I love it. It is among my favorite Greek names.

I love it!

I love it!
When I was six because I use to hate my name I had told to a teacher that my name is Olympia and when he saw me and my mother he told "Your daughter Olympia..." and my mother told him "I don't have a daughter named Olympia"

Olympia (Greek: Ολυμπία Olympí'a or Ολύμπια Olýmpia, older transliterations, Olimpia, Olimbia), a sanctuary of ancient Greece in Elis, is known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times, comparable in importance to the Pythian Games held in Delphi.

Olympias or Olympia (in Greek, Ολυμπιάς-Ολυμπία ; ca. 376–316 BC) was an Epirote princess, the fourth wife of the king Philip II of Macedon, the mother of Alexander the Great and queen consort of Macedon.

It's been growing on me lately too, though I still prefer Ophelia. I live in Washington as well, so it's the first thing I think of also, but it's not a bad association because I love Olympia, WA.

I think it's kind of pretty. Even if it didn't make you think of Olympia, Washington, it's still kind of a place (Mount Olympia).

I'd like it if it didn't belong to an awful Spanish teacher at my school. It's very unique and interesting!
