Hi everyone,

I want to call my daughter Olivia Mae and i love the shortened version 'Livvie'. My mum likes Olivia but says Livvie is chav!!

I know it doesnt matter what she thinks and i dont suppose it really makes a difference but i just wanted different peoples opinions from all over - as i dont know any Livvies / Olivias!!!

Was the most popular name of 2007 and I have two in my ante-natal class (My DD is 2.5 weeks!). Very pretty though!

what about Livia?

It is Italian, more unusual and so pretty.

Dd2's best friend is Olivia, or Livvie and she is one of the sweetest little girls I know, not chavvy at all.

Well, my little Livvy (officially Olivia) is 3 weeks old, completely gorgeous (may be slightly biased) and no sign of being a chav so far. I did worry that Olivia is very popular but once we had it on our list I didn't like anything as much....

It was our first choice throughout the pregnancy. Til we realised it was everyone else's first choice too and switched 2 weeks before the birth to something abit rarer which we LOVE.

Have never regretted it. There were 3 in my baby massage class. But dont think it is chavvy at all. If the popularity doesnt bother you (it really did bother me) go for it!

Olivia is very very popular, but a lovely name, and Livvy is not at all chavvy.

janeite · 04/04/2008 21:18

I know only one Livvi and she is totally not a chav. I think your chosen name sounds lovely.

GreatGooglyMoogly · 04/04/2008 21:18

It is lovely but very popular
