HelpRe: Thoughts on the name Ollie for a girl?
in reply to a message by Guest
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.
