About Oslo
Oslo, the capital city of Norway, makes for an intriguing new place name, especially with its bookended O's, as in Otto and leads to cool nickname Ozzie. One Berry has already used it and we predict others will follow; in fact, stats suggest it is used eight times more often than it was a decade ago.
Pronounced AHZ-lo.
As of October 2026, Oslo ranked #1969 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1767 in 2022.
