Óscar has hardly any variants in other languages and is a recognizable name throughout the world. Great personalities have taken the name of your son throughout history, as kings, architects and musicians.

And if we talk about movies, we can not avoid relating the name of your child to the great prizes of American cinema. The Oscar gala, which annually captures international attention, is named after a curious family anecdote. The librarian of the Academy that awards the prizes, the first time she saw the statuette commented that she had a great resemblance to her uncle Oscar, and that's how she was baptized.
