Sister to Autumn and Violet. What goes better? Olivia or Ivy? I think Olivia, but that's because they'll all be 6 letters/go up in syllables (2, 3 and 4!)

Ivy is lovely and fits the best.

Ivy is a beautiful name, less common and fits lovely with your other names.

In my baby groups I know no Olivia's but quite a few Ivy's if that sways you at all. I think both are pretty and both work.

Ivy, a lovely name. Olivia is so err... vanilla! Sorry, it's just far too common a bit like Mary was 100 years ago.

I agree. Ivy sounds lovely with Autumn and Violet.

Ivy. Olivia is nice but terribly boring now. And the theme is lovely without being twee.

I was going to say Ivy because they're all nature-related nouns.
