Oscar?

[unknownscot]

We had agreed on Oscar but I'm starting to go off it.
Any other Celtic/Irish boy names similar?

Oisin?

I was going to suggest Oisin too. He was Oscar’s father in the myths/legends wasn’t he?

flynn
finn
quinn
torin
rory

Quinn
Otis
Rory

Odhrán

Osain

Eamonn surely due a comeback and similar to Adian which is popular

What do you like about Oscar? Is it the meaning, sound or how the name looks?
What sort of surname do you have?

Oscar is very nice. I can't decide if I love it or not, maybe I just like it.

Alasdair (if you like the R ending, which I do)

A mixture of other Irish/Scottish:

Cormac
Ronan
Rowan
Rory
Aidan
Eoin or Eoghan
Ewan
Ferdia
Colm
Dara or Darragh

Macsen, if Welsh is good too!

Now that's a question. I don't really know, my husband came up with it and I agreed but now I'm not sure.

I like names like Charlie, Oliver(Ollie) which he hates.

We have semi agreed on Oscar or Joseph. We did for a while both like Ben, I still really like Ben.

We have one of the most common surnames in the UK

We have one of the most common surnames in the UK

Then I'd choose a less common first name!

Alistair, Ivor, Ivo, Owen, Innes, Kester.. or if you like the a end then all the biblical ones - Jonah, Noah, Josiah, Joshua, Elijah, Elisha, Ezra, Zachariah

Oscar is nice but there are many of them

We have an Oscar ☺️ I was the same as you - started to question whether I did really love the name towards the end of pregnancy but now that he is here I absolutely adore it and can’t imagine him being called anything else.

We have a little Oswald at school. Two years I would have said "eew, that's horrid", but I now think it's great. It's amazing what a nice child can do for a name...

Oran ☺️

Update: we didn't name him Oscar 😂

He’s arrived? Congratulations

My Oscar is 14
He was the only one in his year of 90 at Primary and his year of Secondary too. There was 1 at Pre school but we dont know any others

@unknownscot oh you have to tell us, what did you call him?
