I think Oliver is an adorable name, so does my hubby! The nickname Ollie sounds cute for a baby or toddler, & then Oliver sounds more grown up later on. Either way Oliver just sounds GREAT to me! :D

My wife really wants to name our new baby Oliver. But I am worried that kids might pick on him in school for that name. What does everyone think? No one thinks it is a sissy name? Thanks.
