I do indeed like it.

Alice definitely.

No

GeillisTheWitch · 01/10/2017 18:38

Alice or Olivia are nice, don't like Olive.

Happinesssssss · 01/10/2017 18:38

Really awful but popular on here.

MarthaArthur · 01/10/2017 18:38

I love Olive. Shes the main character in Gotham academy and is really cool.

HarrietVane99 · 01/10/2017 18:39

I much prefer Alice. Don't really like Olive/Olivia at all.

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 01/10/2017 18:39

Yes, I really like Alice, but love Olive! So cute on a child but also works on an adult imo.

RedBlackberries · 01/10/2017 18:40

No but I don't know why. Alice is a nice name.

MarthaArthur · 01/10/2017 18:40

Do you like the name Olive?

I love the name Olive

pumpkinpieinmyeye · 01/10/2017 18:43

I like Olive. Not keen on Alice personally, but it's certainly not offensive. Think it's the "lice" connection!

NuffSaidSam · 01/10/2017 18:45

I like Olive, but the popularity of Olivia would put me off using it.

Alice is nice too.

MsPassepartout · 01/10/2017 18:45

I don't like Olive as a name. I associate it with a fruit and a shade of green, neither of which I like.

Not so keen on Olive. I think it's becoming, or is, popular but it seems old fashioned to me probably because I think about Olive from On The Buses

toffee1000 · 01/10/2017 18:50

My favourite is Alice. I like Olivia but it is v popular. Olive I don't like as for me it's too old fashioned and I don't like the food either, it'd just have that connotation for me.

Our DDog is Olive Grin

NapQueen · 01/10/2017 18:51

I have used Alice as a MN and had dc2 been a dd she would have been Olive.

mrsfandt · 01/10/2017 18:51

I heard olive just this week on a little girl and I thought it was really lovely!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/10/2017 18:52

I don't like olive. Bland and frumpy.

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/10/2017 18:52

Love it! It's on my list

FurbysMakeSexNoises · 01/10/2017 18:52

I really like Olive

NameChangeFamousFolk · 01/10/2017 18:58

It's okay, I'm not crazy about it. I know three little Olives...I think it's gaining in popularity.

Alice is a lovely name, if you want something classic.
