Re: Olivia
in reply to a message by beethoven
I still like it. I liked Olivia ever since I met a friend's younger sister in high school who was very unusually named Olivia. I took it off my list when I started looking at popularities. The frequency of it would stop me from using it, partly because it has spawned those awful variants like Alyvia, but mostly because any classic name that gets popular takes on an air of "classy-ness statement" for me; it starts to sound too conservative for my comfort. I'd probably be more inclined to use Olive. But the name is still lovable. I have similar impressions about it to yours.
