Oscar ... what do you think?

[LolaTheShowgirl]

So what do you think of Oscar? Which spelling Oscar or Oskar?

How about it Oscar Elliot Anchorsholme? Anchorsholme is the surname!

[catinthehat]

Whisky.
Don't forget Whisky.

and X ray

[Jacblue]

Love the name Elliot, but Oscar just reminds me of The Grouch!

[Elasticwoman]

I've got an Oscar. I thought I deserved one for my performance.

Oscar Wilde, Oskar Petersen, Oskar Schindler, Oscar Hammerstein, hero of The Tin Drum. All great role models.

[andyrobo237]

Oscar is the baby on Eastenders, along with Summer

[Twinklemegan]

I know 3 toddlers and one dog all called Oscar.

[Twinklemegan]

I know a Victor too, strangely.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

no, not keen, and Oskar reminds me of the Tin Drum

[Elasticwoman]

And why would you not want to be reminded of that epic tome mary ann?

[TwoIfBySea]

Well if people start picking up your baby and make weeping, long-winded speeches then don't say you weren't warned.

My nephew is Oscar. I hated it at first, but they said it was either Oscar or Bruno - and suddenly Oscar seemed more attractive. And it really suits him now - and I can't imagine him called anything else. A phenomenon which I think applies to every name. Except Sequoia, Rainbow and Mayashallahashbaz.

[Elasticwoman]

We had a cat called Bruno who died tragically.

[LynetteScavo]

I love the name Bruno.

Agree Victor is the new Oscar

[DonnyLass]

Its a bugger when a lovely name gets used on TV ... there's an Oscar in Eastenders and that's wha contributes to popularity

Same happened with my dds name ... pop tune came out 6mo after she was born with her name and I was like oh noooooooooooo

but she totally suits it

and Oscar is a fabulous name -- popular or not

[LargeGlassofRed]

ds is an Oscar he's 11 soon and I still love it he likes it too but hates his middle name,
Donald.

[DeeRiguer]

oscar statue also good role model

alot of them around these parts

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Elasticwoman - no, wasn't objecting to Oskar in the Tin Drum at all, was just saying it reminded me of him !

[PuppyMonkey]

I have a 16 year old nephew named Oscar - it was dead unusual when sis used it. She got it from darling Buds of May...

Unfortunately, now everyone will assume you are a fan of EastEnders and have been inspired by Tanya

[Tortington]

common

[LynetteScavo]

popular possibly!

[LolaTheShowgirl]

donnylass, have you got a valerie or a lola possibly?

[LuLuBai]

Hey Lynette - I have a friend with an 18 year old Oscar. Imagine how irked she is by the sudden surge in toddlers called Oscar.

[DonnyLass]

got a Delilah Beatrice

[hellish]

Elliot much better.

[expatinscotland]

When we get another male Persian cat, I'm going to name him Oscar.

It's a lovely cat's name.

For Xmas, the girls are getting a hamster who will be Elliot.

[Swedes]

I have an Oscar. I felt a rush of saliva in my cheeks when I heard Tania (Taaaaarn-ya) name her baby Oscar in Eastenders.

Leave it alone.
