What do you think of Olive as sibling for Sofia?

I’m really warming to it...just need to convince dp!
And think of a boys name....

I'm really sorry, but I think that Olive is awful. It's something you would eat, and it's the name of Popeye's wife. There are so many much prettier
names you could choose.

Agree Olive is awful

Francesca?

Sorry, really don’t like Olive. Agree Francesca goes well with Sofia.

Anna
Rosalyn
Isabel(la)
Beatrice (the Italian pronunciation- don’t know if that’s how you spell it)

I love Olive...it was my nan-in-laws name and she absolutely rocked so I'm biased.

There are Olivia's everywhere so it's that little bit quirkier and definitely better than a lot of the granny chic names out there atm.

Thanks for the recent messages!
I still like Olive but maybe not with Sofia.
I am thinking Luca for a boy! Worried about the upcoming Disney film making it really popular though!
Still stuck with girls names.

I have a baby Olive. I've scarred her for life according to these posters 😂 it's a marmite name I suppose but we gets loads of compliments whenever we introduce her. It's unique and I think it's very very cute. I don't regret it for a second and it suits her well. And she's definitely not a 'lumpy' baby 😂

I do think it doesn't have quite the same vibe as Sofia though so might be better suited as a middle name if you still like it!

Don't worry I have an 11 year old Olive and she absolutely rocks her name. She gets compliments all the time and I think it's the most beautiful name. There weren't many around when she was born but I know of a few more now. I love that it's different, but not that different and it's quirky but beautiful. And she is just like her name 😍
