Initials....

I love the name Oscar for a first name, and would love to use James for the MN, but I'm kind of deterred by the thought of his initials being O.J.....would this stop you?  And I don't really think Oscar James flows....other ideas for a middle name?

No, it wouldn't stop me. If you don't want to call him OJ, then don't. 

I only know one person that goes by initials and they had gone by that since birth. It isn't that likely that he would go by OJ.

Oscar James is a great name.

FWIW, the first thing that comes to mind with OJ is orange juice, before Simpson.

That would not deter me at all.  Not many people are going to know your child's middle name anyway-- aside from you, your hubby and your parents and in laws. 

Oscar is a great name-- and I think it actually sounds really nice with James.

Oscar Thomas

Oscar Charles

Oscar Davis

Oscar Adam

Oscar Matthew

Oscar Hugo

Oscar George

I think Oscar James is cute. Ask yourself how often men even use their intials. I wouldn't worry about it.

This coming from a woman whose daughter's monogram is ALE.

I think both Oscar and James are great names. I thought of orange juice before anything else. Either way, most people go by their first and last name initials or all three so I don't think it would be an issue.

Ha, it actually has deterred me. Oscar (well, Oskar) was our second choice for a boy's name and I steered clear of any and all "J" MNs because I really hated the initial thing.
