"I'm an Omar. Though it's a beautiful name, I may have some funny moments when people can't get it right with the Arabic pronunciation of the letter O, which is not there in English. the English O is sweet though, made me love it even more." Mar. 8, 2021: 
"This is my name! I was named after the late actor Omar Sharif." Oct. 27, 2017:
"I only know one guy named Omar, who was a childhood friend of mine. His parents are from different continents but he liked to listen to tejano music. His Dad wasn't even from the Middle East so I don't know what inspired him to pick the name. His name always stuck out when I would say "my buddy Omar." He's a good guy, even though he's a bit of a social misfit. The name suits him." Apr. 28, 2016:

"MY name is Omar, its of arabic origin, and I think its one of those short names that depend on the way your last name sounds for it to sound nice or not. Omer is a wrong way to spell it." Jan. 21, 2008:
"I work in global markets and travel extensively to different countries. If my son Omar, travels he won't have to spell his name! Everybody knows how to write it!

"I am in rehearsal to play Judge Omar Gaffney in a revival of "Harvey." The original production opened in 1944, and the first actor to play Judge Gaffney was 82. The only prominent American Omar that I know from that period is General Omar Bradley, who was named after a local newspaper editor in Missouri. Edward Fitzgerald's translation of "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" was published in 1859, and I conjecture that some people who were fond of those poems named their sons after the poet." May. 23, 2019:

"i love this name! its such a cute name and it means first born" Jun. 19, 2005:
