due towards the end of the year, which do you prefer? I’ve always loved olive but liking ivy now too! Worried I’ll regret not using olive though…

Don’t people think of 🫒 when they hear olive?

Pemba · 13/05/2025 16:14

Don't like either of them. Olivia or Iris maybe?

Olive always makes me think of popeyes gf ‘Olive -Oil’
and/or
’Big Olive’ who used to pop up in lots of Billy Connelly jokes !

Both are such dull, drab and ‘brown’ names.

If you've always loved olive then maybe that but Olivia has been enormously popular over the last couple of decades and may be a bit close

Irises are really pretty. I saw some today and though of this thread!

Both shades of green though

Don't like either but a PP suggestion of Iris is pretty and more unusual

Neither.
