[Opinions] Re: Nicknames for Oliver
I guess he could be Liv or Livvie, but that sounds like a name for an Olivia, and he's sure to meet lots of them.
The two Olivers I know are father and son and the father is Oliver and the son is just Little Oliver, Little to his family. Which is funny because he's actually much bigger than his dad.If you ever read the 87th Precinct books by Ed McBain, there's a character named Oliver Weeks who is always called Fat Ollie. So at least there's something worse than iver.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Oh dear god, fat Ollie. I guess any fat kid could be fat whatever. Hopefully he won't get my chubby child genes or maybe kids now are nicer than they were when I was a kid (doubtful).
