Olive

Honest opinions of this name for a baby girl?

Sorry, I think it is a really ugly name, like Maude. That's just my opinion though, plenty of people seem to like it.

Not keen at all, sounds frumpy

It's a gorgeous name. I love it x

I wasn’t keen but I’ve just been watching a show called Manifest where one of the main characters is called Olive and it’s really grown on me. And had nn is Ollie which I think is super cute!

I love the name. I think of Olive the little girl in "Little Miss Sunshine ". My dog is called Olive because of it but don't know if that helps!!

We liked it for a middle name but I hate the taste of olives and it’s not the nicest colour.
I since found out it’s my Grandmother’s middle name though so kind of wish we’d used it!

My best friends daughter is called Olive :) beautiful name.

On the Buses!!

I quite like it, but I would be hesitant to use it, I think it would take a strong personality to carry it off... I would not have enjoyed being associated with small, round and green when I was a teenager. Plus, sorry to say this, but what if anyone made horrible innuendo jokes about stuffed olives? I know most people wouldn't, but it could be miserable in the school playground if they did.

I'm not a fan, sorry. It's a vegetable. And the colour olive isn't particularly nice either. It's definitely unique and easy to spell, but not feminine or pretty at all in my opinion. I much prefer Orla and Octavia as alternatives to Olivia.

Lol at kids making jokes about stuffed olive...-isthisthemostmiddleclassthingiveeverread- Really?!?

It's a beautiful name.

Absolutely love it! Hubby didn’t though :(

Makes me think of the girl in Little Miss Sunshine and she’s so cute

@FruChoc you’ve just made me laugh out loud. Spot on.
Such a beautiful name! Wish it was my name.

Olive is mainstream enough now that I think it’s as likely as almost any other mainstream name to be the topic of teasing

Olive is a bit of a funny one. I really want to like it, and I sort of do, but I also find it frumpy and ugly as others have said. I think I’d be excited if I met a little Olive, but I wouldn’t name my own child that. When I imagine a young Olive, I picture someone intelligent, artistic, kind, maybe living on a narrow boat... all very positive.

It's ugly and frumpy.

I know a baby Olive.

I think it’s lovely

I like it x

One of my favourite names - so wish I’d been able to use it

I don't like it, sorry. I think it's a marmite name.

I love olives (the food) so it has too much of an association with that for me.

Can't bear it. It sounds ugly and it brings to mind a nasty colour and a nasty food. Nothing going for it at all.

I've got an olivia and we all call her olive it actually really suits her she's been called olive right from birth Xxx

I like it. What about Pearl?

Blimmin awful is my honest opinion. I know an Olivette who is pretty kickass.
