Quite a few

euanthesheepiloveyou · 22/09/2017 22:38

Two in secondary school, 4 in primary school, 2 toddlers & 1 baby. No adults!

MissAlabamaWhitman · 22/09/2017 22:39

Hundreds, at a conservative estimate..

GentlyGentlyOhDear · 22/09/2017 22:40

I have one, and have met a couple at baby groups. None in my daughter's nursery or school classes though.

MrsHathaway · 22/09/2017 22:42

Eight hundred million

Mine is one of three in his class, and one of two in his 5-a-side football team. It's hugely popular.

I know 4 people who have given birth within the last 2 months. 3 of them boys, all 3 named Oliver!

rachrach2 · 22/09/2017 23:09

I know three who are three and under and three in their thirties. Love the name Oliver.

strawberrypenguin · 22/09/2017 23:15

There are 2 in my 16mo Nursery age group.

Thingvellir · 22/09/2017 23:34

4 in DD's Y5 class, two in DS's Y2 class, a few more amongst friends kids and clubs, a few grown up ones through work.... maybe about 20-25...?

It's a lovely name but definitely prolific

Jooni · 23/09/2017 07:32

Loads. It's been the top boys' name for a good few years now. It is lovely though.

Grimmfebruary · 23/09/2017 07:42
  1. Both Ollie, one 30, one 2.
Judashascomeintosomemoney · 23/09/2017 07:44

There were 7 in DDs reception class which was 10 years ago.

Blueredballoon · 23/09/2017 07:46
  1. Both about 4. And I go to loads of toddler groups so I'm always surprised it's not more.
Acidophilus · 23/09/2017 07:48

In my son's nursery there are three Olivers and two Olivia's.

PetalMettle · 23/09/2017 07:49

None! I don't think there's any at ds nursery

EmmyInTheSticks · 23/09/2017 07:49

I know about 10 Olivers and Olivias. Nice names, but of course not very unique.

LoveB · 23/09/2017 07:51

1 who's 30
1 who's 13
1 who's 3 months

It's a gorgeous name

WhirlwindHugs · 23/09/2017 07:51

Not that many when you think how long it's been popular. Maybe 10? None are in the same class.

TheFairyCaravan · 23/09/2017 07:58

One who is almost 21 and a 13 yo.

TheFairyCaravan · 23/09/2017 07:59

Oops forgot about the 23yo.

BikeRunSki · 23/09/2017 08:02

6 amongst DS's peers (about 9 years old)
2 amongst DD's (age 5-6)
2 adults (about 40)

Frazzled2207 · 23/09/2017 08:03

Loads, at all ages.
Isn't it officially the UK's most popular name?

I really like it though dislike Ollie/Olly

BikeRunSki · 23/09/2017 08:03

Actually, 3 adults about 40

Nanasueathome · 23/09/2017 08:06
