Yeah, I've liked it since I re-noticed it (first time was Sesame Street). That was when my friend named her son
Oscar in 2003. I think it is uncommon enough in my world that it could suit any kind of guy.
Until today, though, it had escaped my notice that it is Gaelic. I always thought it was Scandinavian, or maybe
German. Probably because young
Oscar's dad is Norwegian, and because one of the proteins I worked on in the lab was named
Oskar (by a
German scientist who characterized it).
