Sibling combo

Would it be strange to have two boys called Oliver and James? I’m thinking of the chef.

Nope, if you hadn’t explained it I would have had no clue why that would be strange.

If James is the older one and you call him Jamie then I wouldn’t, but if they’re the order you’ve written them and you call James James then I would struggle to make the connection

I wouldn't think of it straight away in that order and if James is James. So fine I think.

Thank you. Perhaps overthinking it then

I didn’t make the connection until reading the first reply 😄 if he’ll be/is a Jamie then way more people will make the connection I reckon.

I didn’t notice until you pointed it out. Now I can’t unnotice it, I’m afraid. Either think of something else or don’t mention it

I didn’t know why it would be till you explained. So no it’s not a problem for me

I also didn't make the connection. As long as you don't shorten to Jamie.

It’s fine, and even if it does make people think of the chef, so what?

I agree with BikeRunSki, it wouldn't even matter if it does make people think of Jamie Oliver! But for what it's worth it didn't with me. Lovely names for siblings.

Yeh it took me ages to work out what you were even taking about! I was thinking there must be a pair of chefs called Oliver and James

Don’t give it a second thought.Jamie Oliver will probably have retired in the next few years anyway

Both lovely names
Go for it

I know brothers called these names and it never crossed my mind. Lovely names!
