I like Osvaldo nn Oz, Cosmo nn Oz (this one especially!), and Prospero nn Oz. I'm not the biggest fan of either Oswald of Osiris in general.

The only Os- name I like it Oscar, which Ylva suggested. But it has more of on OSS sound than OZ; though Oz as a nn for Oscar is still totally 'do-able' imo. :b I think I like Cosmo the best of the ones you listed. Oz is cute for a nn, but it really only makes me think of "The Wizard of Oz" or (better yet, lol) the show "Oz" that was on HBO about men in prison. I liked the show, but now "Oz" takes on a whole different meaning. :-

ETA: Elinor mentioned Osbourne, which I thought of also, actually, when I first saw your post, mainly because of Ozzy Osbourne whose name is really John. You could use Osbourne as the mn and call him Oz. ? Just an idea.

I have a bit of thing for "Os" names. I love Osborne, Osmund and Oswin, and I think Oz would make an adorable nickname.

What about Oscar or Ossian?

---

Oscar is a classic and popular name in Sweden (originally a Celtic name). But maybe it has negative associations in USA?

---

Ossian is another Celtic name (also spelt Oisin) which is now considered by many parents in Sweden.

---

From your names, I like Cosmo best. Sounds really cosmopolitan ;)

---

Oswald makes me think of the murder or J F Kennedy. Osiris is too much Egyptian god, and Prosepero is too much Shakespearian magician.

I like Cosmo best of the names listed. I think Oz would be a good nickname for it, though.

---

Not too fond of it.

I Oswald and Cosmo though I would never choose a name just because i like the nickname

I can't say I really like any of them, Cosmo is a bit too intergalactic for me (as in Cosmos), Oswald is OK but a little boring.

I really hate them all, sorry, but the best by far is Cosmo nn Oz.

How about Osmosis? (you don't need to take that seriously, I don't if it's even a real name). I have a dog named Oscar (that could be another suggestion) and sometimes I call him Osmosis lol. I don't really know the point in that but hey it's two suggested names!

---

Out of your ideas I like Cosmo.

---

Another suggestion: Austin? That could possibly work?

Everytime I see Cosmo, I think of the Fairly Oddparents.

---

I kind of like Oswald..reminds me of the comedian Patton Oswald.
