Please be honest!

Does Oliver Fisher sound bad?

DH is stuck on the name Oliver, and although I love it, it sounds awful with our last name.

 TYIA!!

At first I was going to say that yes, it sounds bad.  But after I said it a few times aloud, I sort of like it! It sounds like a name out of a Dickens novel - not that that is a bad thing! Just has that ring to it.

I think it's cute. 

 That's so funny!! I thought the EXACT same thing. It sounds so storybook.

Doesn't bother me at all... Great name!

Doesn't flow well enough for me, cute though!

We have the exact same problem with our LN and ended up nixing Asher as a middle name b/c of it

I think that fn and ln are fine as long as you break them up with a mn that doesn't end in 'er'. My husbands fn and ln both end in 'son' but it is not bad and his mn breaks it up too.

ShabyKitty

His mn will more than likely be Bradley.

 So Oliver Bradley Fisher

I really like Oliver, but not with your last name. I grew up with my fn & ln ending in er and I hated it

Oliver Bradley Fisher sounds great.

Oliver Fisher?  It's not great, but it's certainly not awful.

I agree. NN Ollie Fisher flows well

Sounds like a character from a Dickens novel to me too. It NMS, but its definitely not bad.

This exactly!

I love the name Oliver. It's been at the top of my list for years.

I had to say the whole name aloud quite a few times - but I don't think it sounds bad. At first I didn't like the "er" at the end of both names.. but after saying it out loud I realized it's not terrible.

I think it works, plus I love the name Oliver!

I think it sounds fine. I definitely wouldn't nix it because of the flow. IMO it really isn't bad. Oliver is a good pick.

BLPL101

I don't like it.

I don't love the double -ers but I do love Oliver. I'm having a similar issue with with my fiance's last name too! I think it is important for you to not only love the first name but love the way they sound together.

Oliver is a great name. The flow isn't the greatest with Fisher but it's not so bad that I'd nix it on the basis of that alone.

Super cute! It goes well because in the name "Oliver" there is so much emphasis on the "O" that you don't hear much of the "-er". Plus "O" is a cute first initial.

The combo sounds bad to me.

MoreThanABride

meh, I don't think it is that great of a combo

CatnipTrinket

I don't think it sounds bad at all.

roxyttandme

I adore Oliver! Our last name rhymes with Sh1tty,... So it was a no-go for us...

Beaglechon2012

I don't like it.

Clover&Jewels

I don't like the double -er ending.  Even if you broke it up with a non -er middle name, how often do you say the whole name?  Not alot. 

 I'd try and find something else. 

 

Jayjae22

No, doesn't sound bad I like Oliver :]

Zimger

I think it sounds just fine.

AceC

I totally agree!!  LOVE IT!
