1 Wdyto Orson?

I know it fits the trendy -en sound ending but it isn't one you hear often.

2 Do you think it would work on a small boy and age well?

3 What combos would be good?

I'm sorry, but I really hate it. Sounds like 'osoran', which is overbearing, difficult in Croatian.

I really like the name Orson but I am related to a family with that last name (though it's spelled differently), so I could never use it as a first name.

I think it would work on a boy and also age well.

MN Suggestions:
Orson Bradley
Orson Darius
Orson Dante
Orson Ezekiel
Orson Gabriel
Orson Kendrick
Orson Malachi
Orson Micah
Orson Phillip
Orson Shadrach
Orson Viggo

It is not my style. But it is not a horrible name. I think it would be fine to use for a little boy. I do think it would age well.

1. Orson is one of the few surnames I can tolerate. It just sounds so smart having been held by Orson Welles. :) I'm so excited that someone wants to use it again.

2. You MAY want to have a nickname for him as a small child, but it'll definitely age well as he grows older.

3. I'm not very good at these, but I'll try:
Orson Walter
Orson Leopold
Orson John
Orson David
Orson Charles
Orson Levi
Orson Gene
