It does sound pretty, but I can't see it as a name. It's the name of a mineral.

I prefer Olive, it's one of my favourite names. Olivia is fine too, but Olivine really isn't my cup of tea. It's too elaborate and it sounds like someone wanted to be original. "I'm too cool to use Olive or Olivia".

It's quirky. I don't think of it as a gemstone - it's more just a mineral. Sounds chemical too. It's usable, but I prefer Olive.

I think it's very usable. It's not a complicated or difficult name and I like that it brings an elegance to the simple Olive, and yet is a mineral name and hard as opposed to flowery.

My favorite alternative to Olivia and Olive is Olivette, but this is nice and could grow on me as well. I do wonder though, if she just ended up as Livvy or Liv if it would matter that it's a different full name.

Better alternative to Olive, yes, to Olivia no. Olive bad, Olivia good, Olivine so-so.

I think it's usable. It's a gemstone and a color. It would be an interesting but not trendy variation from Olivia, and sounds different enough to not be easily confused with Olivia when yelled on a playground. (different syllable is emphasized)

It sounds like some kind of sandwich dressing.

I like it. A cute nn would be Olivie.

I think it's usable and lovely!

I don't know, honestly. This name reminds me of Olivine City from the Pokémon games.
