Has a person you've known or a fictional character ever destroyed a name for you?

For instance, I think I would really love the names Forest and Ernest if I didn't immediately think of Gump and Scared Stupid.

I have a younger relative named Forrest.. he would have been around 10 or so when the movie came out! wonder how that worked out for him (I only met him once at a wedding back in '92 and haven't seen him since. was the first time I ever heard the name.)


anyway.. I was totally gonna post this same question :) I <3 Oscar right now and am pregnant with, you know, something like a 50% chance of having a boy. if anyone were to call my kid "Oscar the Grouch" I would have to punch them. even if it was my MIL (the most likely, my husband thinks).

My father's name is Oscar. He never was called that. So maybe that will help you and your husband decide.

I adore the name Oscar!

As a fan of The Office, I just think of Oscar the accountant. Never "the grouch"! I say go for it.
