Ollie for a girl?

[izziefrost]

Full name will be Olive.

Yep. Sounds good to me

Lovely

Ollie cute non. Not too keen on olive, whereas love Olivia.

Cutenickname

My DD is Ottilie and my FIL cannot wrap his tongue around it so calls her Ollie, to me though it just sounds (for a girl) like some uneducated person who cannot say Holly. I really really dislike it, there is no-one else than my FIL who can get away with calling her that.

Love Olive and Ollie is a cute nn. Think I prefer Liv or Livvy though (and so might your DD - just a thought, in case you have your heart well and truly set on Ollie, in which case I'd go with Olwen nn Ollie).

I adore Olive - may use it myself if I have another girl and do think Ollie is a lovely nickname. People will assume Olivia though

It's cute. Olive is nice as a full name.

I always imagine being called the name, can't see myself as an Olive at any given age.

Ollie maybe.

I prefer Olivia, but it's OK.

I like Olive but prefer Ottilie. Why not wait and see what nickname evolves naturally?

Love it

There are loads of girls called Olivia around the age of my DC and I know a fair few who use the NN Ollie.

So people might assume she's Olivia in full, rather than Olive, but it won't come across as unusual.

Does anyone ever use Olave (as in Baden-Powell) these days?

Olive and Ollie are both awful in my very humble opinion. Olive is dowdy and Ollie is a bloke's name. Olivia/Liv are so much nicer.
