Do you prefer Oliva or Olivella for a girl?

We've ruled out Olivia because it's too popular but Olive seems too plain for us. We have Spanish links and want to choose between these two names but can't decide!

Sorry OP, I agree with PP. Olivia is beautiful, Oliva is ‘Oliver’ and Olivella sounds like margarine oil.

Olivia x the other name looks made up or a name for butter/margarine! X

Olivio spread.

They both sound like margarine. Sorry. Athena, Helena, Arianna? Or Livia, Lydia?

Olivella sounds like a brand of olive oil (and, incidentally, auto corrected to Olivia when I typed it) and Oliva looks like a typo for Olivia, especially if she is going to be brought up in UK where Oliva is that well known.
Olivia is a beautiful name, popular for a good reason.

Sorry OP - I read the title and thought "spread".

Olivella sounds like you couldn’t decide between Olivia and Isabella so just mashed them together.

EssentialHummus · 31/07/2021 14:28

Neither, for all the reasons PP gave.

Olivella sounds like olive oil. Or like a type of olive oil based margarine. Olivia on the other hand is beautiful.

If you live in England, people will assume Oliver rather than Oliva or that it's a typo for Olivia.

I think Oliva they would spend their life correcting as people would think it was Olivia. And tend to agree with the Olivella sounding spread-like, sorry.

TheVanguardSix · 31/07/2021 14:21

Neither. Sorry but Olivella sounds like you're plugging a plant-based food product.
It's Olivia (which is much prettier sounding than Oliva) or another name entirely.
