Are you referring to the restaurant in NJ that has closed? I worked there when I was younger! ...it also reminds me of the granddaughter Olga who was friendly, a bit overweight, wore alot of makeup and had some sort of drug abuse issue.
Generally the name makes me think of a tough, solidly built woman (of various ages). I think it could be revived with some style, but I don't think of it as a very soft name (but that may not bother you).

Olga Claire
Olga Maren
Olga Trinity
Olga Timea

It's a chain restaurant, I believe. I just googled it and I guess it's actually called "Olga's Kitchen." http://www.olgaskitchen.com/

But

there's only like, 25 or so Olga's Kitchens, and I think 22 of them are in Michigan. The rest are in Ohio and Illinois.

I never checked into it much. There's at least one in Grand Rapids and one in Lansing, and those are the only ones I've seen. I'm pretty sure there isn't one here in Kalamazoo/Portage.

oh, ok. I thought that might be too much of a coincidence. Oh well.
