I'm really starting to warm to the name Olive, I think it has a fresh quirky feel to it, with a vintage edge at the same time iykwim Grin

I think it may be a marmite name....which is fine as I want something unusual!

I'm not keen on Olivia as it is overdone IMO.

So what do you think? Do you know any? Is it getting popular? What kind of vibe do you think it has?

Thanks in advance Smile

There's a 6 year old Olive in ds2's class. I think it's a lovely name.

It's a bit On The Buses isn't it.

Its this bumps name if it turns out to be a girl.

I know two - one in her seventies and one who is nearly 2. The small one gets called Livvy a lot which I think is very sweet.

ginger in what way would you think a child would be bullied for the name, just wondering am I missing something? Blush

I like the sound of it. But I would worry that my child would get teased at school, and hence would avoid it for that reason.
