Oliver Wesley vs. Wesley Oliver

Trying to decide the ordering of two names we both love. Last name is monosyllabic if that helps. Why we are a bit stuck: 1)I think we both like the nickname Wes better than Ollie, but the name Oliver a bit better than Wesley. 2) Oliver has the advantage of not having the debate over whether there is a t: Wesley vs. Westley.

I like Wesley better the Westley. The t just seems unnecessary to me.

I think Oliver would most definitely be shortened to Ollie, so if you prefer the shortened name of Wes to Ollie - go with Wesley:)

I like the nickname Ollie, maybe it will grow on you if you like Oliver better than Wesley.
I think on the "t" or no "t" debate it just depends on how you want the name to sound- ’West-Lee’ or ’Wes-lee’.
Tough call, I think I’m leaning toward Oliver Wesley though.

Both names have a sophisticated sound to them: I think Oliver sounds a bit British, which is kind of cool.

I really don’t like Oliver...not sure why!

I think Wesley Oliver (not Westley) sounds great :)
