For a girl (obviously). Thoughts?

Beautiful!

Lovely

I LOVE this name! It's a name I like on it's own but also all of the nicknames for, Olly, Liv and O :)

Really dislike it, find it frumpy and drab, personally.

DaisyThistle · 24/07/2023 20:46

Not keen. It's a murky green or a salty snack. Also makes me think of Olive Oil, Popeye's girlfriend.

I like a lot of nature names but not this one.

But if you love it, go for it. A stranger's taste doesn't matter at all.

JellyDeels · 24/07/2023 20:49

Don't like it, can't understand the hype for this name. It's a food. Or a horrid shade of green.

Assignedtoworryyourmother · 24/07/2023 20:49

Awful. There's nothing attractive about the name at all and my mind conjures up a very unattractive child. Plus it's a hugely popular dog name near me, so even worse for a child.

Carsarelife · 24/07/2023 20:53

I like it and always have. Pretty name

schnubbins · 24/07/2023 20:58

Absolutely awful. There're so many beautiful names .This is not one of them.

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 24/07/2023 20:59

Love it!

Olika · 24/07/2023 21:00

I like it but not sure if it's a good name in a long run.

GreenMarigold · 24/07/2023 21:04

Sorry, to me it’s a rather drab name.

thebloodycatwontstopmeowing · 24/07/2023 21:06

Sorry I really dislike it. An old person's name for me.

Jongleterre · 24/07/2023 21:08

No.

Babybabybabyy · 24/07/2023 21:09

How random.. this name popped up today on my Facebook. Don’t be put off by this 🙈 It was actually a post that someone had called their dog Olive but it stopped me in my tracks and I thought what a beautiful baby name. Olivia is also beautiful but very very popular so Olive has a bit of a different twist 😊

Songlines · 24/07/2023 21:10

Love it ❤️

WinniePig · 24/07/2023 21:19

I really like it!

SoSoSoSo · 24/07/2023 21:20

It's incredibly ugly.

LobsterCrab · 24/07/2023 21:22

Love it.

blackrabbitwhiterabbit · 24/07/2023 21:22

Love it

Olika · 24/07/2023 21:23

Olivie perhaps?

Ywudu · 24/07/2023 21:23

Love it

imbolic · 24/07/2023 21:28

I am old enough to have had elderly relatives called the names that are popular now, so they seem really fuddy-duddy to me, LOL. There was Cousin Olive (about 70 when I was born) and her sisters, Cousins Ethel, Maud and Cora - I had to address them as "Cousin" to be respectful.

dressedforcomfort · 24/07/2023 21:29

Lovely!
