I bet there are a lot of sons called Oscar with boxing fans as dads. It's a nice name mind. I think David Haye called his son Cassius Haye?

Henry Wharton has an Oscar (and a Sonny), won his debut a couple of weeks ago.

I named my boy Clayton, knowing he would be called Clay for short when hes at school.
The greatest fighter (arguably) to grace this planet. Cassius Clay aka Muhammed Ali.

Only had girls so far so resorted to naming the cat Felix Trinidad and the guinea pig ODLH!
Will be aiming for Sonny if my seed produces a boy.
