I really love this name. It's gorgeous, no? And it is an excellent name to make affectionate nicknames out of, easy to shorten. At the moment, it's a very, very popular name for pets. My own cat is named Oscar.-- Anonymous User 8/3/2006
I think Oscar is a great name for a pet, especially a cat or dog. Not fond of it for a person though.-- angelgurl 10/15/2006

Reminds me of Oscar the Grouch and I find it very unappealing.-- Jasmine 2/28/2007
I think this name is nice, but due to association with Oscar the Grouch, I wouldn't use it because he loves garbage and garbage is gross.-- CharlieRob 5/7/2007
For me this would just be a cute sort of name that one would associate with a furry pet or their great-grandfather, except for Oscar Wilde. He makes it awesome, somehow.-- Anonymous User 6/9/2007

A famous bearer (well, maybe not so famous) is Oscar, in the TV show Corner Gas. He's a tad ... odd.-- Anonymous User 5/14/2008
I like the name a lot - it's not that common, but sounds strong and mysterious.-- Anonymous User 7/1/2008
Dude. Oscar the Grouch rocks. If I were ever named after a Muppet, I think I'd be kind of honored. But then I think that's because of a dedicated love to all things puppets and Jim Henson. Anyhoo. Oscar is a name with character. I can totally see this little boy holding broken pieces of a vase, telling you, "I swear I didn't do it." Yeah, he'll get into trouble, but deep down, he's a good kid.-- Veronica_Mignon 8/12/2008

I advise against taking the mispronunciation Americans apply to the name. It is NOT Os-KER, bus Os-CAR! I can't replicate the symbols here, but the OED uses kar, with a short A and a soft R.-- amedeofelix 8/15/2010
This name is growing on me. But just like with the name George, I can't picture calling my child it because it's so strong. Still great though.-- Chrila96 9/12/2010
