Or Ollie. What do we think? I don't like Oliver.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

I really like it (and also dont like Oliver).

I know an adult Oliver who insists on being called Olly. If you really like it, then go for it!

I'm not keen on Olly, it sounds so weak and almost comical as a name, sorry. I prefer stronger more substantial names I guess.

I think it’s lovely & in their generation Olly / Ollie will be fine amongst all the Harry’s Louie’s Archie’s Freddie’s etc.

Congratulations OP

I know plenty of adult Ollys she's not calling him snuggles...
Not to my taste op but perfectly ok name for any age

A boy at my DCs school had a "cute" name. He changed it to a grown up version by deed poll, or whatever it's called, the day after his 18th birthday.

Cute names are fine on small children. Will it suit a solicitor, a policeman, a rugby player, an astronaut or a plumber though?

I personally dislike nicknames as the given name . Baby Olly will be a grown man one day and would probably like the option to be Oliver

Do grown men really want cute names?

Cute. I like it.
Like Oliver too.

Nice name.

Congratulations.
