    - He's right. My Dad is fairly laid back about a lot of things, including what we name our DCs, but he'd never call a grandchild named Oliver by that name - he'd be "buddy" or "little guy", whatever, but never, ever called Oliver.

      - Hudson is a last name /first name (not that I dislike it). Oliver is a classic name that exists in some form in many languages. Bad comparison-
