I used to think it was super ugly and that parents only used it because they wanted to actually use
Olivia but thought that was too common. But I watched a movie recently in which the main character was named
Olive and it has really grown on me. I love the -liv sound in it and I find that it is more noticeable in
Olive than
Olivia which I like. Also it's less frilly and very down to earth. I love how it makes me think of the color green and olive trees are among my favorite trees. I also love olives.
Also I noticed that I'm getting sick of pretty much anything ending in -a at the moment. There are just so many -a ending names in the top 100, and -e endings seem so calm and attractive in comparison to me now. I prefer
Eve over
Eva,
Belle over
Bella,
Diane over
Diana etc
Opinions on
Olive? The next trendy hipster name?
Olive or
Olivia?
