Should we stay safe, or go for the name we love (that's seen as 'made-up' and 'chavvy')?

What the title says! I'd rather not say what the unusual name is, as it's rare. I like 1 spelling of it.

Or Olivia

I like Olivia, but love the other name. Should we just go for it?

We need to compare properly!

Depends what the other one is. No idea.

Is it Waynetta?

Shall we go for apples, or whatever is in this mystery box?

Go for Olivia. Don't risk it.

I could tell you what I think. But I'd rather not.
HTH

There was no children given this name in the U.K. last year, so you can see why I'm not keen on saying it.

I suppose I'm just asking would you go safe?

Hard to say without knowing the other name!

Stick with Olivia. Your dd will be eternally grateful!

Play safe, most unusually spelt or out there names are cute for a while then get very embarassing as the child grows and has to correct spelling/pronunciation constantly.

corlan
Or possibly Spudulike?

Whats the name?!!!!!

It's not hard to spell as such...

It's just not liked. Seen as 'try hard' when I'm far from trying to be 'cool'.

And the winner of most obtuse post 2017 is .....

Silly me! That was the normal spelling, it should have read Spudulika obvs!

How can anyone answer without knowing the name?

If it is an actual name but unusual for out country then that is fine. If it is made up or offensive then stick with Olivia.

Okay, clearly people are just going to comment unhelpful things.

Amberleigh.

No, I don't just want Amber and I don't want Leigh as a middle name it's either Amberleigh (which we have both fallen in love with) or Olivia (which we both think is nice) but we will probably always regret it

Olivia is boring. If you go for safe try a bit less safe than that.
Go on tell us the other name!

Oh god no
Sorry but no

Amberley would be a bit weird but maybe ok?

Have you watched the Shannara chronicles?

Definitely Olivia

It's awful.

Go with Olivia. Please, I beg of you.

Amberleigh is horrible. Amberly is better. Amber or Olivia is best though
