How many Oscars (nick name Ozzy) do you know?

[namechange7891011]

I know the name Oscar is very popular at the moment. We really like it as it is such a lovely name but also really love Ozzy as a nickname.

Just wondering how many Ozzy’s people know (in real life.. so not Ozzy Osbourne haha).

thanks

Not a single one

not helpful but my cat is called Ozzy

know of one (son of a colleague, he’s about 10 or 11)

I know 2 aged around 3

I know lots of Oscars under 10 at least 20 if not more but not one of them is called Ozzy. I think Oscar is one of those names where it's rarely shortened.

I know a few Oscars but none of them get called Ozzy.

Three, I think. And they are all called Ozzy.

High school teacher. There are 1-2 Oscars per year group.

One, who’s about four & is called the whole thing.

Teacher, lots of Oscar’s none called Ozzy but 95% of Oscar’s in my experience are a pain. It’s one of those names where you know you might be in for a difficult year l.

wow so many replies already. Thanks all. Currently being induced and trying to decide on the final name choice whilst we kill time 🤣

1 my cousin he's 18

What else is on your list. Honestly Oscar is so popular they become one of the crowd and sort of all merge together.

Thank you that’s interesting.

Just the one, who is my Nephew. Never called Ozzy.
Editing to add, after seeing PPs post! - he's a very sweet, sort of quiet, sensitive child. Very feeling of others.

@Brewtiful our second name choice is Alexander nick name Alex. We were set on Alexander the whole pregnancy but have been having second thoughts on it. Oscar is really the only other name we like.

My grandson is an Ozzy

There's one in DS1's year 4 class. I think 2, maybe 3 in DS2's year 2 year group (90 kids). All Oscar, not Ozzy though.

And my very new nephew, born on Friday! ❤

One, I think. I actually don’t know many little Oscars. I do know an Austin nn ozzy though.

Love Ozzy

There are three Oscars in my DD’s preschool.

Personally I much prefer Alexander.

I really tried to avoid names that were having a “moment” so that’s what would put me off Oscar. Some people, quite reasonably, don’t mind about that sort of thing, so depends whether you’re fussed.

2, age 6 and 8. Neither called ozzy though

I know x 3 aged 2-4 (none get shortened to Ozzy). No little Oscars in any of my baby groups.

hope it all goes well!

Much prefer Oscar / Ozzy to Alexander / Alex. It’s got more personality to it

Not sure I know any Ozzys, one maybe?

But I know sooo may Oscars. I think there’s about 6 in my DC’s year at school and two of my friends have Oscars.
