babynames | (no subject)

I don't remember how it came up, but last week I was talking to my boyfriend's mom and she mentioned the name Oliver. Ever since then I have been in love with it! Just in love. I mentioned it to Wes a few days ago and his first reaction was "You aren't pregnant again are you?" and when I told him no he said "Good. Then no. Ew. I hate it." I asked why and he didn't know. However, I can usually talk him into liking a name. Not that I am planning on any more children anytime soon.

What do you all think of it? And what about middle names for it?

It's a name I definitely think of as a chart climber. Use it now, and you're still probably a trend-setter. People who hate it today will have it on their own lists in a couple years.

I've only known one Oliver and it was a great name for him. He was a 20 something "dude" who got around by skateboard. A really good looking and sweet guy. His slightly-unusual British sounding name just made him all the more attractive. And Ollie is a great nickname for a skater too.

I like it, but don't love it. It's on my long list but isn't something I'd seriously consider for my own.
