Popeyes wife hmm

It's also food

But nicer than Olivia

Sorry more than three Grin

Haha! DH will be so happy! He predicted an Olive comeback 17 years ago when we considered Olivia and I said that would never happen. I won't tell him though. I do hate him being right.

It's cute. I like it

MyBoysAreFab · 14/08/2013 09:20

I love it!

telsa · 14/08/2013 13:15

strong, individual, quirky

onedogandababy · 14/08/2013 13:19

I love it. And would use it, except it's awful with DP's surname Brown.

Mumblyboo · 14/08/2013 13:57

ooh i really like all the three (and more) word associations. I do love it, DH not so sure but its the number one contender and i have a lovely, v girly middle name to put with it to 'pretty' it up....

Quirky, strong yet cute.

BurbGirl2013 · 14/08/2013 16:28

Very cute and different (in good way)

candycoatedwaterdrops · 14/08/2013 18:28

It's a food.

evamummy · 14/08/2013 21:39

Oily, herby, salty olive! I'm honestly surprised that some of you find that 'cute' Shock!?

evamummy · 14/08/2013 21:40

Olivia, on the other hand, is lovely. Also sounds good in other languages, but try saying Olive in French or German Smile.

On the Buses............."Arfur Arfur!!" Grin

TerrysNo2 · 14/08/2013 21:44

Olivia is lovely

Olive is not

Love it- it was on my list :)

pygmy · 15/08/2013 10:58

I used to love it but have gone off it of late. I think the overuse of Olivia and Oliver make it a bit blah.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 15/08/2013 11:02

No and no.

Not a good name for an adult either.

MrsBungle · 15/08/2013 11:04

oil
on the buses
green

DH suggested this for DD. I really dislike it, it is a very harsh, matronly, middle aged name imo.

pussycatwillum · 15/08/2013 12:14

Never understood why, when there were so many lovely names to choose from, DMiL's parents plumped for Olive. She was a lovely lady, but it just made me think of olive green. Why would you?
