Oliver. Anything but Noah, it's dreadful.

Oliver

AmyInTheBoonies · 04/04/2016 16:39

Noah, a kind sounding, solid name.

TwoLittleBlooms · 04/04/2016 17:12

I definitely prefer Noah, I know of less Noahs as well - no quite a few Olivers (although it is still a nice name!)

Oliver

Both really popular names round here. Would probably say Noah as only know 2 of those!

I actually don't know any Noahs or Olivers. DS1 has an Oliver in his class, but that's about it!

Probably Noah.

MLGs · 04/04/2016 18:33

Both popular in our area, but Oliver overwhelmingly so.

Noah! But both names too popular for me.

iemma321q · 04/04/2016 21:14

Noah. Oliver is frequently shortened to olly which I'm not keen on.

Oliver Smile

WanderingTrolley1 · 04/04/2016 21:22

Oliver.

Nospringflower · 04/04/2016 21:52

Both names really popular but Noah is more popular right now so for that reason I'd go for Oliver. Not really that keen on either although I did like Noah when it was less popular.

Noah. Oliver is that boy who asks for more.

Floggingmolly · 04/04/2016 22:27

Oliver.

applecatchers36 · 04/04/2016 22:30

Oliver by a mile, Noah seems very faddy and of the moment, think it will date.

BertrandRussell · 04/04/2016 22:34

I just asked DS who's 15. He said Noah because Oliver is trendy.

ILikeUranus · 04/04/2016 22:38

Oliver. Both nice though.
