The only one I can think of right now is Oswald, which I've just picked as my favourite O name for a male. And the one I knew was a brilliant classical scholar, able to compose original poems in Latin and ancient Greek and get the scansion correct every time. He got a scholarship to what turned out to be quite the wrong university, where he had no fun and no guidance, and got bored and became a stereotypical student - lots of pot and booze, and no work at all except for one piece that ended up in the university library. And he just spiralled downwards, kept drinking and smoking and developed schizophrenia, had strings of hopeless love affairs, and finally killed himself in a truly horrible way. And though I can remember him with love and laughter - he had been a delightful friend - I can't forget the rest of the story. And I'd never use his name. Ever.
