Ollie, Olly or Oli?

[boysname]

Thinking of naming our son Oliver but as tedious as it sounds my partner and I can't decide how to shorten his name.
I wanted the name Ollie but didn't think a nickname should be his real name 'on paper' and partner agrees, hence the name Oliver.

So how would you spell it - Ollie, Olly or Oli?

@Destroyedpeople nice...

@Destroyedpeople

I mean Oliver is a perfectly nice name of course. It's just the shortening of it that sounds so.....moist.

What does that even mean?!

Just call him Oliver and then see what comes naturally.

My Oliver calls himself Olly, But he’s Ollie to some, oli to his aunty.... people will just spell it however they want. We have always called him Ollypop which has turned into poppa 😂 get some strange looks when it sounds like I’m calling my 10 year old son papa in public

Oli if you have to shorten it. Ollie looks girly, like Teddie or Andie.

Why shorten at all?

I know an Olivia nicknames Ollie.

@lavenderblues why not? I have a Liam as well and call him Lee. Just what comes naturally

Olly or Ollie. Oli to me looks like oil
