Controversial... but really...

I work in a job where I meet lots of little kids and there are just so, so many. Half my friends are also married to or dating Ollies so it's not even limited to one generation. Does it being the top name for so long really not put people off?

I am aware that Oliver was recently knocked off the top spot, but still.

I'm also aware that this is going to be unpopular because approximately 50% of you probably have one yourself 😂

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I know exactly two Olivias

I've yet to meet an Oliver, of any age, and the two Olivias I know are in their 40s.

They are both very nice names. Easy to spell and pronounce. The sounds are nice. They work with most surnames. No bad associations.

I suspect that most people give their child the name because they love it and are hoping that this is the year that it becomes less popular.

I know a family with twins called Oliver and Olivia 😳

I didn’t use Oliver for this reason and regret it!

I do 🤷‍♀️. He’s 13 and Oli suits him down to the ground. He’s never actually called Oliver though.
