The only thing FTD and I could agree on when it came to naming our son was that we didn't want a popular name. We wanted something different, but not too different, like Coconut- we aren't famous we couldn't pull it off. So when the baby next door was born with my name, I caved. Oliver it was.
Here is the not so funny part, Oliver is EXTREMELY popular in Europe and Australia, so depending on where we are, he may not be the only Oliver in his class. According to The Social Security database Oliver ranks number 73 for 2012 but #305 in 2000 so the name is gaining a bit of steam.

I have to say I am a little shocked that Chloe is not on this list. I have five girlfriends who gave birth to Chole's in 2012. FIVE! And to see Olivia on the list, but not Oliver! OK? What do you think. Any shockers or names you think should be on the Top 10 list instead?
