Olive

[agirlandherdog1234]

Love it. But does it just blend in with the ridiculously popular Olivia? Thoughts?

Must admit, makes me immediately think of Olive from the buses or Olive Oil from Popeye. As a colour it’s not particularly vibrant either. Olivia is much more elegant and nicer imho.

Absolutely awful OP, sorry.

Olivia is much more elegant and nicer imho. It is but there are so many of them.

Love it, I know an Olive in her late twenties and a few younger ones.

Love it!

Boring!!!

Really bad.

@MerryAndBrightLaLaLa It's a nice name but it's so overused that it looks like the parents couldn't be bothered. Her middle name is probably Rose, Grace or May.

Oh it’s awful to my ear. Very lumpen and drab.

I think it’s lovely.

Olive or Olivia?

It makes me think of olives, which I love but wouldn't name a baby that as i imagine big round shiny green/black/purple heads.

Wasn't keen at first after the (de)influencer Kate Hayes called her child Olive (or Oluffff in her pronunciation) but then my god-daughter called her daughter it and she's absolutely adorable...

I dislike it strongly 🫒

How come out of interest? I get the impression that it is a very marmite name!

@agirlandherdog1234 Olivia is nice but they're everywhere. Olive is drab and frumpy.

No

It’s a dreary and ugly name.

It sounds ugly and reminds me of an oily olive 🫒

I agree about Olivia. It is nice, but I like the retro vibe of Olive.
As I've said above I get the impression Olive is a very marmite name! That's the spice of life though ☺️

Gladys and Beryl have a retro vibe.

True that.
I don't feel its in the same league though

i have an Olive! she is 2 and half and everyone we've met loves her name! only 'older' people (i'm 28) have mentioned popeye or on the buses, we call her Bobs (started as ollibobs) ☺️

It was my first thought.

I really can’t stand Olive or Olivia. No idea how either became so popular.

Horses for courses I suppose.
