Nicknames for Oliver (other than Ollie)

Boy Names

Hello,

I really like the name [name]Oliver[/name], but do not love “[name]Ollie[/name]” as a nickname. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Well, there’s [name]Liv[/name] which lead me to [name]Livy[/name], which lead me to [name]Levi[/name]. With a name like [name]Oliver[/name], I don’t think you need a nickname, you can pick one that’s not related to his first name, perhaps give him a nicknamey middle to compensate and then use that instead.
Such as [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Leo[/name], or something.

I, too, think [name]Oliver[/name] doesn’t really need a nn. I suppose you could use [name]Liv[/name], although I much prefer it for a girl. If I had an [name]Oliver[/name], he’d just be [name]Oliver[/name], though–I love it so much on its own.

Tolly and Nol/[name]Noll[/name] are fairly traditional, but if you just like [name]Oliver[/name] as-is, that should be easy to establish…I know Alexanders, and at least one each of [name]Antonio[/name] and [name]Jeremiah[/name] who demand all four syllables all the time :slight_smile:

Ahaha, aww. I love that.

Our [name]Oliver[/name] does not have a nickname, except for one completely unrelated to his name…[name]Buzz[/name].

I think [name]Vern[/name] would be super cute if he had an ‘N’ middle a la:

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Nickleby[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Nigel[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Neo[/name]

I’m not a fan of [name]Ollie[/name] either. I love [name]Oliver[/name] on its own though. But if I had to call him a nn…I think I’d just call him O.

I have a best friend named [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and I call him a lot of things here are some:

[name_u]Ollie[/name_u]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
Ollipop
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] Garden (not really cute)
Olives in [name_m]Hawaii[/name_m] (because he has a birth mark that looks like [name_m]Hawaii[/name_m])

But I really like his name as it is. [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].
