HelpRe: Jack, Henry, or Oliver
in reply to a message by Martha
Probably Oliver. There's things I don't like about it but if I had to use one of these on an actual kid that's what I'd pick. It kind of just makes me think of olives and Oliver Twist but that's not terrible. It's also pretty friendly. Jack could be friendlier, but Oliver is smarter.
I hate Henry, it just sounds like the name of a terrible person to me. Most of its nicknames are even worse, except Harry but I think I only like/tolerate Harry because I got used to seeing it while reading Harry Potter.
Jack isn't bad, and John "Jack" is kind of a cool throwback (at least where I live it would be somewhat unexpected), but it doesn't stand out in any way and it's sort of a filler name, like the John Doe of anecdotes.
