Nickname for Oliver?

livinreality

We have not picked a boy name for sure but Oliver is in the top 5, but just wondering what nicknames there are... I am blanking... DH says there has to be a nickname possibility.

I know people tend to be either in the "yeah! nickname boat, the more names the merrier" or "anti nickname my kid has a name boat"... we are somewhere inbetween). Our DS is called by his middle name Caden which I would never have thought of a nickname for but goes by Cae mostly.

Thanks for your suggestions

I would say Oli, but olie olie oxen free? Hmm kids can be mean... I really like the name Oliver so I probably wouldn't even use a nick name.  Our favorite boy name is Declan, so it doesn't really have a lot of nn potential either.

Ollie is the most common nick name, but I've known a few ppl with different nicknames:

Levi, Liv, and Iver

Those are good, I think they would qualify for DH's nickname possibility requirement.  Thanks I knew some one's pregnancy brain was working better than mine.

Ollie/Olly is the only one I've ever heard.

I've only heard Ollie for Oliver. It's an ok nickname but I definitely prefer Oliver.

I have an older male relative whose name is Oliver Winston and he's gone by O.W. (pronounced "Oh-DUB-ya" in a lovely southern twang) since birth.  So you could try initials.

 Nah, its just a trick of the light.
I'm really quite stunned at the best of times.

Ollie. And Dec is a nn used in the UK for Declan.

The only Oliver I know goes by either Ollie or O.
