Oswald?

Ok I have a love/ hate relationship with the name [name_m]Oswald[/name_m]. Part of me really thinks it’s quite cute and would use it, but the other half of me dislikes it and would only use it as a middle at most. So what do you berries think? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like it? Dislike it? Would [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] fit with my general style of names? Are there any names you would pair with it?

~Thanks😊

I think it is a little bit more clunky cute vintage than the names on your UC but i don’t think names have to “go”, and I like [name_m]Oswald[/name_m]!

Unfortunately, my mind goes straight to [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m]. I’m not American, but I suspect that association would be even stronger for some of our American berries! Phonetically, I like the sound, but the association is a lot for my mind to overcome. I’d say it fits the style of your other names though! :hugs:

Not sure if any of these would be your style, but I love [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] paired with…

Oswald [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_u]Julian[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_m]Mathias[/name_m]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_m]Mateo[/name_m]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]

NMS but there isn’t really anything wrong with it. :slight_smile:

I think it’s cute! I know a little [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_u]Briar[/name_u] (goes pretty exclusively by [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] tho) & it’s adorable on him!

I really like [name_m]Oswald[/name_m]. I wish I didn’t have the same strong association that @kasatka mentioned. I don’t think I could use it because of this, but I do think it’s really cute.

Oswald is cute!!! I could see a potential brother names [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] :heart_eyes: I’d die and go to heaven if I heard those together… but sadly my partner isn’t into either of those names, so they’re off the list.

I dont know the association to [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m], so apologies in advance… but [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] is a really nice name combo!

I feel the exact same way about it. I like the look and feel of it but… something feels off? Maybe it’s [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] that ruins it for me.

I think it’s really cute and I adore the nicknames [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] and [name_m]Woody[/name_m] (a stretch but so cute!) however between [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] and [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_f]Mosley[/name_f], I think there are just too many strong negative associations with this one.

Hmm, it’s a bit clunky for my tastes but it isn’t bad

Unfortunately I can’t get past [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m].

Because of the [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] association, I would only consider this name if it had strong personal/family significance. [name_m]Even[/name_m] then… :grimacing:

Go for it! [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] was over 50 years ago and it was only one man’s death he caused (as tragic as it was), it’s not like he committed genocide.

Ozzy is a cute nickname and if you want a better association, look no further than [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] the [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] Rabbit.
