Olivia Francis
Olivia Grace
Olivia-Grace
Olivia Kaida (Japanese)
Olivia Draig (Welsh)

I'm not Japanese but I like the look and sound of Kaida. I'm also not welsh but the father is and I like the idea of a name meaning dragon.

Olivia Frances

Or better still Francesca

Frances is lovely.

Olivia Frances

Hey Pompom, do you have lots of Alices and Phoebes too? Thanks

Olivia Grace or Olivia Frances (the female spelling)
Don't hyphenate.
I dislike the other two.

Olivia Grace was our girl choice for DS 16 years ago before it became super popular.

I prefer Olivia Frances from your list but due to the popularity of Olivia I would flip it and have Frances Olivia.

Have you considered Olive? Just different enough from Olivia and the 20 others in the class.

Just to say, I have never met a child called Olivia. Where are they all?!

Olivia Grace sounds best I think.

Olivia Frances is the nicest imo.

Maybe I am just unfamiliar with Ddraig as a name but I find the sound harsh and clunky.

I think it depends on where you are for how popular Olivia is. I work in a school and we only have one in the whole school.

Olivia Grace must be one of the most popular name combos in the last 10 years or so. It’s popular for a reason though... depends on how you feel about that.

The correct spelling is Draig, you can't just add an extra D, this only happens in Welsh as a mutation when the word comes after certain other words (for example, the dragon would be Y Ddraig, but Draig for dragon on its own).

It's pronounced dr-eye-g.

Olivia is pretty but too popular. Draig is awful! You wouldn't call her Olivia Dragon would you? So why lumber her with a middle name like Draig? I'm Welsh btw.

Draig isn't recognised as a name in Wales. And while I know it shouldn't matter what a child's name is, children can be really mean and she'd probably get some stick when other children realise she has dragon in her name

Draig isn't a recognised name - as it isn't one. It's like naming your child Teacup or Crocodile. If you want to use a Welsh name there are hundreds of real ones to choose from.

From your list Olivia Frances is nicest.

I know Olivia is very popular, but I've only ever met one! She's 17 now and has never had another Olivia in her class.

I've never heard of the name Kaida. Is it related to Kaede/a different phonetic spelling?

I like Olivia Francis. But Olivia is incredibly popular. How about Lydia Francis?

You can do better than Olivia Grace - Olivia tops the list of most popular girls' names - and Grace is one of three default, filler middle names. No originality at all.

So any of the others for me (assuming it's Frances, not Francis).

Olivia Frances sounds good.

I like the name Kaida! Would you consider it for a first name?

Olivia Frances

Or for a Welsh element I like Olivia Seren

NorthernLassie21 only 1 Alice and 1 Phoebe so not common. I'm in the South though. Most common is Olivia, Grace, Evie, Ava and Amelia

As pp have mentioned draig is a word, not a name and I don’t think it really works as a name.
