What do you think of Olivette?

I read that it's the French version of Olivia and was also a name used to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night

I prefer Olivia.

When I was growing up (far too long ago) there was a brand of typewriter called Olivetti. It is too similar to that for my liking, though I do appreciate that saying that does date me rather.

Sorry but agree that sounds like spread. What about the name Olive? Or Odette? Ottilie?

First thing I thought of was Olivetti - a make of typewriter. Sorry -Cant see anything wrong with Olivia though.

I was going to say it sounds like a brand of hand tissues. Soz
