What is Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger's son named?

The story behind the answer

Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger’s son is named Oliver.

Ann initially plans to become a mother through sperm donation after deciding she wants a child without waiting for the right relationship. She asks Chris to be the donor, and the arrangement gradually rekindles their romance. They eventually conceive and raise the child together.

Oliver is born during the sixth-season episode “Galentine’s Day,” while Ann and Chris are preparing to leave Pawnee for Michigan. The character is later identified by his full name, Oliver Perkins-Traeger. In the series finale, the couple is shown with a younger daughter named Leslie, presumably named after Ann’s best friend Leslie Knope.

A common mix-up is confusing Oliver with Leslie and Sonia. Leslie is Ann and Chris’s daughter, while Sonia is one of Ben and Leslie Wyatt’s triplets. Oliver is also the child who helps connect the Perkins-Traeger and Knope-Wyatt families in the finale’s future scenes.
