How many Olivers do you know?

[JohnsonMichaels]

Thanks!

I've thought of a dozen straight off - probably more if I think some more - there are multiple in each of my DS's years at school.

My ds! He's nearly 15 :)

I know 3 others, all younger.

My ds likes to be called Ollie mostly, only teachers and grandparents tend to call him Oliver, I use both.

Dp has never called him Ollie.

None. I work in a large organisation, went to a huge secondary & haven't come across any.... yet. DC1 doesn't have any friends/classmates called Oliver either.

We're North East so maybe not as popular up here? I adore the name & it was top of the list for DC2 but probably won't use it because of its apparent popularity (we also have a common surname).

Just one!

A lovely name. Popular for that exact reason!!

Three I think. Two age 16 and one 13.

Quite a few! From babies to 30s.

I don't know any, but my last name is Oliver. Does that count?

2 in their 30s
4 under 2s

There are 4 just in DDs class. They are all known by their first and last names.

In total I think I know about 3bn.

I only know two young Olivers. But that's balanced out by my personally having met every single Sophie who's been born in the past decade.

one in 70s
one in 40s
one early 30s
son 13, none other in his year group at school but one other pal same age
2 aged 10 in younger kids' class
1 aged 7
no babies

We are up North. Where all the Jacks and Thomas s are (6 in DDs class at school)

DS1 is Oliver, we changed it up and put it as Oliver-James as we know how popular it is.

Two young children (about 3yo). One adult (my amazing former hairdresser). I think that's it. I hear it quite a lot at parks and doctors waiting room etc, but nowhere near as much as I hear Noah.

Lots and lots!!

Wasn’t it THE top boys name for years?!

Only 1 in the whole school.

Three: 7yo, 4yo, 1yo

My adult DS (nearly 40) is one. Then I know maybe 10 in their 30s, 10 in their 20s, a few teenagers (I'm a bit out of touch with this age group though so more know of them) and a three year old and a newborn.

1

My DS! There was one other in his year group in secondary school, no other in primary. He's 25 and adorable

I know 3 adults with the name
3 babies as children of my Facebook friends
3 in my daughter's class

1 and he's 31. I'm in Scotland if it makes any difference.

Loads, 3 in each of dc years, another couple who went to different schools. That's just two years of school. Dh boss is an Oliver there are a couple at my work

A huge amount ranging from 6 months to 16 years.

Judging by all of the young Oliver’s I’ve met while my own DCs have been at school/groups etc., I’d say it’s by far the most popular boys name in our area.

Which, to me, is odd because I can’t stand the name (see also Olivia).

My ds goes to nursery with two Olivers. One is known by his full name and the other by a nickname that sounds nothing like Oliver.

Before he started preschool this month I didn't know any.

Enough that we have to specify which one we're talking about.

Also most abbreviate to Ollie themselves by choice when at school, I've noticed.
