How do you pronounce Olivia?

I dont like how it sounds when its said as "Oh-Livia"
I do like how it sounds if its said like "Uh-Livia"
How do you say it? just outta curiosity. It seems kinda stupid and like such a small thing,
but for some reason it really makes a weird difference to me :/ i dunno why.

I kinda have this same issue with my own name which is simply Tara :P
I have people say it either  like "Tear-uh" , "Taa-ruh" <--i prefer this one, and also like "Tar-uh" which I hate.

Also here are some of my top names:

Avery Carmella (Ava)
Tessa Carmella (Tess)
Leo
James (Jamie)

Whoa, really? I live in MA and never in my life have I heard it pronounced Oh-livia. Always always always "uh-livia."

Does that mean that people pronounce Oliver like "oh-liver" too and I'm just oblivious? Both of those names begin with "olive" ... like the food, and are pronounced as such.

Please excuse my total shock, hah.
