    Aside from sounding like a huge pussy, Ollie isn't particularly bad when it's short for Oliver. It's just not a stand alone name.

    JW as a first name. The initials don't stand for anything, it's just the name.

    I'm a big fan of traditional names but as I was watching my son Eden Hazard put the team on his back once again on Saturday, I thought that I didn't hate the name Eden for a girl.
