I really love [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Oscar[/name]. I think you can find name associations for almost any name!

[name]Oscar[/name] like the hotdog and food products, “My bologna has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R”… not overly helpful, just adding to your list of associations.

I fell in love with [name]Oscar[/name] (sp. [name]Oskar[/name]) after reading the [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Saffron[/name] Foer book, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It was an amazing book and he was an amazing kid.
[name]Hugo[/name] is one of my favorites too. The Invention of [name]Hugo[/name] Cabret is an awesome book.Also there’s [name]Victor[/name] [name]Hugo[/name], which is a great association as well.
I honestly don’t think [name]John[/name] [name]Calvin[/name] or [name]Calvin[/name] and [name]Hobbes[/name] are bad associations.

[name]Felix[/name] ([name]Felix[/name] the [name]Cat[/name], [name]Felix[/name] [name]Salmon[/name], [name]Felix[/name] [name]Hernandez[/name]).
[name]Emil[/name] ([name]Emil[/name] Nolde- german painter, [name]Emil[/name] Stevanof, [name]Emil[/name] [name]Zola[/name]).
[name]Otto[/name] (there is a german company called [name]Otto[/name] Versant, the Ottoman Empire).
[name]Jasper[/name]/[name]Casper[/name]/[name]Caspar[/name] ([name]Casper[/name] the friendly Ghost, [name]Kaspar[/name] is also the lead character from [name]German[/name] children’s puppet theatre).
[name]Victor[/name] (& [name]Victoria[/name] - the musical, [name]Viktor[/name] Krum - [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name], [name]Victor[/name] [name]Cruz[/name], also it’s apparently a dog food brand).
[name]Daniel[/name] (and the Lions, [name]Daniel[/name] [name]Day[/name] [name]Lewis[/name], [name]Daniel[/name] [name]Radcliff[/name], [name]Daniel[/name] [name]Craig[/name])
[name]Anton[/name] ([name]Anton[/name] [name]Ferdinand[/name], [name]Anton[/name] Yelchin, [name]Anton[/name] Syndrom, the only others I can think of are characters form [name]German[/name] children’s books.)
[name]Axel[/name] ([name]Axel[/name] [name]Rose[/name], as in the [name]Axel[/name] of your car, a series of [name]Gay[/name] boutique hotels)
[name]Maxwell[/name] ([name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Johnson[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name] the grammy award winning musician)

i like calvin :slight_smile:

I really like [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Oscar[/name] and [name]Hugo[/name]! All names come with associations. You could use [name]Calder[/name] or [name]Callahan[/name] instead of [name]Calvin[/name] if it’s the nickname [name]Cal[/name] that you love. My broad association with [name]Calvin[/name] is presidential–so you could substitute [name]Buchanan[/name], [name]Grant[/name], or [name]Franklin[/name]; with [name]Oscar[/name], my broad association is timeless Swedish, so you could substitute [name]Carl[/name], [name]Axel[/name], [name]Olof[/name], [name]Gustav[/name]; with [name]Hugo[/name], my broad association is Italian cool, so you could substitute [name]Enzo[/name], [name]Matteo[/name], or [name]Luca[/name].

[name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Phoebe[/name]

Forgot to suggest [name]August[/name]!
