Oliver, Rudy or Dylan

[Irisincense]

We have to names our son next week. We can’t chose between Oliver , Rudy and Dylan. Opinions please! 🙂

They're all nice!

I'm sure people will tell you Oliver is too common (most popular boys name however many years in a row etc etc)

But I think that's my favourite of the 3

Dylan unless you love Ollie and Rudy isn't my cup of tea. Rude Rudy.....

When I was pregnant with ds ( 17 in March so born in 2003 ) I had 2 boys names- Oliver and Dylan and we went with Oliver NN Ollie. He really suits his name and often asks for more....

I have a Rudy...so I’m biased!! But Dylan was my second choice, and it only lost out because our surname has Ls and Ys that made Dylan a little tongue twistery

Oliver.

Oh wow you have amazing taste I really love all 3!!!

Rudy.

Refreshingly different. Nicknames like Rude Rudy could occur for any reason tbh

Yeh a name like Rudy isn’t startlingly unusual these days. It’s a bit different but if you’re going to get teased I highly doubt it’d be based on your name (whether it’s Oliver... Rudy... or even Fox or Wolf)

OMG not Rudy - it sounds like a rude-y!

I like Dylan. Oliver is overused.

Rudy isn’t that shocking these days @Lavenderblues - it’s entered the mainstream and has increased from being outside the top 1000 names to being number 271 and is on the increase! There’s a Rudy at my daughters school and a friend of a friend had a Rudi (both boys) x

Rudy is dreadful, the one I know gets teased. Dylan is, dare I say a naughty boy's name round here, so popular as it is I'd go Oliver.

I have a soft spot for Dylan. I'm a bit tired of Oliver and think Rudy carries a risk in that the little boy has to 'carry it off'.
Purely my personal opinion!

Rudy is my favourite. I hate Dylan and I don’t know why. Oliver is common but I do like it... I know 6 Olivers under 5

Impossible to predict who will get teased. There was a girl at my school with surname Dick- no teasing. But Abigail was constantly teased and called “Abi National Bank”

My favourite is Dylan, also like Oliver. Not keen on Rudy

Rudy is awful! And full name Rudolph not any better...

I'd choose Dylan.

Rudy is so teasable as it sounds like Rude-y, someone rude! The opposite of Nicey

Rudy definitely

Oliver is so overused imo, it's a little dull.

Rudy is awful, sorry.

Dylan is quite nice.

In order of preference
1)Oliver
2) Dylan
3) Rudy

But it was a close call between Oliver and Dylan

Great names, all of them. My favourite is Rudy. I know one, grown up, he spells it with an I though. He's really cool, and loves his name.

Either Oliver or Dylan. Please not Rudy unless it's a nickname.

I know an older Rudolph who hates the nickname Rudy so is generally known by his full name.

I love all 3 names

Favourites are Oliver and Rudy. Closely followed by Dylan

My almost 18 yr old is Oliver so I vote for that. It’s a great Name and has a nice nn!
My second choice if yours would be Dylan but I know a Dylan who get called Dyls as a nn and I don’t like that.
