My husband and I both like the name [name]Ollie[/name] but hate [name]Oliver[/name]. Im just not quite convinced [name]Ollie[/name] could stand alone as an official given name. What do others think of just [name]Ollie[/name]? Or what other names could be shortened to [name]Ollie[/name]?
Personally I would steer away from [name]Ollie[/name] purely because it is so very popular right now. I know four Ollies (all Olivers) all 4 years old or under, just in my circle of friends and not counting other Ollies I have come across at preschool/swimming lessons etc.
The only other name that comes to mind that could be shortened is [name]Tolliver[/name].
I don’t like [name]Ollie[/name] as a stand alone name. It’s just seems way to cutsey on a grown man like a lawyer or something. I like [name]Tolliver[/name] as it’s familiar sounds but unique also.
[name]How[/name] about:
Olander
Olbert
Olis
Ollin
Crisol
Erol
I have a son named [name]Oliver[/name], so obviously I love that name. We sometimes call him [name]Ollie[/name], and that’s how I prefer it - as a nickname. But if you don’t like [name]Oliver[/name], what about Olivander?
[name]Oliver[/name] is a cute name. It’s quite popular where I live but I still love it. [name]Ollie[/name] feels exactly like to much of a nickname imo.
[name]Do[/name] you like [name]Apollo[/name]? Olivander is also handsome, I like that suggestion! 
I don’t think [name]Ollie[/name] work on its own
love the suggestions of [name]Tolliver[/name] and Olivander
maybe try (though some are a stretch):
[name]Lionel[/name]
[name]Bartholomew[/name]
[name]Collin[/name]
[name]Connolly[/name]
[name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Hollis[/name]
[name]Olan[/name]
[name]Leopold[/name]
the good thing about nicknames is they don’t have to match the name.
[name]Ollie[/name] seems a bit too nicknamey to be a standalone name to me as well. If you like the nickname though, there certainly are a lot of good options on this thread (I personally think [name]Oliver[/name] would be a good option, but if you don’t like it you don’t like it), but I’d suggest not using Olivander, as I’m pretty sure that was a made up name by JK Rowling for the [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] books (Ollivander’s Wand Shop).
Oleander? [name]Colin[/name]?
I don’t think it stands well alone. The previously mentioned Olivander is the only thing besides [name]Oliver[/name] that I think really works as a full name for nn [name]Ollie[/name].
[name]One[/name] of my best friends is named [name]Ollie[/name], and he is as masculine as they come! I absolutely adore that name! (staunch supporter here)
I dislike [name]Ollie[/name] as a given name. It sounds too much like a nickname.
[name]Olaf[/name], [name]Oleg[/name]?
Thanks all. Some great name suggestions but still nothing that feels quite right. lrmum, its popularity was my other major concern with this name. I am in Australia also so I think you have just confirmed for me that it is too popular for my liking!
A friend of my mum has a grandson named [name]Olly[/name] - not [name]Oliver[/name], just [name]Olly[/name] - and when I first heard it I didn’t like it at all. I still don’t particularly. I like [name]Oliver[/name] nn [name]Ollie[/name], but I just don’t think it stands alone particularly well. I know nickname names are common in the UK and I think Australia tend to follow us in our trends but it’s one I’d advise against. Any name with the ‘ol’ sould in it would pretty much work, I reckon.
I don’t like nicknames a full names like [name]Evie[/name] or [name]Archie[/name], so I don’t think [name]Ollie[/name] could work as a stand alone name.
