“Oliver and Owen have really dominated in the past generation. But we’re seeing more Obadiahs, which is a biblical name," Laura Wattenberg, creator of Namerology, tells TODAY.com.
The names Ozzy and Otto are also picking up steam, according to Wattenberg. Oslo, as in the capitol of Norway, is is another “O” name that is gaining in popularity.
“Geographic names, like Oslo or Cairo, are trendy right now,” Wattenberg explains.
