Will be Robert or Oliver, but known by Robbie or Ollie.

I much prefer the full versions of both tbh

Ollie at a push though!

Ollie

Pluto30 · 21/10/2016 21:35

Robert.

But I prefer the nickname Ollie.

Chinlo · 21/10/2016 21:54

Prefer Robert to Oliver but prefer Ollie to Robbie.

FuckThatToOneSide · 21/10/2016 22:28

Far prefer Robbie (and Robert).

Loyly · 21/10/2016 22:29

Robbie

Vixxfacee · 21/10/2016 22:30

Oliver

Sophronia · 21/10/2016 22:36

Definitely Robert

mymilkshakes00 · 21/10/2016 22:37

Ollie.

I have an Oliver - only ever called that when bad - he's an Ollie really (on school register as Ollie).

He loves the name (he's a teenager) - I love it also. Never regretted it!

Obv I'm biased but it would have to be Ollie.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/10/2016 08:22

Robert. Much less popular.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/10/2016 08:22

Really like Robbie too.

BertrandRussell · 22/10/2016 08:26

Robert.

Rob is nice when he gets too old for Robbie, and there's no grown up shortening for Oliver. And there are a lot of Olivers about and not many Roberts.

RW is 40+ years older than the ops Robbie. It's irrelevant.

SorenaJ · 22/10/2016 08:39

Robbie/Robert

It won't be the first thing this Robbies school friends and then work colleagues will think of. Doubt they will even have heard of him.

crookedhooker · 22/10/2016 08:48

I have a Robert. Can be shortened and pet named but still a good solid name for when older. He calls himself Bobs at the moment though.

BadToTheBone · 22/10/2016 08:48

Robert/ Robbie by a long way.

I also think the RW link is irrelevant, as his peers won't make that association, just old people, lol (and by that, I mean people over 25! lol)

user1476656305 · 22/10/2016 08:53

Robert/Robbie/Rob

Ollie does sound wet in comparison tbh.

Cocochoco · 22/10/2016 08:54

I love Robert/Robbie.
