'Oliver and Annie' is really cute. It reminds me of Annie, the musical, and Oliver Twist, the musical: two of my favorite movies when I was a kid. :)

I like Oliver for someone else's kid. It's a bit too Brit-chic for me personally, but it's a perfectly strong name. And his siblings have the option of calling him Liver. ;)

---

Annie on its own bugs me, though. I've grown to like it as a nickname, but by itself, it's really whiny.

Oliver isn't bad. I personally prefer Olivier, but that might be a bit pretentious of me. ;) Annie is nice, but more as a nn for Anne, Annette, etc.

---

Oliver and Annie as a sibset is going a bit strong on the orphan theme in my thinking.

---

Oliver and Annie remind me of orphans when I see them together... If you don't mind that people might see this, than it's ok.

I think Oliver and Annie sound lovely together. I really adore the name Oliver and it is the name I would give to my first son (when I eventually have kids!)! I have chosen Oliver Eli for my son, do you like that?

I don't really like it exactly, but I *love* the nickname Noll, which is the only thing that's warmed me up to it at all. Oliver doesn't remind me of the obvious 'olives,' but rather it brings to mind a kind of brownish puce sort of color, like oliver ought to be the name of something kind of dogfood-ish. :-/ Don't ask why, but that's how it feels to me.

So personally I don't like it, but for its classic appeal and its lack of enormous popularity I can appreciate it and respect people using it. I think Oliver and Annie go together quite well as a sibset; it's kind of sweet and nice, IMO. I think Oliver will go well with any middle name with a classic sort of feel, like:

---

Oliver William
Oliver Thomas
Oliver Charles
Oliver Jeremiah
Oliver Daniel
Oliver Theodore
Oliver Howard
Oliver Lawrence

To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.

I love love love the name Oliver, and always have done. It will be the name of my first son. He'll be Oliver William Robert. I also like:
Oliver Michael
Oliver James
Oliver Dominic

Oliver and Annie sound terrfic together. They sound vaguely familiar. Perhaps I'm thinking of the musicals Annie and Oliver. (shrugs)

Because Oliver has three syllables, I think a shorter name as a middle name sounds better--either one or two syllables. Oliver Ray and Oliver James come to mind.

I like the name Oliver, it's great. I really love the sib set Oliver and Annie. The names sound really good together. Here are some combo suggestions:

---

Oliver James
Oliver John
Oliver Gabriel
Oliver Seth
Oliver Henry
Oliver Benjamin
Oliver Matthew
Oliver Chase
Oliver Darcy
Oliver Ethan
Oliver Toby
Oliver Charlie

Oliver and Annie = Cute sib set.

---

I'm tired of Oliver James... It's probably the most paired middle name with Oliver...

---

What middle name were you thinking for Annie?
