It's a lovely name Smile

One (and I work in a school).

Haaaarrrryyyy · 17/09/2017 15:27

5 adults 18-30s bracket, 3 primary age and a toddler that I can think of immediately. I know there will be more if I have time to think.

BenLui · 17/09/2017 15:31

One adult, one teenager both lovely.

BadTasteFlump · 17/09/2017 15:33

None. I really like it and would have considered it for DD if it hadn't sounded wrong with our surname.

Imabanana · 17/09/2017 15:33

Two, aged 18 and 13 . One nick named Livvy and one Lily. It's a lovely name. I really like Olive though.

AmysTiara · 17/09/2017 15:34

I'm amazed some of you are saying one. I know a gazillion. Seriously every other girl between 6 and 14 seems to be called Olivia round here.

I feel like it's a million. So many that I have completely gone off the name. Also, I would never give a child such a trendy, overused name, but that's me.

Ilovewheelychairs · 17/09/2017 16:40

At least one, and often two, in every class I've taught for the last couple of years. Both primary and secondary.

MammieBear · 17/09/2017 16:50

It's VERY POPULAR in Merseyside.

GoingRogue · 17/09/2017 16:52

3 under 7yrs.

shhhfastasleep · 17/09/2017 17:07

Gone off the boil here and rarely used. Ones I know are very nice.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/09/2017 17:07

One only.

mintich · 17/09/2017 17:08

One 13 yr old

pinkblink · 17/09/2017 17:11

Two under 5

Mrsknackered · 17/09/2017 17:11

3 in their 20's, 1 in her 30's.

One is always Oli, one is always Liv.

I love it and all it's nicknames.

Honkyzeke · 17/09/2017 17:13

Know of 1 Olivia, also know an Elivia which is a slight twist on Olivia and prettier I think.

Alisvolatpropiis · 17/09/2017 17:14

About 5. Two are in my daughter's ballet class so under 5.

holdthewine · 17/09/2017 17:30

Several but all in their 20s and 30s now. It was very popular where I live in the 80s and 90s. Lately I've come across a few little Olives but no little Olivia's though I do know a little Livia.

TitsalinaBumSqoosh · 17/09/2017 17:37

I have a 2yr old Olivia, I only know of one other. Mine only refers to herself by her middle name though which is always torn to shreds on mumsnet but everyone's contended on and calls her by it too.

Sophronia · 17/09/2017 18:06

One age 27 and one newborn

trilbydoll · 17/09/2017 18:07

Four under 6 but no adults.

Anatidae · 17/09/2017 18:08

None. Five olivers though (the oldest is almost forty.)
