Oliver. Bored of Theo. Hate Theodore.

Ihatefootball86 · 22/12/2019 19:32

Love them both. Would have gone with Theo for my own but it's our local chippy!

Oliver

Not Ollie — too informal for an adult. Name him Oliver and he can choose to be called Ollie by his friends..

Theo

AlpacaGoodnight · 22/12/2019 19:58

Too many Theo's not keen on Oliver but Ollie is ok

Theo

Theo. Oliver is OK but I don't like it being liver with an O at the start.

Grufallosfriends · 22/12/2019 21:26

Neither. Both are so so overused!

JingleBelle27 · 22/12/2019 21:28

Oliver Smile

But don’t try and make the nickname Ollie. Nicknames should just come natural as he grows up.

I have an Oliver, he has become an Ollie.

Mollie3 · 22/12/2019 22:13

I prefer Theo but any choice from these there will be several in his class

DramaAlpaca · 23/12/2019 01:23

Oliver by a long way, it's much stronger than Theo.

StanleyWalkersThirdWife · 23/12/2019 01:23

I like both. Prefer theo 😊

SpeckledyHen · 23/12/2019 14:16

You run the risk of your son being called Feo by people who don’t pronounce ‘Th’ correctly.

Heymummee · 23/12/2019 14:22

My toddler is called Theodore Oliver. Have both!
