[Opinions] I'm surprised how popular Oscar/Oskar is...

I adore it, but I've never encountered anyone apart from Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler and Oscar the Grouch with the name. I guess it's like Maisie or Freya - a lot more popular in the UK than in the US.

Actually, Oscar has never been out of the top 300 in the United States, so obviously many American parents don't think of Oscar the Grouch. Oscar was least popular in the early-mid 1960s - the Muppet with the name wasn't even around then.
