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?

I lived with an Oliver who ended up being a somewhat undesirable roommate, so I am a little biased, but I think Oliver is one of those names that is darling on boys under ten and pretentious on anyone older (unless they are over sixty). Nickname "Ollie" is also questionable. Still, if you really love this name, it's a decent one and a traditional one, so I can't say no. :)
