Olive sounds quite ugly. Quite heavy. Penelope is gorgous and penny very cute.

I love Olive - that was the name we picked had DS been a girl! It was also my Nanna's name who was a lovely lovely person so it only has good memories & meaning for me.

Penelope. I really don't like Olive. Just sounds a bit.... ugly. Sorry.

If I'd had a girl I would have had an Olive, I LOVE that name Smile

However, I keep producing boys...

Penelope. We wd have chosen this gorgeous name, but coupled with our surname, it sounded like Penelope Pitstop, so we had to let the name go.

I prefer Penelope

Penelope is lovely!

Olive is beautiful.
She may sometimes need to explain pronunciation of penelopEE. (I thought the written name was penny-lope' for yearsBlush.)
Penny would be easier to deal with but it's less pretty than Olive, or even Liv, which she might also get.

Penelope - I love it

I love Olive, I think it is cute. It reminds me of the girl in little miss sunshine
