Ozias
I just discovered this name today while I was doing some research on the painting of the famous racehorse, Whistlejacket: Ozias Humphry was a fellow artist and friend of George Stubbs, who painted the horse.What do you think of Ozias? I think it's charming, I love seeing these strange old Biblical names on British gents. It gives me Ebenezer Scrooge vibes (but in a good way).

It's Ok. I immediately think of Ozymandias:“And on the pedestal these words appear:

'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains.
Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ozymandias

I really like it. Ozias is the best full name for the nickname Oz IMO.
