HelpUncommon O names (girl)
Really been loving less common O girl names lately. With Olivia being so popular, do you think O names will continue to increase in popularity? I know Ophelia, Opal, Olive, and Oakley are pretty popular but I’d love to see other O names being used.
Here are some of my favorites, do you see any becoming popular in the next few years?
Olina
Ottilia
Opaline
Olana
Ottilie
Odilia
Ottoline

I like all of the uncommon names you listed, but I doubt any of those will become popular in the US soon. I have a feeling that Opaline will start rising, and Ottilie is already boosting in popularity in the UK.

I like Olympia, Olwen, Oona, Odette, and Opaline.
Based on the top 1000, only Olivia is really popular, but Ophelia, Olive, Oakley/Oaklee/Oakleigh (several spellings), Oaklyn, and Opal are all top 500 and rising.
Ocean is also charting for girls.
I think Odette will become popular after the other ones.

Here are some I like, that are maybe a the more original side:
Océane / Océanne (was very popular in Québec in the 2000s. It's not pronounced like the word Ocean, more like Oh-SAY-ANNE. Rhymes with Anne.)
Odile
Olivine (like the gemstone, but was also used as a diminutive for Olive)
Olympe
Oksana (though not in my culture, I think it sounds so beautiful)
Oriana
Oriane
Orla
If you want really original there are these choices:
Ondine (from the Latin for ''wave'')
Orchidée (I've seen it online but not in real life. It's French for ''orchid'')

There is a corner of my heart that, for some reason, loves Opaline so much. But I don't see it getting too popular. It's a bit... wordy for a name. Though I guess that's just my personal preference, and there are plenty of word names out there.
I also like Odilia and Ottilia! Ottilia could have a chance.

My favorite is Oona!
Olena is extremely common name where I live. Mostly for adults, it is not so much used for kids now. I support bringing back name here for younger generations.
It also is wife of my country president name.
I checked data:
Olena was in top 5 baby name for girl from 1960-1995.
In 2013 there was 1058576 women called Olena who live in my country.

Where do your aunt come from?
When I was younger I had friend named Yelena. It is Russian version of Olena, because I lived in Russian speaking city. She would be Olena if she ever speaked in Ukrainian ^-^
There also is girl named Olena in one of my class.
I feel like here Alyona is more popular for younger generation.

Ophelia is one of my favorites! Olive is another nice pick.
I'm very sorry, but I personally don't enjoy any of the options below. My childhood best friend was named Ona though!
