A lot are comparing it to Frozen, the cute, goofy snowman is a massive step up from the most famous bearer I knew as a kid, the murdering, cartoonishly evil Count Olaf from the Series of Unfortunate Events series. I would note though that if I had this name I’d probably mention that it was the name of a saint and many kings of Norway to add to the seriousness of the name.
I despise the movie Frozen which puts a stereotype that people with this name are strange at most times. But even without the movie, the name sounds immature. I would recommend using it as a nickname for Alefir instead of using it as a full name.
I can't hear this name without thinking of the annoying talking snowman from Frozen, Olaf. Just doesn't appeal to me.

I strongly associate this name with some evil antagonist, even without the infamous Series of Unfortunate Events. Olaf honestly sounds like some stereotypical name for perhaps numerous character villains.
Two words: Count Olaf. This association with the name makes it rather unappealing to me.

My assosiation of this name with Count Olaf makes it funny to me for some reason. I don't know why, as Count Olaf isn't a funny character. But it makes me laugh. There's just something inherently goofy about this name (no offense to anyone named Olaf).
