How many Olivers in your DC's class, and how old are they?

[Knax]

Just wondering whether to risk a popular name.

I have one - he's never had an Oliver in his class - there are 119 other children in his year and only one other Oliver amongst them. On the few occasions we've come across another Ollie in the park etc. he's been thrilled.

My DS is Oliver. He is 5. There are no others in his year at school (90 across 3 classes).

he's 5 and a half and in year 1 by the way

None. They are 4. In fact, I only know one Oliver, and he doesn't live round here...

Thanks, v helpful! Even though i think it's no 3 in list in national stats, doesn't seem to be too many in most classes. Think I'll go for it.
Keep them coming...

Ds1 is in year 8 and I think there are three across about a hundred pupils. He is one of them. there seem to be more Sams.

None, I do know 3 Olivers who are under 4 though.
DS1 has what MN term a popular name, though I know of only 1 other where we live (and he is 2 years older and hi Mom is a lovely MNer).

none

Neither in either of my dc classes.

Dd is in Year 6
Ds is in Reception

One in Reception, one in nursery. Know about three others as well!

DS2 had one join his class today but I don't think there are any others around. He didn't start calling him Oliver X(whatever his surname is). He is 5 and in Yr R.

DS1 I think has one in his year (not a very nice boy either). He is 8 and in Yr 4.

Nice name though - I might have called DS2 Oliver but DH wasn't so keen.

None at ds1's preschool. Can't think of any older ones round here either.

None in ds' class, he's 5. Just an Olivia. He was 'almost' an Oliver - I love the name.

Only know of two.
One is at secondary school and one is 21.

1. 5 year old in ds' class
2. nephew (5)
3. Nephew's best friend (also 5)
4. Mate's 1 year old son

None in dd's class - she's 5 and none in ds's nursery class , he's 4

1 (out of 3 in school ds 's ), 8

1 in ds1's year (they are 7). 1 at ds2's small pre-school (he is 4).

2 in Ds's playgroup (he is 3.10) and 1 the same age who lives down the road but at a different school. 3 babies under 6 months called Oliver at toddler group.

Two Olivers in my ds's reception class of 21. Three in the nursery of 28. Very populur imo.

My 10 year old Oliver is the only one in the whole (600+ pupils) school.

one in DS1's year (aged 5)
One baby at our baby group (aged 3 months)
