Oliver

What are your thoughts on Oliver? What comes to mind: Oliver Twist, Olives, Olive Oil, Olivier, or nothing?

Oliver and Company, and one guy named Oliver in my chambers class.

Liver.

But it's worse with the name Olivia because the LIV part is more emphasised. I don't really like any name with "liv" in it because it makes me think of liver...

I don't think of anything with Oliver. I like the name a lot.

The name in that family that makes me think of weird names is Olive because well, I don' want to name my kid after an alcoholic adornment.

I love Oliver! Great name.

I really don't like the name. I can't figure out why.

I work with a couple of kids named Oliver and I also have a cousin by that name.

I like it, but brings to mind the skinny blond boy I went to high school with.

Wow, ditto! One of my friends in high school was a tall, scrawny boy with blonde hair.. last name Oliver. That's all I can think of, too

The first thing I think of is the orange cat from Oliver & Co.

I love the name Oliver! I think I'm set on it for my next son actually.

I love the name... I don't think of anything in specific although I know the name from Oliver Twist and Oliver & Co.

I love it! It doesn't bring to mind anything for me :)

The move "Oliver!"

My friend's old cat who was named because of Oliver and Company

Oliver Warbucks? I just rented "Annnie" for my daughter a few months ago..

I like it, but I can't use it.. it was my mom's best friend's dad's name, and she now has a grandson with Oliver as a middle name. I'd feel like I was stealing a family name from them.

I love it.
It's my brother's name and if I ever have a son, I'm going to call him that.

It makes me think of this guy I knew in elementary school. I didn't like him that much. ;)

A better one: Oliver & Company. Love that movie.

Good name. :)

LOL, Liver. I love Oliver and never thought of liver, but now I do!

I still like Oliver.

LOVE IT, but maybe a little too cutesy for me to use myself. i'd use it on a dog or something, though. haha. but if someone told me their baby's name was oliver, i'd definitely "awww!"
