10 next year and there being less than 3,000 - we will see!

I love it! I've got three kids in three different school years and still know none so it's not common round here (London)
