Hi. We had our gorgeous boy yesterday and still not decided on a name. I love Rory but vetoed by hubby. The only names we both like and can have are Henry and Oliver. His sisters name is Emily. Love Oliver but my concern is that it is too popular. Thanks!

Henry gets my vote. Lots of Olivers around atm. Congratulations!

Love both so can't choose. If you forced me to I'd probably say Henry, but it's close.

Shame you can't have Rory as that's my favourite of the three.

Love both but Henry slightly more

Henry! I know they're both very popular but Oliver is EXTREMELY common now.

I love a love Oliver but then I have one so am biased. Not doing much for your concerns regarding popularity am I?! There is one other Oliver in DS's class, doesn't bother him or me in the slightest Smile
