How Many Oliver's Do You ACTUALLY Know?

We are having an awful time trying to come up with a name for baby boy #2.

At the moment [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is the ONLY name we both actually love.

I’m weary though as its SO popular and while I don’t mind the possibility of a few [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]'s in his school while he is there I’d really like to avoid picking a name that could result in like 4 of them in the same class.

[name_m]How[/name_m] many [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]'s do you actually know that were born from 2016 and onward?

I know zero Olivers.

[name_m]Born[/name_m] from 2016 onward? Four. [name_m]Born[/name_m] before that? That takes the total up to 8. I live in a small town, too!

From 2016 on, two that I can think of right away. Plus one who is about a year older than that.

Actually, I think it’s just one who was born in 2016, one in 2015, and the other was probably 2014. Either way, 3 pretty close!

I don’t know any Olivers, but I don’t know a ton of babies. I think it’s helpful to look at the list of popular names from the year you were born and see what names went to a similar percentage of babies. So if you were born in 1990, similar popularity names would be [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Richard[/name_m], [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], [name_f]Melissa[/name_f], [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], and [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] (for the US). I knew a lot of Bens and Rebeccas, but I don’t think I ever had more than 2 in a class.

None. It’s not popular in my state.

I only know one!

I don’t know any baby Olivers. I know one 16 year old [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].

I don’t know any personally. I hear it fequently on blogs, you tube, etc.

I don’t know any people with the first name of [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].

I think worrying about him meeting another [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is a bit much. People have always shared names and popular names these days are given to a fewer percentage of people anyway. If you like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], choose [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].

from 2016 onwards, 1.
In total, 6

I am an elementary teacher in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] and I know zero! I know tons of [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Owens[/name_m] and Levis though, but zero Olivers!

I’m in the exact same boat! We both love [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] but I’m concerned about the popularity. It’s the number 2 name in my state☹” but I actually only know one.

I’ve never met an [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] of any age.

I know about 5 [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]'s aged 6 and under. And about 8 overall. It’s pretty popular where I live.

From 2016 onward, one.
Before 2016, five.

I know two [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]’s, but they were born in 2010 and 2012. None born after 2016.

Since my son was born in 2017, I have met 3 Olivers under 2, and also one [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] that I met once and have to assume is also an [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].

None actually

None in real life. Neither of my girls knows any Olivers or Ollies at school. I know of one from YouTube.
