About a thousand.

None but I'm in Scotland and it doesn't seem to be as popular here

MikeUniformMike · 02/10/2017 20:34

several, of different age groups.
Like Harry or Jack, just know too many

My DH is Oliver - good name Grin

Four in my son’s Y6 class. Another 3 from friends. Quite a popular name these days!!

DS is Oliver, he’s the only one in his nursery class, quite surprisingly!

In NI so not sure if it’s just not as common here, I suspect it is though.

I have one - and have not met one other at the baby groups yet.

I have a lovely 16 year old Oliver and I know one adult Oliver and my youngest has one Oliver in her class (aged 10) I love the name and doesn't bother me or my son how popular it is.

Loads. I've got one. He's 19. In his very tiny class when he was at school- about 10 in the class- there were 4 Olivers so they we'd all ollie g, Ollie j, Ollie h and Ollie m. I hadn't heard any Olivers when we named him 19 years ago!!

A lot. There are 12 boys at ds's preschool and 5 are called Oliver. It is a lovely name but super popular here (Somerset).

Perfectly1mperfect · 03/10/2017 13:40

Only 2 even though it's meant to be popular.

I think it must be more popular in certain areas.

chipscheeseandgravy · 03/10/2017 14:17

Loved that name, but dp changed his mind for ds Angry.
I know X2 adult, X1 6 yr old X1 Baby It’s normally in the top 10/20 for boys names, so in theory I should know more.
It doesn’t seem massively popular in our area, so could have got away with calling ds it Envy

Marcipex · 03/10/2017 14:47

Many, many.

5 aged between 15 years and 4 months
