What do you think of the name Oliver?

Today is my due date and I have still not picked out a name. I will not for sure decide on a name until he is born but I would like to think more about names. I really like names that end in er. I was thinking about names and Oliver popped into my head. What do you think of the name Oliver when you first here it? Is it a weird name to name your baby now or is it still popular? What middle names would go good with it? Opinions are much appreciated.

    I get complimented daily on his name. People always say it's unique and uncommon while still being classy and normal. I adore the name and I have never once wished I'd named my son something else. It's a wonderful name, Ollie is a cute nickname during childhood and Oliver goes very nicely into adulthood. I highly recommend it!

    Congratulations and good luck!!

    I like it, it's a handsome, historic name that is cute for a little boy but also dignified and smart sounding for a grown man. I definitely don't think it's too weird, it's actually one of the most popular baby boy names right now in Great Britain, less popular in the U.S. but far from unheard of.

    Oliver William

    Oliver Thomas

    Oliver Henry

    Oliver Jude

    Oliver Malcolm

    Oliver Gabriel

    Oliver Conrad

    Oliver Dominic

    Oliver Frederick

    Oliver Lachlan

    I love the name!!! It's so classic and unique and adorable. I think it is experiencing a surge in popularity right now, so you might want to keep that in mind if it's something you care about. It's definitely not weird to name your baby though! It's an amazing name. Oliver Thomas? Oliver Nicholas? Oliver Patrick? Pretty much anything works! Good luck and congratulations! :)

    I actually asked a question similar to this a few days ago. So far my favorite middle names are Eli, Tate, and Liam. I'm still trying to decide which to go with. The name Oliver makes me imagine a very sweet, curious little boy.

    I really like Oliver. As for a middle name I like to go with something meaningful (relative, friend, etc) not just a filler name

  • 9 years ago

    It is becoming more and more popular actually and if you give your son that name he might not be the only one in his class with it.

    I would suggest:

    Kyler

    Tyler

    Skyler

    Cooper

    Tanner

    Carter

    Xander

    Alexander

    Christopher

    Colter

    Denver

    Parker

    River

    Roger

    Spencer

    Tayler

    Source(s): I have a very popular name and it got very annoying to hear my name throughout school and think someone was talking to me and then it turns out that they weren't.

    Yes that is an amazing name.

    Oliver Jude. I think that's precious.
