My boyfriend and I were pretty set on the name Olivia Jane for our daughter, who is due in October, but the name Sienna came up a long time ago and I just can't seem to let go of it. At this point she just feels more like a Sienna to me.

WDYT of this name? Any middle name suggestions? I'd like to keep the middle name short since her last name will be on the longer side (4 syllables)

That sucks! I would HATE if that happened to a name I loved. I don't mean that it should completely stop you from using it, and some people honestly don't care about popularity! I grew up a Jennifer of about 5 in my class and hated it. I always wanted something more unique.

I'm still considering using the name, just because I've been attached to it for so long, but it's also super important to me that my daughter feels like an individual and not just another "Olivia Last Initial"

We're kinda thinking we should just wait until we meet her. If she can't possibly be anything other than Olivia then that is what she will be.

I wouldn't let the possible popularity of a name put you off completely. I'm a Lauren born in 1980 with millions of other Laurens, and even growing up in a fairly large city with fairly large schools, there was never more than one other Lauren (if that) in my classes. I've never worked with another Lauren. It's entirely possible that your daughter would still be the only Olivia in her class.
