I apologise to start with cause this is my 1st thread. I need help in falling in love with my son's name 'Oliver' again. When i was pregnant, my husband and i couldnt agree on a boys' name and this was the only one we both liked, so we went for it. I have since had feelings of regret for choosing this name.
First of all, I found out afterwards, this name was the most popular that particular year. Although i don't mind using popular names for my children, I hate the thought of having 5 other boys in my son's class with the same name.
Secondly, and most importantly, my little girl is called Molly (shock horror)! I think i have been taking the comments on here to heart regarding similar names for siblings as I've read a lot of people see them as cringe-worthy. i insist on NOT using Olly, but always Oliver so we don't get confused and i really hope teachers and friends will do the same as he gets older. however, i'm starting to regret choosing Oliver (as a bro to Molly).
Please reasure me that this is a good name and if used as Oliver, is fine as a sibling to Molly. I just need some positive vibes from you all, so i can fall in love with this name again. :)
