I like either [name_m]Orson[/name_m] or [name_m]Oswin[/name_m], but I think [name_m]Orson[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] flows together the best. [name_m]Orson[/name_m] is nice because it has literary connections, a decent meaning, and a strong sound.

I love [name_m]Oswin[/name_m]!

While none of these names that I have ever or probably would ever consider, I am really liking [name_m]Orson[/name_m]. I think that it sounds familiar without being common, and that like that it is very straight forward pronunciation-wise. I think it’ll age pretty well, and it sounds fantastic with [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
Try as I might, I just am not fond of the sounds of Odwin or [name_m]Oswin[/name_m], I’m not quite sure why. That’s just personal taste though.
Congrats of baby #3, and hope you find a name you love!

[name_m]Orson[/name_m] is super cool! I also quite like [name_m]Oswin[/name_m], it’s certainly growing on me…

If you like quirky O names, how about:

[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Oslo[/name_m]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m]

Ortiz
[name_m]Ovid[/name_m]

I prefer [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. If your like [name_m]Oswin[/name_m] what about [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]? I particularly like [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] as another option with the same feel.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Ansel[/name_m]?

[name_m]Oswin[/name_m] is really precious.

I voted [name_m]Orson[/name_m] as it’s on our “short list”. I admit though that I also tried to get [name_m]Oswin[/name_m] on our short list bit hubby wouldn’t approve. I adore both names.
