boy names

[cerabellum.livejournal.com]

When my husband and I were pregnant the last time around, we had two names - depending on what sex the baby was. We had Simon Winston last October. That means that, now that we're pregnant again, we're down a boy name. No names are sticking to my soul like Simon did. What's a good (read: not trendy) name if our next babe is a boy?

OLIVER.
My brother's name. I love it.

But like you said, paired with your name, it might be kind of iffy.

Well, earlier in the week I mentioned Ollie. And I said "He'd be a rad skateboarder then!" (just to try to convince my wanna-be-hipster husband ;)) and he AGREED! So we could name him Oliver and call him Ollie. :) Did your brother go by Ollie or always Oliver? And does he LIKE his name?

Most of the time he'd go by Oliver, but his friends would sometimes call him Oli (spelt O-L-I, for us, anyway) and that would be about... 40% of the time.

He LOVES his name. And basically everyone who meets him goes, "...Oliver? Oh, well, what a wonderful name!"

what's your name, if you don't mind me asking?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't mind at all!
My name's Tamsin, though I usually go by Tam.

Oliver is my brother's name too :) His second name is James so he goes by OJ.

Haha, aww!
My brother's name is Oliver Keith Douglas Fitzgerald. We have very long names, you see, so he can't go by OKD. :)
