You're not lying. Oliver was a popular name of that time.

Um because it's in awesome name

Though no-one’s admitted it I'm fairly certain I was named after Oliver Twist, a film both parents love can't speak for anyone else, it's possible the music osmotically keeps the name in people's minds, even if they aren't specifically naming their kids after the character.
