Oliver vs. Evander vs. Olivander/Ollivander

Oliver and Evander have been my husband and I's favorite names since we've started discussing having kids, but now that our little man is about to be here we can't decide which we want to use, and we don't like how the sound together. We've had some difficulties getting pregnant so we are worried that this will be our only child so we don't really want to wait to use the other for a next baby that may never happen. But we were rewatching Harry Potter and fell in love with Olivander/Ollivander (which is the surname of a fairly minor character if anyone is unaware) and we really think it could work for us, it combines the sounds we love most about both the names and we just think it sounds really handsome and sophisticated? Do you think it can work as a first name or is too weird? Also which spelling do you prefer? Ollivander is the spelling from Harry Potter but I think we like Olivander just a smidge more? Thanks for your thoughts!

Genie's Mailbag

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
