Olivia or Olympia?

[evieboo]

Hello, hello, hello! My first thread and one about names, specifically the name, Olympia. My older children are Joseph Brooks, Annabeth Poppy, Dominic Jackson and Rosemary August. All my kids have at least one name that means lots to me, for example Joseph was my dad's middle name, Elizabeth is my MIL's name, Jack is my FIL's name and Rosemary is my mother's name although she always has gone by Molly. So, that gives you a little idea as to the type of names and little hints of family I like to use.

Olympia is a name I like because it is strong, unique and breaks up the fairly commonplace but utterly delicious Charlotte, which will be our daughter's first name. But, Charlotte's first name is quite clearly a hint to her great granddad's name Charlie which has been a lovely realisation and I would like to honor my own granddad as well as DH's. His name is Oliver but he has always been known as Oli so I was hoping I could get away with Olympia being a little reference to him but I don't always want to be explaining the connection and I don't want to leave him out.

Therefore, Charlotte Olivia or Charlotte Olympia?

Going with your other names it's a Charlotte Olympia from me.

[SkeletalFishtail]

Fantastic names op! It’s another vote for Olympia from me. Oh how I wish I was named Charlotte Olympia!!!

[DullAndOld]

I love Olympia but cant get the exhibition centre/tube stop out of my mind.
If you like Greek names what about Artemis or Antigone?..:)

[ChocolateCrunch]

Definitely Charlotte Olympia! Lovely name

[Yika]

I love Olympia but if you want to honour your GF I think Olivia would be the one Togo for.

[WhatKatyDidNotDo]

Absolutely love Olympia

[AppleKatie]

Olivia

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Olympia, without doubt.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Where is Elizabeth in your children's names?

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Oh the Beth bit. I read it as Annabelle.

[TheVanguardSix]

Olivia.

If you wish to honour family, Olivia.

Isn't Charlotte Olympia a shoe designer? She does these amazing cat shoes that if I ever had £500 to drop on shoes I would..

[TheVanguardSix]

I read your other threads... you're on a bit of a naming frenzy between puppy and baby! You're getting a dog... today is it?
Hope your baby's not due for a while.

[VioletCharlotte]

Charlotte Olivia is lovely.

Charlotte Olympia.. not so much.

[pilates]

Charlotte Olivia, not keen on Olympia

[lunabear1]

Charlotte Olympia is beautiful but it's all a shoe designer

[DahlTheGalah]

Great names all around! In Italy, it's usually spelt Olimpia; maybe that version could make the link to your Granddad stronger.

[evieboo]

Oh ffs i wasnt aware of the shoe designee at all! And yes we are getting a puppy but in 2 weeks so not quite yet was wondering whether someone would make that connection but yes I'm in the mood to settle names. I did know about the Olimpia spelling and I think i might consider it tbh.

Thank you lovelies.

Olympia was Alexander the Great's terrifying mother as I recall. Utterly ruthless & quite evil politician.

I like it, it's cool .

[RavenWings]

Olivia is fine. Bit over used, but fine.

Olympia is godawful.

[GinwithCucumber]

I like Olympia!

If she feels she is not an Olympia then Ollie is an easy nn

[daisypond]

How about Olive? Much less common than Olivia. But I like Olympia as well.

[evieboo]

Ooh @PurpleCrowbar i like that association!

[Twinkletwinkle4]

I agree with daisypond

Olive would be a nice option.

Charlotte Olympia I just think off the shoes, although it they are lovely shoes...

[stonygreysoil]

Charlotte Olivia!
