Oliver or Seth?

[Bluesand1]

Any thoughts??

Would you be happy if they called him olly as a nick name?

Oliver

Husband loves Olly I prefer Oliver and would call him that but know he would get Olly

Haven't met a young Seth in a while, but Oliver is quite common in primary school at the moment, if you worry about two in a class.

I love the name Oliver but I know 5 babies called that. They've all been shortened to Olly/Ollie. I would choose Seth as it's a nice name e and much less popular

My nephew is Seth and I think it's a great name. Oliver is too popular IMO.

Seth by far.

Oliver is dull as dishwater.

Oliver. A classic name that never dates.

Seth is untrustworthy and sly.

We have also had Sebastian and William on the list

Oliver has been the number 1 boy name in the uk 2015, so is extremely popular.

Seth is a great name. Oliver is perfectly nice, but too heavily-used at the moment.

Ah well, now I'd say Sebastian

Seth.

I've got one. It's uncommon without being unusual.

Sebastian and William are very popular around here, too. Depends how you feel about popularity. Seth is the only one of your list that's quite rare.

I'd have hated being Simon 1 Simon 2 Simon 3 or Sarah F Sarah B Sarah M in school. Or worse, fat Jane, thin Jane, old John, young John. I know people who quite liked being one of the 3 Daniels in class and found it funny though.

I have a Seth. He is the only one on his secondary school and one of two in his primary (the other one was a lot younger). Oliver is a lovely name but there are loads of them. Seth does not have many piss taking opportunities either...and believe me boys that age are really creative!

Seth - it's more interesting

Sebastian.

Nn Seth!

Oliver by a very, very long way. I really dislike Seth.

Seth, Olivier is so massively over popular he'll end up one of 2-3 in a class

Seth, there are small Olivers all over the place.

Oliver, although it's really too popular for me, but Seth is a dreadful name.
William is great (also v popular), Sebastian ok.

To me Seth is a noise, not a name. Settttttthhhhhh.
Prefer Oliver. Sound cheerful.

I like Seth, Sebastian is nice too.

Yes, Oliver or Seth. You can't go wrong.

Seth. It's a lovely name. I find it a lot less dull than Oliver
