Yes Arla is a reasonably well known manufacturer of dairy products (think Cravendale). I've never heard it used as a name.

Milk brand was my first thought.

Orla!
Olivia is fine but a bit dull
Arla - grand but much prefer Orla (or you can spell it Orlaith)

Olivia. Not too keen on any of the middle name suggestions.

Is Arla is a dairy producer/company. Lara is nice though.

Olivia is alright.

I thought milk producer too. So Olivia Mae, but I prefer Olivia May.

Hmm...I think we're pretty set on Olivia being in there as the name is quite sentimental to us for other reasons, but we were trying to think of more unique middle names as Olivia is very common at the moment. Any suggestions?

Mae is pretty common as a middle or tag-on name at the minute.

How about...
Olivia Hope
Olivia Megan
Olivia Meredith
Olivia Josephine
Olivia Faith

I've never heard of Arla before. Where does it come from?

I quite like it I think but much prefer the similar Ayla, Anya, Aria and Mala.

Agree that Olivia and Arla don't scan very well but don't think that matters much - people don't often say them together.

I'd probably go with Arla Olivia over Olivia Arla
