Really like both names (would christen as Charles but call Charlie). Any opinions welcome as we really can't decide!

I think Charlie is more popular than Oliver so would be more of them about when your Ds is at school etc.

I personally prefer Oliver as well (DS1 is called it! )

both sorry thats no help at all.

I have an oliver - an ollie. We were convinced that there weren't any others in the entire world when we named him. Its popular, but I reckon that's because its a good name. Give him a wacky middle name.

Oliver Charles why not? Oliver somewhat less common & they go well together.

abidabidoo · 18/03/2008 15:04

I prefer Oliver - but a few round here...

Jojay · 18/03/2008 15:07

Charlie - not so keen on Ollie, which Oliver may well get shortened to.

Pinkchampagne · 18/03/2008 15:53
