Please don't say Oil...I'm about to give birth and very hormonal!

I have sort of given DH the middle name choice as he is letting me have Olive however I wondered what people think of his favourites...

Olive Celia
Olive Arabella
Olive Penelope

Any other ideas I could tempt him with?

Good luck with birth/baby/finding a name

I like Olive Penelope.
Can't think of anything better!
Persephone?
Amaryllis?
Alexandria?

I agree with cosmic girl. Penelope would be gorgeous!

Depends on your surname - if your chosen middle name begins with a vowel, it may spell a word, eg Olive Alice Fraser = OAF! Olive is lovely though, it was my lovely Mum's name.

Having read the above suggestions, all the ones with three syllables sound good!

I have met 2 little Olives.

One was Olive Olga. (Yes, really)

The other was Olive Lee.

OP- as n Olive Penelope Dunlop - no don't think that is too much at all.

Yeah, maybe not O.P.P... a.k.a. "Other people's pussy". As immortalised by "Naughty by Nature".

Penelope is lovely

CwtchyQ · 18/08/2016 09:25

Came on to say good for you for picking Olive - it's gorgeous

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 18/08/2016 09:30

I love Olive! Gorgeous name Smile.

I far prefer Persephone to Penelope personally. I think it goes better with Olive as well.

How about:

Olive Serena
Olive Josephine
Olive Estella
Olive Aurora

0pti0na1 · 18/08/2016 09:58

Olive Arabella would sound lovely, but you'd get the initials OAP...

Olive Aurelia
Olive Harriet
Olive Joanna
