Oliver

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I've seen this name thrown around quite a bit in this community, but can't actually recall a secular post on the name.

So, what do you guys think?
Is it getting too trendy? Does it remind you of cats?

I've named a character Sophie Oliver; I prefer it as a surname, but no, it doesn't remind me of cats. (Though Oliver is a pretty kickass cat.)

I love it!
But I'm not too fond of Ollie

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Neither am I.
Nor am I fond of 'Liver' (which is what we often called my brother).

I looooove it!!!!

I like it, I think Olly is really cute but I think it is becoming really trendy and would probably never use it. Maybe for a middle name..

Plus there was that really annoying guy named Oliver on the OC. =P

I like it. It does seem to be getting pretty popular, but I'd rather see eight thousand little boys named Oliver than eight thousand little boys named Cooper, or Cannon, or something equally horrible.

Love it. Hate that it's trendy.

I *LOVE* the name Oliver! I'm afraid that it has become just too popular for my tastes.

Oliver and James- what a cute sibset! That's absolutely adorable. I can only imagine their cuteness solely based on their names. :)

Cute sibset!
The Weasley twins are named James and Oliver as well!

My brother is Oliver James :)

Oliver is soooo cute! It's not very popular in my area as I don't seem to recall ever knowing an Oliver!

i met an oliver in the late 90s, an adorable sprite of a boy with TONS of energy and i fell in love with it then. it has shifted on my tops list many times (between oliver and max, they take turns at number one) i know people are saying its trendy, but its more classic to me. and aside from that one little boy, i dont know any olivers, and havent seen olivers in the birth announcements.

It reminds me of Oliver Cromwell. I dislike it.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

As a history geek, I love the fact that it reminds you of Oliver Cromwell.

Its my favorite male name! It was the first name I was ever obsessed with all those years ago...probably since like 4th grade when I met my first Oliver.

I like it Not sure if I'd ever use, but I do like it!
I don't think I've ever met an Oliver. Actually thats a lie, but I've never called him anything except Ollie...

Oliver is the main character in a book I'm writing at the moment. He goes by Olly though!
