Yeah, I think Ethan called him “Ripper.” So the “Call him Rupert & you’ll eventually die” holds. Of course, doesn’t everyone eventually die? And what happened to Olivia?

I don’t know what happened to Olivia, though some people speculate that they broke up, and this was implied by his dream in **Restless**.  
Spike mostly calls Giles “Watcher” or “Ripper”, and Ethan always called him “Ripper”.
