Baby boy name - opinions please!

gaylegreen

We are 20 weeks and recently found out we are having a boy (yay!) so the baby name game has begun. Drysdale is a family name and will definitely be the middle name (goes way back as a middle name on hubby's side of the fam). What do you think of these 2 ideas? Or do you have any other suggestions? I'm looking for something off beat but not too trendy:

Oscar Drysdale Green
Hudson Drysdale Green

I think they are both a little trendy, but not too popular. I like them both though. They flow well with the MN and LN. My DS1's MN is Oscar, so I especially like that one. It's also my grandfather's name.

Hudson is way trendy, so I suggest you skip that one. Oscar is nice.

Other possibilities in (IMO) a similar vein that come to mind:

Otto
Hugh
Asher
Iver
Walter
Angus
Hector
August

I'm loving Oscar!

I like Oscar too but DH still needs convincing. He hasn't vetoed the name yet (like he did with a few others I suggested) but he's still far more "team Hudson". This will need some massaging.... Any pointers for those that got their hubbies to see the light on an awesome name??

You won't regret either of those names, they are both solid. But I do prefer Oscar. It'll be hard to stop Hudson from becoming "Hud" at some point, and I think that's a terrible nn.

Definitely Oscar! Love it! Suggestions: Hugo, Theodore, Nicholas/Nico, Lewis.

Are you guys planning on using nicknames at all? If so, I think Ozzie is such a cute nickname for Oscar. Maybe DH will like that idea. I know my husband would...being a huge fan of Black Sabbath, haha.

@jasi705 I'd definitely use Ozzie or Oz as a nickname. Super cute. And @mnerani, yeah, I don't love Hud as a nickname but it's probably inevitable :-S . Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Fingers crossed I can convince DH. At least I have 4 more moths to work on him!
