Is the name 'Oliver' too popular, or is it a lovely classic name that won't date? Would an Oliver be one of many in his class? Do you know many baby Olivers? Thanks for your thoughts x

It's still massively popular and there are at least 2 in each class in DC's school and lots of babies called it.

It was the most popular boys' name in the uk in 2013, and has been popular for a while before that. Off the top of my head I know 3 Olivers who aren't school age yet (and another four that are older).

It probably depends on your area to an extent, but certainly in london it's a very popular name.

Sorry, way too popular. I know 5-6 of them!

I know absolutely tonnes.

It will definitely date as it is currently very much in fashion, and will inevitably go out of fashion.

It won't date in a Darren kind of way; more of a Mark.

I think it's popularity has mostly passed. I know loads aged 5-10yo, but none aged under 2yo. I think it will date because it had such a surge in popularity and those names always date. It's a nice name though.
