[Opinions] Better than Olivia by far and more antique(m)
As mainstream as Olivia is, I still find it matronly.I love olive trees and what they symbolise is lovely too. Olive, is simple, sweet and funky and I like it very much.While it's fine to only find it food like (I can understand that) I don't see how olive being a noun (colour, tree and food item) prevents it from being a "name". It's been used as a name for a long time. I haven't heard anything quite so ridiculous I'm sorry. Using that logic would mean many long used noun names would be non names too.

I agree.Olive is a great name. I really can't find fault with it.Sadly, I hate the taste of Olives, so using Olive as a name for a future daughter and then calling her namesake disgusting [which it is to me!] might not work. But it sounds great! :D

I don't like the fruit either. It's nasty!Just say it was for the beautiful tree and what it signifies ;) But, I understand. I don't touch olives myself. Yucky. Although, the oil is fine.
