I took a look at Oscar's popularity and was surprised. It's consistently charted for the past 100 years, and it's ranked in the 100 & 200s since the 1970s. IN 2005 it was at 117.
I've definitely bumped into a few Oscars. My daughter attends school with one, and there was an Oscar at her previous school. In the early 2000s I noticed several little Oscars in DC.
I think it's a good name, with a neat history. Is it really still tied to Oscar the Grouch?
