Help[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Olivia?
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
It's really, really popular here, has been. Popularity does influence my feelings on a name, because at a certain point I'm just "Enough! Enough already!" and then hearing it past that point just makes me sort of annoyed. I guess it just reminds me of how depressingly lemming-esque people really are.... Popularity is so varying and clustered though, so it could be that my corner of the world just really overindulged the Olivia-love.
Anyway, Olivia is pretty in theory, and if I try really hard to remember the way I felt when I heard it back before it was the name of every kid who wasn't Hannah, well, I suppose it's lovely even.
Like a song you liked when you first heard it, and then it was played to death on the radio to the point where you couldn't even stand to hear the opening notes.
