So I'm sure that my baby boy's name will be Oliver (hope I'm not copying too much @ABColeslaw, but I loved the Ollivander reference and DH needed a more traditional version). Baby girl will be Caroline Marjorie. What should Oliver's middle name be?

  • I love the name Oliver! Sadly, DH wouldn't get on board with it. I think Oliver Owen has a nice ring. I also like Oliver Henry as well as Oliver James.

  • Oliver Andrew would be pretty close to Ollivander.  :)

  • I think Henry, Benjamin, and Patrick all sound good, but Benjamin gets a leg up because of being a family name.

  • Can someone help me get my DH on board with Oliver :). It's my grandfathers name and I love it!

  • Love either Benjamin or Theodore.
  • Aww I LOVE the name Oliver!  We've just found out we're Team Blue but DH vetoed Oliver ages ago :(

    While I love Theodore, and Benjamin is really nice, I feel like they're a mouthful after a 3-syllable name like Oliver.  I'd probably keep it to one or two syllables.  I voted Patrick, but really like Owen as well :)

  • Oliver Blake. But Oliver Benjamin is a close second.
  • Oliver Andrew would be pretty close to Ollivander.  :)

    This. Or I was thinking Oliver Alexander. It might be too much depending on your LN. Otherwise, I like MNs to be personal or family names. What about Charles, Michael, Daniel, Lucas?

  • I think Oliver needs a one syllabal middle name otherwise it's too wordy. Nice name though!
  • I picked Benjamin because it keeps the syllables equal with your girl's name. Benjamin is also our boy pick, and Oliver and Caroline both made the short list. I love 3 syllable names I guess! DD has 3 syllables each in her first and middle names. We rarely call her by her full name anyway so it isn't a big deal that it's long.

  • Haha we have the same girl's name picked out.

    Wow really? The exact same name? I figured the Marjorie would be kind of different. Marjorie is both mine, and Dh's grandma's names and my SF moms name.

  • Just the first name, haha. My little girl's going to be named Caroline Ann (Ann was my grandmother's middle name, so it's special for me).

    Lol but obviously you have good taste in baby names! ;D

  • If you named him Oliver Henry, he'd be O. Henry, which might make a difference for your preference or non-preference of that option. 
  • Oliver is our boy name as well. Oliver Frederick ( Frederick is DH's middle name, and DH's uncle's & grandpa's name) :) obv love Oliver!
  • just remember, you can't steal a name because no one owns them :)  Oliver is a great name.  I personally like Benjamin....but that is Asher's middle name!  I also like Oliver Theodore a lot.

  • Thank you ladies!! We've decided on Oliver Benjamin!  So excited to already have names picked out.  @ABColeslaw I guess its a good thing no one owns names since I'm now using 2 of yours (or close to it anyway)... :-S
