Oliver, because I've just always liked the sound of it. It doesn't hurt that I prefer the meaning, and it feels brighter than
Henry though not necessarily
Jack.
Henry's respectable but feels cliche to me in a stuffy-monotonous way.
I don't mind the sound of
Jack, but it annoys me stylistically because of Stonewall
Jackson and lumberjacks. It screams look how ordinary and traditional and strong I am...and my reaction's like, why are you screaming;
Joe is quieter,
John is steadier, and
Jay is more fun to be around. Also it feels vaguely 90s-00s fangirlish (
Jack Dawson,
Jack Sparrow).
