I am due in two weeks and really torn on girls names! My favourite is 'Olive' and i like 'Liv' as an abbreviation for when they get older, but i have come across so many negative comments about Olive i am doubting it now. Alternatives i have are Amelie and Madeleine, i wouldn't consider Olivia, because although it is a lovely name it's just too popular. Please help!! Thanks!

P.S - (If i go with Olive i think i will use Lily as a middle name).

Just read your message fully. Amelie is a beautiful name.

My MiL was Olive and to be honest I always thought of olive green, which is a pretty murky colour.
