Are there any nicknames for Oliver, other than Ollie?!

My Oliver is now 25 and I still call him Boo when it’s just him and me as in Ollie Bollie Boo. I love Ollie though. X

That’s very cute!

The Oliver I know best is called Chops. No idea why.

Trying to impose anything other than Ollie is going to look very manufactured.

Liv? It’s a nickname for Olivia so I don’t see why it should be be for Oliver.

or Oller?

My friends brother Oliver has been known as Rev ever since he figured out that Oliver backwards is Revilo when he was 5!

Ol?

My Oliver gets Oblob 🤷‍♀️

I know an Oz, short for Oliver.

Our Oliver is Ollie or Oliver but he always gets everything else in between such as Ols, Poll, Dolly, Olivander, Oliflower, Olive, Ollie bean, Ollie bobbins, Ollie bobberts, Ollie Bee the list is endless but useless all the same. Can't actually think of a 'proper' nickname apart from Ollie though. Maybe Ols?

sarhumph1 · 25/07/2025 14:28

We have an Oliver and to us he is just Oliver. To others he is Ols, Ollie and O. He prefers to be Oliver though 😀

Marianwallace · 25/07/2025 14:25

I know an Oz and an Arg.

Ol or ollie wollie

Apparently Olivers used to be called Noll, just as Eleanors were called Nell and Edwards called Ned. You could do Noll or Nolly?

I have an Oliver and we have never called him a nickname relating to Oliver. He got called a bunch of ‘cute’ nicknames as a baby/toddler though.

When my dd was in 6th form there were 5 Olivers. They were Oliver, Ols,Ollie, OllieOllie and OllieOllieOllie. Pretty sure this won’t help….🤣

Olls
O
Olive
Liver

but seriously, nicknames evolve naturally over time. As far as diminutives go, no, not much choice from Oliver really!
