Olga?

[raindropsfallingdown]

I really love the name Olga but husband thinks it’s too ‘harsh’ but I disagree. I think it’s a beautiful name. Thoughts?

We had the same debate in our household. I love it. My partner really does not.

It's rather ugly. It's up there(or down there) with Agnes, Agatha and Margaret for me.

And Tabitha. I forgot that one.

I think it’s really ugly, sorry.

It's not for me.
However you will find everyone wont likes any name you pick. If you love it.. go for it!

Love it but do see it as a bit harsh
Can you go against the mumsnet rules and double barrel the first name such as Olga-Marie or something to make it more feminine

I don't like it, sounds like vulgar and the spelling reminds me of Ogre!

What about Orla? Sounds much nicer.

Absolutely beloved in Eastern European countries where the pronunciation of the “g” is softer than in English, more like OlgKa as one syllable no oL-Ga like in English.

it’s a bit old fashioned and I would only use if you have Eastern European or Russian heritage

It's an ugly name

I think it's ugly too I'm afraid. Reminds me of boggle and ogle.

I like it

Helga seems better and Magda is quite nice. Inga is nice too.
I don't like Orla other than in an irish accent, it seems so nothingy

I must have anti-g tendencies as Helga and Magda also sound awful to me.

It’s ugly I’m sorry OP - also very dated. What about:
Anika
Astrid
Olia
All ‘strong’ names but not ugly.

I don’t mind Olga , but probably prettier names out there for me.

I like it

What about Helga?

Ugly! Sounds like a large Viking.

Hilda

I like the similar suggestions of Helga and Hilda!

Hilda. Bloody hell.

Ahh interesting. Any more opinions?

Yep, v ugly

How about Oona ?

Or Olwen?

There is no name dilemma to which Olga-Marie is the answer..

Not a fan sorry
