Anytime I hear someone is named Ollie, I immediately know I'm dealing with an Englishman.
I believe it's short for Oliver.
Why are only Englishers named Ollie?

Re: Why are only Englishers named Ollie?
I knew a girl called Ollie once - she was from Malta. I guess it was short for Olivia.

Re: Why are only Englishers named Ollie?
Hmm, I had always assumed that the name 'Oliver had something to do with Olives.
Maybe like being an olive farmer in ancient times, or being a V.I.P. annointed with sacred olive oil, something like that.
But look at what the Internet just told me:

Elf Army! How cool geeky is that!?From Olivier, an Old French form of the Germanic name Alfher (literally "elf army/warrior")

Oliver North wasn't English, he was American.
However he was a traitor, so that probably still counts.

He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the United states Elf Army.
He served under General Claus, alongside the Keeblers and that Legos® guy.

You know he only took that job to pilfer jewelry & meds, plus maybe fish out some half-remembered passwords and credit card numbers.
