Olive Edith?

[ekm21]

About to TTC baby number 2. Pretty set on a boys name, and quite like Olive for a girl (have another DD with an oldie style name)

Thoughts on Olive Edith? Or any other old fashioned suggestions? I like two syllable middle names (not sure why!)

its a bit of a tongue twister!

olive amelia
olive Charlotte
olive Margot
olive Beatrix
olive stephanie

I like it!

The middle name being more than one syllable is good. I find the one-syllable ones sound like a filler middle name.
I'm not keen on Olive or Edith but maybe that's an age thing

I actually love it! It's a very unusual combo, don't think I've ever come across it before. It is ever so slightly clunky but not too much, and I think that's its charm (to me).

I only like olive in a salad… it’s an old lady step too far for me

Edith is lovely though

Olwen?
Jocelyn
Frances
Thora
Oona
Ida
Constance..

I like both names very much, but not together. There's something just a bit too clunky that I don't like.

I think choose one as a first name, then a longer name for a middle name. I love a pp's suggestion of Constance, gorgeous name:

Olive Constance
Edith Constance

Olive Catherine
Edith Catherine

Olive Elizabeth
Edith Elizabeth

Olive Josephine
Edith Josephine

I like both names. For me, though, I always feel that a middle name sounds best if it's a different number of syllables than the first - that's just my opinion though! So I'd either go for a one or three-syllable name.

Love them both. We have an Eadie in our circle.Someone we know has a Cybil which is adorable x we also know a Pearl ❤️❤️

I prefer Edith to Olive . I just don’t get the appeal of Olive at all . I don’t think Olive Edith flows at all well

I don’t think they go together at all, sorry.

I like it

I like it! If my DS had been a DD we had chosen Olive Elspeth.

Edith is too strict with Olive, I feel.
I would choose a more animated name..
Olive Kitty
Olive Nancy
Olive Allegra
Olive Matilda
Olive Lila
Olive Kirsten
Olive Tina
Edith Olivia

I think Edith Olive flows better, but I do like Olive as a first

Margot
Maeve
Iris
Celeste
Violet
Enid

The thing about Olive Edith is that both names are from the same style/age so if this goes out of fashion (again) or she doesn't like it the options are limited. Both are very in fashion at the moment btw
Olive Elizabeth has more possibilities for example.
I had a great aunt olive and I remember as a child thinking it was an ugly name reminds me of a dirty green and small black/green things. So perhaps I'm bias here.

It doesn’t flow well.

I prefer Edith and a longer middle name.

Edith Catherine
Edith Constance

I love Edith, not keen at all on Olive, maybe because I hate olives! Olive Edith does flow to me though depending on what your surname is.

I like them both in their own right but together they just don't flow.

Agree with a PP who said about middle name having different number of syllables to first name. It just works better, IMO.

I don’t think they go together unfortunately.

Olive is quite common, Olivia is terribly common, but still i know a couple of little Olives. Are you happy with that? Would you mind her being Olive A or Olive B?

Thanks everyone. I’m sure set on Olive as it has a family connection, middle name I’m open to, thanks for your suggestions and thoughts

*more set!

I really like Olive - it’s just the middle name doesn’t sound right to me.
