Names like Oliver...

[anthonywiggleisthebest]

We have an Oliver.

Thinking of names for hypothetical DS2. Cannot think of a name that we like as much as Oliver!!

My list so far:

Isaac

DH's list so far:

Seth
Sebastian

What do you think, oh mighty ones..? Ideally need ideas that you think are a similar feel to Oliver. I feel like there is one out there that I am missing! Like old-fashioned proper names, that have nice nicknames! Thanks lots!

Does your Edward dislike extend to other Ed- names like Edmund and Edwin? Oliver and Edmund sounds quite nice to me, for example.

Other possibles:

Dominic
Nicholas

More old fashioned?

Albert, Stanley, Bertram, Douglas, Henry, Anthony, Cyril, Daniel, Guy....

Edmund - good one!

Thanks Allie but unfortunately it does. I think it's Eddie I don't like. Maybe something to do with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation "the shi**er's full"?! :)

Not so keen on Dom, but I really like Nicholas!! Just not as much as Oliver...

Stephen
Daniel
Robin
Nathan
Christopher
Quentin

Albert is my Grandad :)
Anthony is my Dad :)
Not keen on the others - bad associations! Well I like Henry, except for the 'r' sound!

The Olivers I know have brothers called Archie, Simon, Oscar and Orlando if that helps?

Just realised I actually know three Oliver/Simon combos...

Humphrey, Theseus, Peregrine, Nathaniel, Hubert, Colin, Martin, Stefan, Patrick, Stuart, Simon, Jacob, Reuben ....

ROBERT!! There ... perfect! No?

Stephen - family again!
Robin and Christopher - the 'r' sound - 'though I do like them!
Not keen on Daniel or Nathan
Quentin reminds me of Roald Dahl's illustrator, Blake! Now I like Blake - but DH said no!

Bugger - no 'rs'

Liam, Claude, Zack
Is there a prize btw?

Noooo, unfortunately it's not out there yet...

at candle

I have an Oliver and a Daniel.

Hmm, I love Isaac, but not so much shortened to Zack.
Liam - know one so no
Claude - nope - just doesn't do it for me. Although I love Claudia for a girlie

Errr... I'll consider a prize

John, Arthur, Xavier....

Theo? Angus? Inigo? Siegfried? Stanley? Victor? Wilfred? Pelham? Aidan? Daniel? Digby? Ethan? Joel? Tobias? Noah?

I think sebastian goes well with oliver. I decided against Isaac as i didnt like it shortened

also like daniel with oliver

I like Wilfred, Joel, Theo and Noah. Theo and Noah don't go with surname. Joel, we know one. Wilfred - DH vetoed. How do you pronounce Inigo and Pelham and what are their meanings...?

Archibald - Archie!
Gerard
Theobald - Theo
Richard - Rick
Grahame
Percy
Julian

'Isaac' in my DSs clas is called 'I's' pronounced 'eyes' by all the other kids

Wilf is fantastic!! Might get pg just so I can use it

chickchick I too like Sebastian. But does it overpower Oliver do you think..?

Leopold - Leo
This is my final answer - did I win?
Night night all - off to bed
