I've always thought of it as very posh but now it's so popular has it become a bit...well... common? As in opposite of posh

I don't know any young ones at all and I have a 20 month old

It’s painfully overused at this point. In much the same way Sarah has been in the past. Nice name rendered boring by sheer exposure.

Aurelia has a similar vibe but is more unusual.

It is very popular but I wouldn't consider it to be "common"

Majority of Olivias I know are from fairly middle class, respectable families

@Tourmalines , I didn't agree with @PurpleChrayne 's post, but I don't like people's comments being described as 'stupid' or 'ridiculous'.

Welcome to the real world .

Fairly popular, lovely name

One of the most common - I'm in the US and I feel like all baby girls are either Ava, Amelia or Olivia

No just Uber popular - like Sarah or Emma in the 70s/80s
