I can't care for it. I can only think of Oscar the Grouch and Oscar Madison. For some reason, Oscar Wilde never comes to mind when I see or hear the name. I agree it's funny and geeky, but I fail to see any handsomeness. I can't think of any nicknames, and I don't see why a nickname would be necessary. Oscar is only two syllables and it trips right off the tongue.

I'm not sure that Oscar Wilde is a great namesake. Yes, he was talented and brilliant, but he also suffered persecution for his homosexuality and died destitute at age 46. Not saying he was a bad guy, at all, just that when I think of him it brings sadness.
