Jack or Oliver?

[Dyinginsideatthecringe]

Hello,

These are the two names we are down to -

Whatcha think?

Jack

Oliver

Or reevaluate? Haha (please don't say this one )

Jack. Oliver is very wet, it’s the name for a drippy, wimpy, feeble little mummy’s boy right along with Benjamin.

What's wrong with drippy, wimpy, feeble little mummy’s boys? Prefer them over judgemental sexist wankers.

Don't pick Jack. I have a Jack and have decided there are enough now.

I prefer Jack. I prefer the way it sounds, and also I’m not keen on Ollie as a nn.

As far as the common surname goes, ok, chances are he’ll run into other Jack Smith’s (or other common surname), but on the plus side that would give him a degree of anonymity on social media etc which I don’t think is necessarily a bad thing.

And giving him an unusual middle name (such as your maiden name?) would cut out most administrative mix ups.

I prefer Jack.

Jack, hands down.

Oliver but it is SO popular now. My son is an Oliver, I still love the name and it wasn't so popular when I named him or so I thought...in his class at secondary school he is one of four Oliver's! My son is far from drippy or wet!

Both are nice and totally inoffensive. Oliver Jack or Jack Oliver would sound nice.
