Love it. My SIL's DS2 is called it.

It's very very popular here in Wales at the moment which might be a good or a bad thing for you.

Hmm, without having heard it before to look at it makes me think it's Ossian spelt wrongly. How is it pronounced, o-shun like Ocean?

Might take a bit of explaining either way so people don't assume a different take on it.

I do quite like it though it's a bit of a grower.

Love it.

Only heard of one other person called it from school so he'd be about 24 now! Actually, I think he was from Wales!

I like it - it would be on our shortlist but a friend of mine has just called her little boy Osian.

love it too. DD2 would have been that if she'd been a boy

I really wanted it for DS, but DP vetoed. Love Oshi as a nickname too.
