I am due in two weeks and really torn on girls names! My favourite is 'Olive' and i like 'Liv' as an abbreviation for when they get older, but i have come across so many negative comments about Olive i am doubting it now. Alternatives i have are Amelie and Madeleine, i wouldn't consider Olivia, because although it is a lovely name it's just too popular. Please help!! Thanks!

P.S - (If i go with Olive i think i will use Lily as a middle name).

I love love love Olive. I think it is really sweet. I like Olivia as well but like you, I think it is way to popular.

Amelie and Madeleine are nice but a little bit over-used at the moment. I think Olive is much nicer. I also like Iris, which I think is similar sort of name to Olive.

Be brave and use it. I remember a couple I knew a few years ago had a little girl called Olive and I thought what a gorgeous name!

I only think of On The Buses when I hear the name Olive.
