Please help! This is the only name we can agree on but I'm not 100% sure.

Little sister to Jasmine.

We're not keen on names ending in -a but not 100% against.

Prefer familiar names that aren't super popular.

Slightly put off Olive because of the popularity of Oliver and Olivia (is that rational?)

Probs not v helpful but I really dislike the name olive as it literally makes me picture an olive and therefore seems too ‘round’ and plump a name. But that is probs ridiculous and you have to trust your own tastes as there is no perfect name.

I only know one Olive, aged 14, and she's lovely and the name really suits her. I don't associate it with Olivia somehow!

That's actually the plan re Ollie as nickname! Think it's really cute for a girl.

Could you go with Olive and call her Ollie as a nickname? Olivia would go well with Jasmine but it is popular.
