Ollie - girl

[ZebraKid71]

My dh really likes Ollie for a girl.

I have come around to quite liking it but I don't like nn type names as formal names.
What else can Ollie be short for?
I don't really like Olivia, I don't mind Olive but it doesn't really need a shortening.

Any ideas? Tia.

Olwen

Can't say I like it though!

olena (ukranian)

Olyssia

Ozette

Ottaline

Olga
Olympia
Oleanna (was a stage play but I've never heard the name used otherwise.)

Ottaline is quite nice ( I think ) but not sure how you'd get Ollie out of it.

I know a girl called Ollie. Just Ollie, nothing else.

To be honest I wasn't sure at first, she was only 5 when I met her, but she's been rocking it through her teens and beyond!

Now I think it's pretty cool.

I also like Ollie as a stand-alone name for a girl!

Olalla

Olivera
Olivette
Olwen
Oleandra

Ottilie? Orla? Olenna?

Olathe means " Beautiful "in Native American. o-LA-tha.
Olena
Olefin
Oliana
Olinda
Olisa

Sorry. The third name is Olesia.

Boy's name.

Ollie can be short for

Olivia
Olive
Ottilie

I know a 14 year Ollie but don't know if it's short for anything or if it's her full name

I really like it for a girl, which is strange because I’m not that keen for a boy,

Oliver is literally the most popular boys’ name in the country. This may or may not bother you but be aware that your DD will be around a lot of Ollies as she goes through school and beyond.

Olivia is also the most popular girls name!

So lots of girl Ollies too.

I prefer it for a girl, it doesn't sound strong or masculine imo

But Olivias would normally be shortened to Livvy, not Ollie. Ollie just sounds quite masculine.

My friend recently named her daughter Olivia but she also calls her Oli - spelt like that.

I like Olympia the most of the suggestions. Unless you live there.

I know a couple of Olivias nicknamed Ollie. Nothing masculine about it imo.

I know an Olly who is really Alrene. Not sure I actually recommend it though.

But Olivias would normally be shortened to Livvy, not Ollie. Ollie just sounds quite masculine.

No, it's about equal I'd say, between Olly and Livvy.

I've never heard of Ollie or Olly for a girl - and I've been teaching for over 20 years so have come across hundreds of names. Sounds like a boy's name to me. I'm not keen on it for a girl - sorry.

It sounds like a perfectly normal nickname for Olivia and there's nothing masculine about it imo.

Ollie is nicer than Olly imo

I wonder if this is regional. I’ve been teaching for fifteen years and have never met a female Ollie. I’ve taught lots of Olivias, only ever shortened to Liv / Livvy / Livia.
