No I really don't like Olive
I don't like Olivia either (though I know many do since it's so popular)
I like Alice

MollyHuaCha · 01/10/2017 19:08

I like it.

Love Alice.
Olive was my great grandmas name & I think it's so classy!

Pemba · 01/10/2017 19:17

No Olive is not an attractive name. See stop's picture above. Olivia is nice, though.

Alice is lovely.

Olive always makes me think of the little girl from Little Miss Sunshine. I think that's why I like it so much. So cute.

I LOVE olive to bits

NC4now · 01/10/2017 19:22

I think of Olive from On The Buses.

I love Olive - it was my grandmother's name. It's less common among babies than Alice (the ones I know anyway!).

NuffSaidSam · 01/10/2017 19:23

Olive from On The Buses looks like what Olive from Little Miss Sunshine would like when she was grown up.

Howsthings1234 · 01/10/2017 19:23

Love both names!

ScaryMonstersAndSuoerCreeps · 01/10/2017 19:24

This...... Sorry!!!

MummyPenguin2 · 01/10/2017 19:28

I love Olive! I would have loved to call DD olive, but DH wasn't keen. Alice is a bit too overused now.

SilverLinings2014 · 01/10/2017 19:29

Love it. Although I'm biased as it's my DDs middle name.

FizzyGreenWater · 01/10/2017 19:29

No, not keen really. However I strongly dislike Alice too!

justnippingin · 01/10/2017 19:31

I like it, a lot!

MadisonAvenue · 01/10/2017 19:34

Not at all keen on it, although very slightly prefer it to Alice.

euanthesheepiloveyou · 01/10/2017 19:39

I do. Much prefer it to Alice, which is just meh. And Olivia is way too popular. Olive is cool with some nice potential shortenings - Liv, Olly, Livvy...

timeismovingon · 01/10/2017 19:42

No because it reminds me of Olive Oil and Popeye

sunshinestorm · 01/10/2017 19:44

I love Olive! Old-fashioned (in a good way) and far less common than Olivia or Alice

PandaCat · 01/10/2017 20:16

I like Olive, but I do prefer Alice. My DD is called Alice though so I am biased.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/10/2017 20:22

I do like Olive, but prefer Alice.

Fishcalledlola · 01/10/2017 20:23

Olive is really cute and I think it ages well.

DramaAlpaca · 01/10/2017 20:24

Love both Olive & Alice.

Igottastartthinkingbee · 01/10/2017 20:24

Yes, love Olive!
