[quote=Anonymous]I agree I'd go with Osman or Oswald nn Ozzy, or look for actual names that had the same vibe (Milo, Enzo, Otis, Omar, Ollie). One reason I don't love place names for kids is that I think people are much more likely to have strong associations with a place name than with another name. Like I hear Oslo and I immediately think of Norway and snow. I hear Brooklyn and think of the Nets and the bridge. I hear London and think of tea and Big Ben, Paris is the museums and shopping. And so on. I think these are all kind of weird associations to make with a child's name, even when they are positive. Whereas choosing a person name that doesn't have a place association allows me to just associate the name with that kid. And that's true whether it's a very common name like Henry or a less common name like Zen. Either way, I associate the name with the person it's assigned to. That's just not true of a place name.[/quote]
