I’m not pregnant but my husband and I are looking at names, I love Oscar, it works in Spanish and English and feels very international to me. I’m worried my husband might think of Oscar the grouch :sweat_smile: what do you think of Oscar?

I love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]! For kind of the same reason, it works in both [name_f]English[/name_f] and Spanish and it has such a lovely sound :))

I don’t think the [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] the grouch is as strong as it maybe used to be, and I don’t think it’s too much of a negative association. I think [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is recognized well enough as a name (especially in the hispanic world) that it wouldn’t be a problem.

I personally love [name_u]Ozzie[/name_u] as a sweet nickname :heartbeat:

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is a wonderful name! I may be biased since this is my dad’s name, but I think it works great for all ages! Such a classy choice. I love the nn [name_u]Ozzy[/name_u] as well :slightly_smiling_face:

I enjoy the name a lot! If I didn’t have a personal negative association with it, it’d fit right into my style. I like that it feels a bit timeless, and can be given a new spark through the nicknames Oz/Ozzy.

I don’t necessarily think of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] the Grouch right off the bat, but I also don’t think it’s a bad association! Could be cute more than anything (: all in all a solid choice to consider.

I love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] - gentle but with a bit of kick too. I vaguely know that [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] the Grouch is a muppet, but I think [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Wilde[/name_u] before that

I’ve met so many sweet little boys names [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] recently- it’s definitely gaining popularity which could be good or bad, depending on how you view it.

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is very versatile and straight forward. I don’t think [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] the grouch would be that strong of an association and even so I don’t see it as a bad thing. It’s a great choice and a solid name!

I love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] but it does remind me of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] the grouch :frowning: which makes me sad because I think it’s a nice name, but I just can’t get past that for some reason!!!

I’ve always loved [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. It’s such an effortlessly cool, handsome name and it has a lot of spunk. I don’t think [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] the Grouch is necessarily an overwhelming association, although some people might bring it up. It’s very, very popular where I live so it’s certainly not a connection that prevents anyone from using it.
