Just looking for some opinions on a boy name.
Our middle name for a boy is definitely Sawyer. DH was a sawyer for the US Forest Service for a few years, so it's a nod to a job and a time he loved.

One of our top contender first names is Oliver.

Oliver Sawyer.

Is the double sound too much? We have other boy names, but I wanted opinions before I decide whether to keep this one or throw it out.

    Henry and Francis.
    Henry Sawyer is #1 right now. I just can't get Oliver out of my head. I'll probably be saving it for a different middle name with the next one.

    I love Henry Sawyer.  Love, love, love it.  If we didn't already have a little boy's name picked out I might try to talk my DH into it.  Definitely save Oliver for your next little guy... Henry & Oliver are just perfect as brothers.

    This is a good suggestion, although I don't think Oliver Sawyer is the WORST thing in the world. But if you can avoid it, you probably should.

    I don't have a problem with Oliver Sawyer at all. People hardly ever use both names together. 

    But Henry Sawyer is also cool. (I think I personally prefer Oliver to Henry, but that could be my own associations.)

    I'm in the minority with the name Oliver in general- I do not see the appeal.   Henry Sawyer is very nice, though!  Sawyer is in our top 3 for boy first names.

    I love the name Oliver, but I think it is too much -er.

    I really like Henry Sawyer. I think that's a win.

    I don't mind the double er sound at all and really like that name choice, it sounds very sweet!

    I'm in the minority with you. I don't get the appeal of the name Oliver. Also agree that Henry Sawyer is great.
