Oslo

[Twelvelegs]

for a boy.....
I can predict the response but I love it.

No.

if you love it, then have it

Personally, I prefer Stockholm, but each to their own

it is a full moon isn't it??

otto? much nicer. most "place" names are horrid.

We are going to do it, I just wondered what type of negative response we would get.

The capital of Norway? As your child's name? Really?

bjorn is better i've never met one

Otto... driver on Simpsons.

poor boy. is he born yet? maybe he wont look like an oslo.... (who does?)

Oslo? Really?

LOL pointydog

I quite like it v unusual and nothing wrong with norway!

No reminds me of that large man on Keeping Up Appearances. I am not keen on it at all.

Astra I have a cousin caled Bjoern...scandinavian names are often used in Germany

As for Oslo....erm...no...not a name really is it?

But both of my boys have
unusual names, not twee and still masculine, and I couldn't 'do' traditional names as it wouldn't fit.

I hate names like Daniel, Peter, Joshua, Theo, Luke, Jack and all the other tripe that appears on every name list.

If you like place names how about Scunthorpe?

my boys don't have traditional names, but that doesn't have to mean that you have to use placenames to name your kids, surely....

yes, scunthorpe seems more foreign to me than Oslo!!!
Anyway it will be Oslo unless we find a better name. Just feel well warned of the reception.

lol....

Agree, I immediately thought of Onslow from Keeping up Appearances! Don't do it!!!

Oslo. Oh dear. Well it could be worse.

Have to say I quite like it. I wouldn't use it as I do like traditional names and have a Joseph so Twelvelegs will be cringing! If you like it go for it. I also love the name scunthorpe, lol but couldn't use it cos it's were I live

Not cos I can't use it but cos I live there!

Not sure if you will ever see this, but I love the name Oslo and would like to use it for our son to be. Did you end up using the name? If so, how do you feel about it now?
