Anna or Olivia?
We have decided on Isabel Olivia for our DD (due July) but sometimes I feel like I would love to use Olivia as a first name for our next DD, but I LOVE Anna also.As usual we don't care about popularity, I know both of this are quite popular, especially Olivia. Which do you prefer?It's a GIRL! Our Princess is due July 27, 2005!

I love them both. Sorry. But I wouldn't recommend using Olivia for a first name if you are already using it for a middle name. That said, I LOVE the name Isabel Olivia!

I prefer Olivia to Anna. I think Isabel and Olivia would be great as a sib set. I actually think Isabel Anna sounds better than Isabel Olivia, sorry! I know you've decided, but that's just my opinion.

Anna is my favorite. Olivia, to me, is a prissy and snotty name.

Anna, hands down. I do not see the appeal in Olivia. Anna is so much prettier and elegant, I think.

I really detest both, but I think Olivia is better. Anna is up there with Madison on my list of least favourite girl names ever.Array

What if your other children are all boys? I say use Olivia for this one if it is your favourite combo. I think it goes better with Isabel anyway. Call your next DD Anna if you have one.

I love both Olivia and Anna. My two favourite girls names are Olivia and Annabelle :) I guess I like Olivia a little more than Anna. I would probably be inclined to save Olivia for another daughter. But I'm not sure - when you say you love Anna, do you mean as a first name for a second daughter or as a middle name for this daughter? Isabel and Olivia seem similar in style to me. Anna seems a little different, more simple I guess, but just as lovely. For that reason I think Isobel and Olivia would be nice as first names for sisters.

My sister is Isabel Anne :)I think Isabel Olivia is beautiful .. But if you really are planning on having more children and feel you will most likely want to use Olivia for another daughter then I would go for Isabel Anna Alice
