[Opinions] Re: Olive?
in reply to a message by V.
As nice as the name Olive may be, I think there could be a significant teasing potential--especially in elementary school (to a bunch of 8 year olds, the name is something you put on pizza, something you put on your finger tips for fun at Thanksgiving, or Popeye's girlfriend). That's not to say I don't like the name, it's just to say I wouldn't like having that name growing up. Since the name is meaningful to you, you might consider using Olivia as a fn (more familiar and less ready-to-eat than Olive) or you might consider using Olive as a mn. Eg. Catherine Olive.
