Nobody really knows how it gained its name the Oscar. I'm guessing they probably named it after somebody. Who?, your guess is as good as mine

It was only a joke, i thought you would of realised that straight away.
but to be honest, its a good question, where did the name oscar come from?
i suppose the name 'O' is a good name for them because 90% of them have that O on the tail. has anyone else noticed this?
both of mine have it.

Don't worry, I didn't take you seriously. I thought it would have been rude to call you a liar:laugh:

I think the nickname "River dog" is relatively new. People have been keeping Oscars since the 60s, probably even before.
