Is this the name for us?

[onewktogo]

Baby boy will be born in a few days time, so exciting! We have almost settled on a name but it feels quite daunting picking a name that will stay with him for the rest of our lives.

Our top pick is Oliver (our surname is Grant).

Is this the name for us?! Help me decide please

Gorgeous name!

Love it!

Good name, super popular, did you want other suggestions? Ollie Grant is a good no-nonsense name.

I am open to other suggestions! We are 90% set on this name, whilst it’s super popular we still love it. But struggling to commit!

Oliver is a lovely name :)
Also some ideas:
Owen
Lucas
Grayson
Noah
Mason
Logan
Henry
Finley
Blake
Harry
Theo
Jack
Elliot
Isaac
Benjamin
Asher
Colby

Oliver is lovely, you can't go wrong with it really.
It is quite popular though if that bothers you, there are likely to be more than one Olivers in his class at school!

It’s a nice but immensely popular but if that doesn’t bother you then go for it.

Oliver Grant sounds like the name of a handsome and charismatic man. Possibly a bit of a player. Maybe a pilot. Firm handshake.

😂 exactly what we were going for, although I hope he isn’t a bit of a player.

I’m not too fused about there being more than one Oliver in his class (sorry son). There were 3 of us in my class with the same name and it never done me any harm!

Thanks for the suggestions @SparklesandRainbows, we do still prefer Oliver (which can only be a good sign I suppose!)

@onewktogo absolutely!! I think you have found your name :)x

I put Oliver in with -

Oscar
Felix
Adam
Joseph
Rufus

Good solid names but with something more to them.

Nice!

Oliver Grant nn Ollie Grant is a lovely, strong sounding combination. Traditional but cool. Definitely follow your heart on this one.

Your attitude towards there potentially being another Oliver in his class one day is refreshing in this day and age where most people seem so precious about the possibility of duplication. It never did me any harm either! A name isn't what makes someone 'unique'. So what if we share our name with others? A popular name means the name is generally well liked by many which is surely a good thing?!

Good name OP.

Oliver is nice but ever so popular and boring if I'm being honest - sorry!

A lovely name OP. Agree with PP who said the name makes them think of a handsome and charismatic man. I think it sounds classic but not old fashioned. Go with your gut.

I love the name Oliver! If popularity doesn’t bother you, than go for it! (My son has a top 5 name and it’s never bothered him, me, or anyone else!)

Very nice name. Suitable for all life stages.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your feedback! I knew someone would call it boring as it’s very common, which doesn’t offend me. I’d rather have a boring name which is suitable for all life stages than a name that people say ‘what?’ to whenever they hear it as it’s so unusual!

Lovely name!

I love Oliver.

I know an Oliver Grant - lovely boy, great name. Will he have a middle name too?

I wanted Oliver, husband wanted a different name, so we settled on one which was completely different! X

Oliver Grant sounds lovely.

However, if you want alternatives-
Peter
Michael
Jason
Daniel
Robert
Samuel

Was going to add Richard, but then thoughts of the actor Richard E Grant.

Oliver is lovely
