My grandmother's name was Olave. She didn't like it so went by her middle name Christine but I looove it so much and in England granny chic is really in with names so the beautiful name Olive is being used so I think it should be used more. It doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

It is very nice. I like it more than Olaf because of the snow man association. But I don't like the nickname Olive since it's longer and more feminine.

I like this name. A cute nickname might be Olive. It gives me the the impression of a strong, rebellious (yet just) character because of the King of Devil's Island assosiation.

Olav was C1's name in King of Devil's Island, a Norwegian movie with Stellan Skasgard in it. Olav is the (mostly) rule-obeying boy. It is only near the middle-end that he becomes more defiant (yet just!)
