It's been right up the top of my favorite names for years and years now despite how popular it is in my home country. I find
Oliver handsome and friendly sounding. I love the nickname
Ollie. I think it's easy to pronounce and spell. It is quietly strong but not rough or uber-masculine. I just love it.
I think I generally have a bit of a preference for what I see as "good guy" and friendly names for boys.
Finn (my absolute fave),
Joseph "
Joe",
Jack,
Samuel "
Sam" etc all fit this to me as well.
Finn,
Ollie and
Joe sound like some brothers I'd like to hang out with.
