Olly Rae and Ella Mae make me very sad indeed.

SO. MANY. OLIVIAS. O___O
And then Ophelia, which I like, but now see as being a possible choice for those who might want something close to, but not quite Olivia...

---

The only one I'm getting any feel for is Ottilie. I'm not a fan of the 'Dar Rittner' bit, but Ottilie Elizabeth is nice and classy. Orla is okay, but Evie? Ophelia Rose is nice, but Rose is obviously becoming the filler name du jour, something I do myself I must admit. If in doubt, dump Rose in somewhere. Grace, ditto. Olivia Niamh is not that nice, way too 'v' sound heavy, but it looks nice written down.

---

AND THEN OLIVER!

---

Okay, until this dies down, I'm capping Olivia and Oliver on my names-I-could-use-somewhere list. Because...well, look at it.

---

Oliver Christopher is acceptable. Olly Rae and Ella Mae made me sad.

---

I love Oscar soooo much as a name, but please, please, why London? I mean...

I love Oscar, but not Oscar London.

---

Olivia is sooo boring! And sooo popular! Especially Olivia Grace. However, there are some nice interesting middle names here like Primrose and Niamh which spice it up a little.

---

Ophelia is unusual and pretty, but I don't think it goes with Bo.

I like:
Oliver Edward, cousins Alasdair, Finlay
Otis, sibling Rudy - awesome sib-set

---

Olivia, sisters Matilda and Imogen
Olivia, brother Woody - hoping Woody is a nn for something, but I still adore it
Olivia Rose
Ophelia, sibling Bo
Orla
Ottilie Elizabeth

Wow, so many Olivers and Olivias! That makes me sad because I love Oliver. Olly is so bad for a fn, imo, and Olly Rae and Ella Mae is even worse. Egads!

I like:
Oliver Edward
Oliver Thomas
Oscar London

GIRLS:
Olivia Catherine

Olivia Grace

Olivia Lily May
Olivia Louise
Ophelia Rose

I don't like:
Olly Rae is way too nicknamey. Plus Ella Mae & Olly Rae are way too cutesy & similar as siblings; it seems really twinny actually
Otis Howard - feels very dated & hillbilly

Thrilled about Ottilie and Ophelia

---

Happy to see that Olivia-Jean's parents went with a double fn. At least they can call her OJ instead of Olivia A.

I like Otis & Rudy as sibs and Ophelia, Orla & Olivia-Jean
