Hello everyone. You were so helpful before in giving me your opinions on my names for my future wee man, who is due in [name_f]May[/name_f]. The names that I chose were [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_m]Anton[/name_m], and [name_m]Lazlo[/name_m]. Unfortunately my husband can’t seem to love any of them. He thinks [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is the name. I like it, always have, but I’m afraid it is a bit of a trendy name. What do you think? Thanks again for your help! This is a fun, yet surprisingly challenging process!
I say you should try to find a name you BOTH love equally - or else it might always feel like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] was HIS pick of name and you just liked it.
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] is very different, have never heard it and really like it.
OR perhaps you can fall in love with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] too if you find a middle name that compliments it well that you really like.
Thanks. I do like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], quite a bit. I’m just worried it is too trendy/common. I am saddled with a super popular name of its time, [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] and I don’t want my little one to be one of many in his group, as I was.
Yes - that makes perfect sense! I have not met many Oscars? But is it in the top 100 this year? If so there is a good chance he will go to school with some. My name is [name_m]Kendel[/name_m], so also very unique and I liked having a unique name. My middle name is [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] and I grew up with so many Jennifers that I was always glad to have the unique first name.
I dont think [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is trendy at all. I have only ever met one little [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and that is it. His name is [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] which I just love! I also used to work in a daycare and never came across that name. I think its a great name and under used. If you both adore it I say use it or you can always make a short list and bring the names to the hospital to see which one fits. Good luck!
Where are you from?
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is in the top 10 boys names in the UK and I find it really, really trendy right now. I actually really like the name but due to its popularity I would only use it as a middle name.
I live in [name_f]Canada[/name_f]. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is not as popular here as in the UK. I couldn’t do it if it were a top ten name. I would even prefer a name outside of the top 100 but that’s not a big deal for me.
Yes, certainly I will save the final decision until we meet our little one.
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is the quintessential hipster boy name where I live ([name_f]Olive[/name_f] would be it for a girl). I’m not in the UK either. I personally wouldn’t use it for that reason, plus I can’t quite shake the grouch association.
Too many kids will associate it with sess
