Thoughts on Oliver and Alice for twins?

These are our favourite names that we both love and keep coming back to but I’m SO conscious of how popular they both are! Would this put you off and does it make them boring and overused?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

They are lovely names there is no denying it. I personally wouldn't choose Oliver as it is sooo popular but.. my sister made me think about this the other day because I like Luna but hate how popular it is now, she said if you like a name you like a name! Who cares if other people are called it, its popular for a reason :)

Also confused about PP thinking the name Alice would get bullied?! She wouldn't haha

Alice? Sorry, but Chubby Brown ruined that name for me.

Kids in secondary school will be brutal when she gets there if you call her Alice. Sorry.

It’s a matter of taste, I personally do find them a bit bland BUT if you love them use them. Don’t let popularity put you off as I think when baby is here they will be your Alice/Oliver. It’d bother me far more if a close friend or family member had used the name rather than it just being a popular name x

Pick names you love whether they are popular or not. They will be your Alice and Oliver their namesakes don't matter.

I don't like the name Oliver anyway, but if I did, yes the popularity would put me off.

You'll get sick of all their friends having the same names.

Lovely traditional names

Yes- they are lovely
Yes- they are boring and overused
I'd definitely try to find different names.

Love them.

I love Alice, both sound great together as full names but not Ollie and Alice so much. Plus Oliver (Ollie) is really popular.

What about boys names that are not in top 10 so much, like Thomas, Benjamin or Joseph?
