Both lovely but I think Elizabeth is a classic and beautiful name. I've heard of quite a lot of Olivia's which makes it a bit less special for me. Try out both names and see which you feel more comfortable and happy with

Olivia

(I also like Liv as a nickname, or even a standalone: meaning 'life', 'protection', 'shelter' by its Scandinavian roots).

Elizabeth definitely. Olivia was the number one name for years, there’s loads of them.

Elizabeth but only if you don't mind 'a liz' or 'Lizzie' or 'Betty' nickname as that will be inevitable

Elizabeth. Timeless and ageless classic. Was top girls name a few years back. It will date a whole cohort of girls.
