Thoughts??

Due in 3 days and still stuck for names!
Also like Alice but I feel like that is rising in popularity currently?
Elizabeth is after DPs grandmother

I think Olive is lovely. As is Alice (my DDs name). How about Olive Eliza?

Olive doesn't have a pleasant ring about it imho

I like it.

Both are nice names but Olive trendier than Alice. It’s rising sharply in popularity and was 107 on England and Wales list from 2019. Alice is more popular (number 24) but has been far more steady. It’s on a slight downward curve at the moment but has been constantly in the top fifty for over thirty years. It depends what’s important to you. You are more likely to run across other Alices but Olive is more likely to date.

I prefer Alice and Elizabeth to Olive.
If you want to use Olive as a first name Elizabeth as a mn.
Olive Alice doesn't flow very well.

If you are using Olive as a first name, check that it sounds ok with the surname. It might look and sound odd with some surnames.
