Oliver and Annie = Cute sib set.I'm tired of Oliver James... It's probably the most paired middle name with Oliver...What middle name were you thinking for Annie?

Oliver Chase
Oliver Darcy
Oliver Ethan
Oliver Toby

Because Oliver has three syllables, I think a shorter name as a middle name sounds better--either one or two syllables. Oliver Ray and Oliver James come to mind.

I don't really like it exactly, but I *love* the nickname Noll, which is the only thing that's warmed me up to it at all. Oliver doesn't remind me of the obvious 'olives,' but rather it brings to mind a kind of brownish puce sort of color, like oliver ought to be the name of something kind of dogfood-ish. :-/ Don't ask why, but that's how it feels to me. So personally I don't like it, but for its classic appeal and its lack of enormous popularity I can appreciate it and respect people using it. I think Oliver and Annie go together quite well as a sibset; it's kind of sweet and nice, IMO. I think Oliver will go well with any middle name with a classic sort of feel, like:Oliver William
Oliver Thomas
Oliver Charles
Oliver Jeremiah
Oliver Daniel
Oliver Theodore
Oliver Howard
Oliver Lawrence

I think Oliver and Annie sound lovely together. I really adore the name Oliver and it is the name I would give to my first son (when I eventually have kids!)! I have chosen Oliver Eli for my son, do you like that?

Oliver isn't bad. I personally prefer Olivier, but that might be a bit pretentious of me. ;) Annie is nice, but more as a nn for Anne, Annette, etc. Oliver and Annie as a sibset is going a bit strong on the orphan theme in my thinking.Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I feel silly for not realizing the "orphan theme!" Now I'm definitely off the sibset :-)

I like Oliver for someone else's kid. It's a bit too Brit-chic for me personally, but it's a perfectly strong name. And his siblings have the option of calling him Liver. ;) Annie on its own bugs me, though. I've grown to like it as a nickname, but by itself, it's really whiny.Array

'Oliver and Annie' is really cute. It reminds me of Annie, the musical, and Oliver Twist, the musical: two of my favorite movies when I was a kid. :)-- Sarah
