Oscar or Aidan

[SycamoreTall]

Just that, really - two names we're considering at the moment. Thanks!

How come Niamh & Oisin can’t go together? Is there a connection I don’t know? Niamh is lovely though, but with a sister Niamh I think I’d definitely choose Aidan over Oscar. Aidan seems to ‘fit’ more with Niamh. Although of course it doesn’t really matter.

Cross-posted. Bored of this. Bye

I like Aidan

Aidan is a lovely name.
At school we used to call fleas "Oscars", so I'm biased. 😕

@Kanaloa en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niamh_(mythology)

their tenuous connection means they'd like a celtic name
I don't see the problem with using any name you like, Celtic or otherwise no matter where you're from.

Ooohhh. I did look both names up thinking they might have the same meaning or something! I’m shamefully not too clued up on mythology! But yes that would certainly put a pin on Oisin 😂 it’s still a beautiful name though.

I love both names
Oscar for Wilde
Aidan because it feels like the most classic of Irish names.
Also, an uncle-cousin of mine was named Aidan MacCarthy. He was a doctor in the RAF during WWII. He was captured by the Japanese and held in a POW camp in Nagasaki until the end of the war. There's a book. And a film.
It's a hero's name.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either. I know lots of little Oscars and really like Aidan as being a bit different but not unknown so that would be my preference.

I would go Auden purely because Oscar is very popular. Both lovely

Ffs Aidan

Oscar.

Aidan = naughty boy or teenage transman.

?!? Can I ask where snouts do you live? I know a few middle class Jewish boys named Aidan.

*where abouts
And the Jewish ref obviously because of your username x

Both very good but I have to agree
