Olivia- nickname

Due our DD next month. We have agreed on Olivia mainly because it’s the only girls name my husband likes at all! I like it but the popularity puts me off a bit. Can anyone think of a more unusual nickname than ‘Liv’ that might make me feel it has a bit more of a…shine? I was thinking maybe Oli but open to other ideas.

Levi

Livia, Livie, Libby. I am not keen on Oli as that is usually a diminutive of Oliver. Maybe Ola?

I love Olive as a shortening of Olivia. Viv or Vivi is gorgeous too.

I know an Olesya shortened to Oli so I guess you could do it for Olivia. Nothing to stop her or her friends deciding to use Liv when she's at school of course.

Vivi?

It’s popular because it’s such a lovely name :)

How about Vi or Viva to be a bit different?

Bear in mind though when she goes to school, it will likely be automatically shortened to Liv or Livi by her peers.
