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

Why would he be called those names or are they just random examples? Just want to check I am not missing anything that would directly link him to those names

Just one. My cat.

I know an Austin that gets Ozzy but I don’t know any Oscar’s

The only baby Ozzy I know is Oswald.

Two dogs, one cat, and one person but he is a young adult (uni age).

A couple.

One is a Jack Russell and one is a Staffy.

One, he’s 25. Never called Ozzy.

I know a cat called Ozzy.

They are exactly the kind of totally random words that emerge as nicknames. Could come from a habit, a word, a day out, a food preference, an event... anything. That's how nicknames come about. Hence why if you like a certain version or spelling, use that, although even that may get evolved as well.

My own family nickname isn't even a real word, it evolved from my difficulty in saying something when learning to speak and many decades on it has never been shaken off (even in public 😭😂)

Do you not have pet names or nicknames for anyone in your friends and family?

I love the idea of consulting Napoleon like a baby names book. Though as he ditched Desirée for Josephine, it’s nice they stayed on good terms!

I’ve known a few Oscars and never known one called Ozzy.

I’d be concerned people would think you’d named him after Ozzy Osbourne who despite the adoration wasn’t really a great bloke in lots of ways.

I know loads of boys called Oscar, mainly in the age 6-18 age bracket (it doesn't seem quite as popular as it once was, around me, in the under 6s).

Not one of them is known as Ozzy though, to my knowledge.

I know 4 Oscar’s but none with nn ozzy

2 Oscar’s and only 1 of them goes by Ozzy

One dog.

Three - an adult, a child and a dog.

None

I know 3 small Oscars, two of whom regularly go by Ozzy and one Oska.

One.

Know two other small Oscars though.

One nephew, nickname Oz not Ozzy. There’s also one at my daughter’s school. Think he’s just known as Oscar. They are both tweens.

Three Oscars under 2, one has gone by Ozzy since birth.

I know two Oscars around the age of twenty.

I know of three younger ones but I've never seen them.

Loads but that’s because my husband is Australian so I know a lot of Australians. It’s a popular name there.

I do agree that Oscars are rascals. It’s a cockerpoo name and the boy Oscars seem to also have that vibe.

several Oscars, none go by Ozzy

Several Oscars, one was Oz, shortly thereafter know as Wizard.

No Ozzys, and I was a teacher until last year. Lots of Oscars, all lovely.
