I believe Opie's full name was Oliver Phillip. "Opie" was just a cute way of using Andy's son's initials . . . O.P. Loved that show!

It was "Opie". That was the character's given name. It's less common today, but I think at one time more people had it. It's more common as a last name.

Um, because Opie was his name.
