Which do you prefer
Olive or Olivia?

Olivia. Olive is a nice nickname for it, but it seems incomplete.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool, I'm trying to mull over names I've never thought about before. I don't really care too much for Olivia but Olive has a different feel to me.

really? I have belonged to this community for over a year and don't recall seeing this question posted?
I supposed I might have overlooked it once or twice if it was part of a larger post, but I don't think it has been posted numerous times.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

if I'm wrong though, please direct me to the previous posts as I am interested to know what people's thoughts are.

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

I agree with tryyingtoevolve!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool!
I'm not sure about my thoughts about these names. I'm just trying to "think outside the box" of my usual favourites.

Olivia.


Olive reminds me too much of popeye.

We used to call my sister Olive Oil because she had such skinny legs.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

haha
that's a cute nick name!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

yeah, my friend Sara used to be called that a lot for being skinny (with the exception that Olive Oil is Olivia in the italian version of Popeye). She didn't like it at all.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

It's funny because I've never liked Olivia, but Olive sounds to me much more accessible. I think I'm biased by the movie Little Miss Sunshine. That kid rocks!
I wouldn't use either, but I'd name the girl Olivia, because it's more formal, then call her Olive, and not just for short.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Oh I didn't even think of the character from Little Miss Sunshine!

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I think that's the first place I've ever heard it, at least as a name on its own

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

Olivia. Olive reminds me of Olive Hornby in Harry Potter I think. With that said, Olivia is one of the names I hate.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I don't love Olivia, but I know some people think Olive is incomplete.

[farawaysong.livejournal.com]

Olive. It reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine! I don't care for Olivia, mostly because of bad associations.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I think Olive is kind of cool sounding. But I'm ambivalent about Olivia.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Olivia.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Olivia.
Olive was cute in Little Miss Sunshine, but Olive Oil is too strong an association for me.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

but everyone LOVES olive oil.
j/k but I do love olive oil mmmmm

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Olivia. Even though it's the numebr 1 babyname where i live.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

yeah it's pretty popular that's one of the reasons that I was thinking "hmmmm Olive"

[samaside.livejournal.com]

Olivia.

[djador.livejournal.com]

My friend's name is Olivia and she always jokes that she was named after her Grandmother who was named Olive...but her Grandmother had changed her name to something else as soon as she turned 18! So she's named after her Grandmother..who apparently disliked her name enough to change it.

But anyway I prefer Olivia.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cute story

[godmod.livejournal.com]

Olive. I dislike Olivia

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool

[sailorneptune.livejournal.com]

These are actually the two names I am most debating with if we are having a girl.
I love both... but Olivia has become much too popular these past few years. I picked out the name a little over a decade ago, when it was virtually unheard of.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

yeah it is reeeeeally popular right now.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Even though its super popular I still prefer Olivia. Olive just sounds drab to me. Like a big fat woman with thick glasses and bad breath.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

well Olives are fat, oily and khaki green.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I used to LOVE Olivia...I guess I still do, but because of the trend thing...

Olive is very pretty too. I would consider it over Olivia actually.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Olive has a different feel than Olivia to me.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Olivia.
Olive just reminds me way too much of actual olives. I like olives, but to me it seems strange to actually call your kid that.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

haha my husband said the same thing when I asked him what he thought of Olive.

[kyo-o.livejournal.com]

Olivia! It's one of my favourite names =).

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

cool

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Olive!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO much better!

I know an awesome Olive, and there is that cute book "Olive the Other Reindeer!"

Olivia is overused and a little stuck up sounding imo.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I'm not too huge on Olivia but Olive has a totally different feel to me.
