Re: "Celeb" BA - Ozwin Fay
Apparently it is the first of two surnames / the middle name, of a character whose personal name is Clara on Doctor Who. I'm sure the actress who plays her is young and 'attractive' and 'cute' in the way that Who 'companions' traditionally are ... otherwise the name would not seem appealing to people as a gal name. (of course she is, I checked)Oswin reminds me of grandpa names, Edwin, Irwin, Oswald. I don't think it's very appealing as a gal name.
Ozwin reminds me of Wizard of Oz. I can't think of a reason to spell it Ozwin that isn't a little dumb...? But anyway, it's kind of a cool sounding name. And it's unconventional enough all-around, that an unusual usage and spelling is not as much an irritant as it could be.
I think they did well with the combo with Fay (even though I hate that name).4/10- mirfak
