I really don't think you can call a DS either Olive or Olivia, just because they sound a bit like the boys name OP is considering.

If she wanted to anglicise it, and put a long form to it, then surely it should be Oliver.

It’s absolutely awful.

Ovulation

Ovens

Aviaries

Oviducts

Gummibaersy · 09/07/2019 13:34

Awful but possibly a nickname for Olive or Olivia.

RubberTreePlant · 09/07/2019 12:24

God no.

VikingVolva · 05/07/2019 21:07

This is he:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovie_Soko

It doesn't say it's a nickname, and his family is of Nigerian background

UFOLover · 05/07/2019 20:01

Ovia is a fertility app which is pretty similar to Ovie. Is that definitely his name and not a nickname?

TatianaLarina · 05/07/2019 19:48

Sounds like worming pills.

PestoCaffeinisto · 05/07/2019 18:40

Or Sight

PestoCaffeinisto · 05/07/2019 18:39

Or Loaded

PestoCaffeinisto · 05/07/2019 18:39

Or Draft

PestoCaffeinisto · 05/07/2019 18:38

As long as your surname’s not Dose Grin

UnapologeticallyUnsociable · 05/07/2019 18:37

I like it 👍

BiBabbles · 05/07/2019 14:56

I could see Ovie as a nickname for Olive or Olivine, but by itself it does sound kinda sound like a women's health app.

Strawberrymush · 05/07/2019 14:51

Reminds me of sheep 🐑

BentBaastard · 05/07/2019 14:30

No

Katjolo · 05/07/2019 14:30

Cute name

MamaFlintstone · 05/07/2019 14:29

I get fertility app vibes from this too.

LenoVentura · 05/07/2019 14:11

It's not a name. It's not even a word. No.

StellarLunar · 05/07/2019 14:10

Sounds like a an app to track fertility

PinkCrayon · 05/07/2019 14:08

I love it

JustTheCrowsAndTheBeef · 05/07/2019 14:07

Sorry! I don’t watch Love Island. I didn’t realise it was a boys’ name Blush

Owlbert · 05/07/2019 13:59

My first thought was ovaries as others have said. Would be ok as a nickname

Refilona · 05/07/2019 13:24

Sounds like ovaries and ovia (the app). Or ovo / huevo / uovo (egg) in Portuguese, Spanish and Italian respectively. It’s a no from me!

GlacindaTheTroll · 05/07/2019 13:22

Ovie on Love Island is a 6ft 7 muscly hunk. I really don't think Olive would work as a substitute!

Snowy81 · 05/07/2019 10:48

My ovie’s are playing up today.......
