Alternative full versions of Ollie?

Boy Names

I’m a bit obsessed with the nickname Ollie/Olly, but I’d really like to avoid the name Oliver. I don’t hate Olen but my partner isn’t a huge fan. His family is very Eastern European Jewish, and it’s not a necessity but it would be nice to be able to incorporate. Try as I might I haven’t been able to find anything we both like, and I prefer to give a longer version instead of just using the nickname.

How about:

[name_u]Oleander[/name_u]
[name_m]Olson[/name_m]
[name_u]Collins[/name_u]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_m]Roland[/name_m]
Tollen

Thank you, I like [name_u]Oleander[/name_u] and [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_m]Oswell[/name_m] would work or is it too much of a stretch?

I think [name_m]Oswell[/name_m] works well! [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_u]Oleander[/name_u], maybe [name_m]Oswald[/name_m]?

[name_m]Olivian[/name_m]
[name_m]Olivier[/name_m] (ol - ih - vee - ay, I think)
Ollin
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
Oliviano, Olivetto - Google tells me that these are both last names but they could work as firsts
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] / [name_m]Apollos[/name_m] / [name_m]Apollinaire[/name_m]
[name_m]Bolivar[/name_m]
[name_m]Boltan[/name_m] / [name_m]Bolton[/name_m] / [name_m]Boltin[/name_m]
[name_m]Colson[/name_m]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u]

Honestly I’m not a fan of the big Harry Potter association everyone would have.

Yes there is the hp association, which understandably isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But it also reminds me of a bit of a ‘smoosh name’ between [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] and [name_m]Evander[/name_m].
Good luck with find your Olly/Ollie’s full name.
