Help[Opinions] Re: Olivier
in reply to a message by Pearls Before Swine
Oliver is sufficient enough for me, but Olivier is cool.
The problem with naming a son Olivier in an English-speaking country is that the pronunciation is so close to Olivia or Oliver you may as well just call him that. The French believe that English-speaking people have the worst French accent, and they’re not exactly wrong.
I would maybe put Olivier as a middle name if I wanted to use it so badly, like Justin Olivier or something but as a first name? I’d think twice about that one.
