What do you think of Olive as sibling for Sofia?

I’m really warming to it...just need to convince dp!
And think of a boys name....

It woul be a no from me because I remember Olive from On the Buses TV show - but I think the response you get will depend on the age of the poster.

Ha - no from me - Olive just makes me think of Popeye and salad. I don’t get it. Sofia is so elegant and with such a rich history, if I were a sister called 🫒 I would be really pissed off.

Lois, Ines, Cleo, Bea(trice), Iris, Frances, Caitlin, Margot, Astrid, Marianne, Felicity all might be alternatives if you want something with a different feel to Sofia, or Cassia, Adela, Serena, Claudia, Flora, Miranda, Stella/Estella, Cordelia, Cecily/Cecilia if you don’t.

Patrick, Rufus, Dominic, Francis, Jude, Nicholas, Max, Guy, Hugh/Hugo, Luke/Lucas might be good for boys

Sofia is lovely and quite graceful. To me, Olive is the exact opposite, very lumpen and an unattractive sound. They're very different.

I’m really starting to like Olive recently, Liv is a nice nn too. Hazel and Fern have a similar feel to me. Boys suggestions maybe Zachary, Luca, Isaac or Ivan?

Lovely alternative to the more popular Olivia too
