What would you name a brother to Oliver?

Boy Names
1

We’re really struggling to create a boy list right now, which is weird because boy names used to be easy for us. We have a son named [name]Oliver[/name] who we call [name]Ollie[/name] a lot. I would definitely say that we are “nickname people” as potential nicknames for various full names were a big discussion the first time around.

To give you an idea of our style, here are some names we really love but cannot use for one reason or another:
[name]Frederick[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]

So, what would you name a brother to [name]Oliver[/name]/[name]Ollie[/name]? Thanks!

My first thought was [name]Griffin[/name]. It’s not exactly the same style as [name]Oliver[/name], but I think [name]Ollie[/name] and [name]Finn[/name], or [name]Ollie[/name] and [name]Griff[/name] would sound really good!

[name]Genevie[/name] ” Thanks for all of the time you put into your post. I really like these: [name]Edmund[/name], [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Atticus[/name], and [name]Micah[/name].

Bostonlover ” I do really like [name]Eli[/name], though I would want a longer given name! I do like [name]Elijah[/name], but my husband doesn”t.

Labmama ” I really like [name]Griffin[/name] too, but my husband doesn”t. He hates [name]Finn[/name]. I was trying to sell him on [name]Finian[/name] the first time around!

[name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] ([name]Ollie[/name] and [name]Arty[/name])
[name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Andrew[/name] ([name]Drew[/name])
[name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] ([name]Lee[/name]?)
[name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Donovan[/name] ([name]Van[/name]? [name]Vinn[/name]? [name]Finn[/name]???)
[name]Oliver[/name] and Graden ([name]Grady[/name]) I know the “names ending in ‘n’” fad is kind of nuts right now, but it’s really a very old name…my great-grandfather’s name actually!
