Boy's name to go with Olivia

[katiepotatie]

We have a short list for a girl, I am goosed if this baby due in 5 weeks is a boy though. Any suggestions?

Well, all I can say is, we have an Olivia, with a brother called Alexander. Other names for him were Sebastian, Dominic and Montgomery (Monty, obviously). Good luck in 5 weeks whatever name you choose.

I'm lost by your thread, katie!

Why must a boy's name go with Olivia? Your baby will either be a boy or a girl. If it's a girl, she'll be Olivia.

If it's a boy, he'll be something else. Why must it go with Olivia?

Oh! I kind of get it. You already have a child called Olivia.

I still don't get why a boy's name has to 'go' with it, though.

.... because a lot of people don't want a jarring mismatch between their dcs names....

tarquin and sharon... mismatch

sharon and darren.... "go together"

tarquin and cassandra... "go together"

.... do you see??

Oscar. Orlando even better.

esp if you're planning a chi-chi children's clothing shop/web-site

ds is oscar btw so ffs don't diss it or else.

No- they have a name for a girl - ie, Olivia. They are looking for a boys' name (in case it is a boy!) that sort of matches, 'cos that's what they want. Geddit?

erm, yup, goddit.

oooh, OBM - I was going to say Oscar too! It just jumps out as going with Olivia.

Henry is pretty good as well.
or Jeremy.

you lot confuse me...I read it that op possoibly already has an Olivia and has a girl short list but no idea of boys name...might of course be wrong

well...I think Olivia is a name almost anything would work with...well...anything but Oliver, I suppose

How about
Noah
Jacob
Aaron
Eric
Finlay
Alexander
Ben
Ryan
James
Lucas
Christopher
Reece/Rhys

That's what I thought too FLRAL.

...I mean, otherwise it wouldn't really make sesne why the name has to "go" would it? Just as Desi said in her pfirst post, before she came to the same conclusion

It makes sense if they are planning 2x children and want going-together names IYKWIM? This does presuppose one of each, which doesn't always happen. Of course, if this is not what the OP meant, I am blown out of the water!

It makes sense if she already has a DD called Olivia too!

Oui, thumbwitch.

Toby

most names 'go with' Olivia actually....

there is a little girl in DS's nursery class named Olivia. her baby brother is Daniel - i think those names go really well together.
