I like it as a surname. I don't think it could be a first name because it's too long. Usually "-son" surnames that become first names only have 1-2 syllables before the "son". Jackson, Madison, Emerson, Grayson, Bronson, etc. work because the whole name is 3 syllables or less including the "son". Also, the double s makes me think it can only be a surname.

I love seeing surnames discussed on the board. I like to collect those as much as I do first names. My lists on here are sorely lacking cool surnames.

Oliversson doesn't make the cool surname list for me. Either as a surname or a surname trying to do the shuffle to the first name spot.

It's at best a surname, and not one that could make the jump to first name use.
It's odd to be honest.

Why bother? I've never seen it IRL, and that is sufficient evidence! If people had liked the sound and the look and the meaning, or even just one of those three, it would exist. But it doesn't. QED.

Looks ugly and weird for me.

Don't like

I hardly tolerate Oliver. This is way too clunky and weird. It almost sounds like a sentence “Oh liver, son!”
