Oslo

[Twelvelegs]

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

Lots is cities are used as names eg Florence, Sophia, Paris, Brooklyn, etc. Oslo is no different and sounds quite masculine.

I don't particularly like place names as human names... However, it isn't ridiculous sounding, I'd say on a similar level to Florence, Brooklyn etc. Also, it will fit in well with current baby name trends as it isnt that different in sound to names like Arlo and Oscar. Plus you could always use Ozzy as a nn. If you like it, go for it.

You're insistent on having that name, so why do you care what anyone thinks? I don't like it, by the way.

I would be wondering if he was conceived there, though I would not be brave enough to enquire.

Oh, for Pete's sake.

MASSIVE ZOMBIE THREAD.

2008!!!!

I like it OP. It's different and unusual. Most mumsnetters don't like anything that's out the top 10 of most popular names

I like it. Better than Archie and Clementine and the like (no offense to parents of Archie and Clementine). It's creative without sounding stupid or babyish.

Would really like to know now if they went with Oslo?!
Who knows, maybe by now shes had a Stockholm and Helsinki as well
