Its ok.
I like it a lot
Really cuteI have a friend named Collyn who goes by Olly occasionally :)
its cute, but you would want them to have a more feminine full name (Oliva, Olive, ect,)
It would be cute as a nickname for Olympia/Olimpia/Olimpiada and maybe even for Eulalia/Eulalie.
I really like it - but only as a NN. Same for a boy actually. It doesn't have the same ground as Molly, Sally or Willy because they actually have a longer history on the charts - but even those sound really child-like. Its few and far between when I see a diminutive ending in -y that I think would be "acceptable" as a legal name.
I'm sorry, but I don't like it as a full name. Perhaps, as a nickname for Olivia.
I hate it, really. I do like Oli (m) tho
Unattractive, but probably inevitable for people named Olive, Olivia or, of course, Oliver.
Maybe as a nickname, but definitely not a first name.
Either way I don't like it, not even as a nickname on a boy.
Fine as a nickname for Olivia, Olive, Olinda, Olwen or Olena.Ollie does sound very young so it's nice to give options just in case.
Agree totally.
Don't like it at all
I've never met one, but it sounds sort of like Holly or Allie, and I like those, so I assume I'd like it.

It's cute. I like it as a nickname for Olivia.
I think it’s adorable as a nn for Olive but on its own I don’t think it would age well, it sounds bit tacky and feels oily. But I would most importantly want the child to have the option of a full name (Olive, Olivia, Olivette) in the likely event that they don’t like it/grow out of it/want a more formal name.
The first time I heard Ollie on a girl was when a senior woman was running for an official title. I thought it suited her but I had a hard time seeing in on anyone else. Now I can see small children growing up with this name, and then growing out of it. If it were me, I would be Ollie to my loved ones but get upset if any strangers called me that. Olivette is nice! I don't like Olive or Oliver though. Thar's what's funny.
