[Opinions] Olympia
WDYT of Olympia?
It’s always somewhat appealed to me, I think the “limp” sound keeps me away.
Would you prefer Ollie / Oly or Pia as a nickname? Or would you pick a different one?
Put together a couple combos if you want to, they’d be greatly appreciated. :)

It strikes me as pretentious and affected. The "limp" part never really bothered me, though.
The limp part used to bother me but doesn't anymore. It's one of those names that my opinion flipped on (positively) as soon as I heard it IRL. It is grandiose, though - in the style of Victoria, Augusta, Gloria.
I wouldn't use a NN. If I had to, Pia seems the intuitive one.
I like it paired with
Jane, Janet, Niamh, Cerys, Shirin, Loveday, Epiphany, Prosper, Parisa, Carmen, Carmelita, Marigold, Celeste, Iris, Amaryllis, Abigail, Eve, June, Larkspur, Ingmari, Ingrid, Jessie, Jessamine, Jasmine, Parthenope, Nightingale, Lorelei

I don't care for it.
dont like it at all
Olympia is a decent name at most. I didn’t even notice the “limp” part until you told me.
Olympia is a great name - the "limp" part has never even stuck out to me.
Years ago I knew an Olympia (only one I've ever met) who went by Oly (long-O sound), though personally I'd go for Pia if I were to use a nickname at all.
Olympia Naomi
Olympia Rose
Olympia Silvana / Olympia Sylvana
Olympia Silvie / Olympia Sylvie
Olympia Silvestra / Olympia Sylvestra
Olympia Lindsay / Olympia Lindsey
Olympia Larisa
Olympia Fae / Olympia Fay / Olympia Faye
Olympia Nimue
Olympia Niamh
Olympia Maris

The exhibition centre in London would put me off!
I’m American, I’ve never even heard of the exhibition center, hehe
I hate when cool names are ruined by things like that though.

I like it. A lot of feminine O names appeal to me. Never even noticed the "limp' thing. I would not use a nickname.
