Longer name with nickname Ozzy

Hi all,
I love the name Ozzy for a boy, but would potentially want a longer name for it. Love Oscar but know too many to use.
Any ideas welcome, in addition to names I would like that are maybe similar.
Current boy names I like:
Dexter
Hugo
Navy
Arlen
August
Sage

I know an Ozzy whose real name is Austin.

OliviaFlaversham · 01/11/2023 19:12

Oswald

I really like August from your list though. I only know one Sage and it is a girl.

I know an Ozzy whose real name is Austin.

I was coming on to say exactly the same

Tisfortired · 01/11/2023 19:26

I love the name Austin. There is a mum at our baby group whose baby is just called Ozzy, not short for anything. It suits him.

I know an Ozzy who's full name was Oscar

I didn’t know people name their child based on a nickname before I joined MN. I always thought you name your child what you want and then a nickname comes along naturally!

<completely misses the point>

I know an Ozzy whose real name is Austin.

So do I, wonder if it's the same one 😂

WASZPy · 01/11/2023 19:34

I really like the nn Oggie for August, like the kid in Wonder.

Or Oswin for Ozzy if you don't want Oscar.

Finallygotmy3 · 01/11/2023 19:36

My son is just Ozzy. Although we do call him Oswald a lot which i swore I wouldn't do lol. He also gets Oz. If you love the name Ozzy just go for it, we've had a few raised eyebrows but to be fair, he's not their child and our school has far more 'out there' names than Ozzy.

Tisfortired · 01/11/2023 19:36

@exerciseviligance I actually know two Austin/Ozzy’s! One is my dads best friend (about 60) and one is my friend (early 30s) 😊

KirstenBlest · 01/11/2023 19:38

Oswin

RangleDrang · 01/11/2023 19:38

I had similar names on my list.. we also liked Jesse, Sonny, Ray, Frank, Laurie, Christie and Rafael

RangleDrang · 01/11/2023 19:39

Also, the Ozzy I know is just called Ozzy!

Gnomegnomegnome · 01/11/2023 19:41

Definitely Austin for Ozzy!

From your list I like Dexter and Hugo
The others are awful!

What about Wesley or Otis?

God I really wouldn’t just call him Ozzy, though it’s a nice nn.

Austin is good

Augustus ??

Ozymandias. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!
