"Im 12 and I really like my name. There are so many fun nicknames that i'll get called like 'Livy', 'Liv' 'Olive' (just to tease) and even 'Pookie' by my dad and big brother. (My brother usually says 'pook' and 'livy' instead. people used to spell my name 'oliva' but they dont anymore" Oct. 7, 2020: 
"My name is Olivia and I really love it. I have to admit, growing up I HATED my name but now, I've learned to love it. There's a lot of cool nicknames that come along with my name. Quite a few, actually: Liv (most common), Livi, Livia, Via, Olive, O-Town (Don't ask), Oli (Pronounced Oh-Lee), Ollie (pronounced Ah-Lee), and my favorite one that my dad calls me Livi Lu. Yes, i do wish my name was a bit less popular so it could be unique, but it is what it is I guess. However, ironically, I only know 1 other Olivia. Haha! Anyways, get this to the top so people can see why my name is AWESOME!!!" Nov. 25, 2019: 
"This is my daughters name. She was born in Western New York in 2005, right before the name boomed in 2009. Her middle name is Ray (spelled the male way), she's named after her grandfather." Nov. 14, 2015:

"My name is Olivia. Its a great name! Most people get it right. But every once in a while my friends get it wrong but I always help them when they need help. But if you take my opinion you probably would pronounce my name oh-liv-eeh-ah (olivia)." Jan. 13, 2015:

"My name is Olivia and I love it!! Even though it is a popular name right now something about it is just so unique and special. I draw and play piano. Sometimes when I am playing or humming songs for the piano others will make up lyrics for it and it has my name in it every other line. People call me Liv, Livy, and Miss Olivia. My teachers think it is fun to improvise for unknown words to a song and sing about me. They also love saying my name with a british accent. It is really funny and entertaining. The only thing that bugs me though is sometimes people will sing my name to the activia commericials. Do I look like a digestive yogurt to them?!?" Jan. 16, 2011: 
"My names Olivia Skye, and everyone just calls me Livi. I don't hate my name, but i don't like it either. I HATE being called Liver and Olive though, it really agitates me! And same when people write it as 'Oliver'. I really don't see how you get Oliver out of "oh-liv-ee-aH. And to a comment before mine, i don't see how the nicknames are embarrassing?" Jan. 12, 2011: 
"I picked the name Olivia for a daughter when I was 14. I have always thought it was beautiful but my brother had a daughter one year before I did and he named her OLIVIA! What a jerk. I still named her Olivia and it annoys me when people shorten it. She had a teacher once who called her "Liver". Why would you abbreviate such a gorgeous name?" Jan. 11, 2011: 
"my name is olivia and im 14
i love my name because all my friends always say how awesome it is
im also a drawler and olivia is a really good name to work with
i know "olivia" is an elegant name and whatever but i like to switch it up a bit and it is totally cool. so if i am in a girly mood i can draw it with a bi=unch of pretty stuff or i can rock it out with stars!!
i totally recomend this name because it is a cute name.
i also spell it different when i feel like making people laff.
Oh-Live-Ee_Uh
bet you never thought of that :))" Dec. 22, 2010: 
"I am an Olivia! My best friends usually call me Liv, and that's what I like to go by. My little brother, my weird friends (sometimes), and some of my aunts call me Livy. I used to want to go by Livy, but now it sounds kind of babyish. (I'm in 7th grade.) Or some people just know me as 'The Nerd' (which my friends and I take as a compliment), or 'The Writer' (which is exactly what I want to do for a living: WRITING ROCKZ!) Recently, some toy company came out with these new dolls called 'Liv Dolls', and it drives me INSANE whenever someone sees me and starts singing the commercial jingle, "Liv, liv, liv..." My stupid gym teacher calls me Olivia Newton-John. One of my friends calls me Olive, but she's funny, so I don't mind too much.
What's EXTREMELY annoying though, is the fact that I've had ONE person (not an adult) spell my name correctly the first time, without asking how. Everyone always writes 'Oliva', or 'Olivea'! It's SOOO frustrating!
Anyway, I love my name, mostly because of the nickname Liv. I really hate how popular the name has become, though. At least there's only one other Olivia at my school." Dec. 3, 2010: 
"So my name is Olivia. Of course :) and I love it! I had a Russian skating instructor and he pronounced my name like Ol-eee-via. I thought it was pretty cool :)
My nicknames are: Olive,O-squared(thanks to my gym teacher), Olie, Oli, Liv, Via(not much though), Livvy, Libby, Livia. I like all my nicknames though :)
The only problems are that my cousin is named Oliver, but that's not TOO much of a problem. And then there's this girl I know named Lydia and when our diving coach called one of our names we'd both be like "What?"
I love the name though! :D" Nov. 18, 2010: 
"Hey! My name is Olivia and I was born in 1988 when the name wasn't so popular as it is now. I really do love my name and I was named after Olivia Dehavilland from Gone With the Wind, My mother's favorite movie! I do live in Atlanta Ga so I kinda makes sense. I just hate how popular the name has gotten." Nov. 11, 2010: 
"Hello, my name is Olivia, and I LOVE my name. I like it because not too many names start with O. Although my mom calls me O-livia. Some of my friends call me Uh-livia. My Aunt Beth calls me Liv. And some of my other friends call me Olive. I really like the name Olivia." Sep. 21, 2010: 
"my name is olivia and i totalley love the name i used to be called liv but then i met one of my best friends and her real name is just plain liv so i stoped having people calling me that i also have another good friend named olive and a nother friend named olivi ajust like me our teachers always get our names mixed up its crazy but super fun" Sep. 15, 2010:

"My name is Olivia Lauren. I've been acting in and out of Canada since I was small. When my name is known, people compliment on how strong and beautiful it is. I agree- the more and more women name their child Olivia is annoying. I feel their are not many girls that look 'the part' of the name.. It is such a girly name!" Jun. 3, 2010: 
"my name's olivia and i love it! it's the only name thatsuits me. the only bad thing is, it's used WAY too much!" May. 1, 2010: 
"I love the name Olivia, just had a daughter in 2009, did think of calling her Olivia because it was so unique, but my younger daughter said there are two in her brownies and two at school already. With such a beautiful name I guess everybody wants it." Apr. 11, 2010: 
"I have a friend named Olivia. Her middle name is Hollie-Rose. It's not too popular here in new zealand, but i know it's popular in England, which was where she was born.She is either called Libby or Livi, with the shortened versions Lib or Liv. I love the name, but she hates it." Mar. 28, 2010: 
"I'm 30 years old and my name is Olivia. Growing up, I was the only one I knew with that name, and I hated it because I wanted to have a popular name like the other girls at school. As I got older I started appreciating its uniqueness, and then it became a common baby name so now I dislike its popularity! I'm called Liv, Livi, Olive, V, Olive Oil. It's often spelled incorrectly as Oliva, which drives me crazy! But I love that its meaning is peace." Mar. 17, 2010: 
"I'm 11 and my name is Olivia. I used to think it was ok but now i love it because it's become popular which means loads of people like it!

"I named my daughter Olivia (born in 2009). Olivia is the only girls name we could agree on - and we picked it in 2003 when I was pregnant (I had a boy, so held onto the name). Everyone tells me its a beautiful name and I don't know any other children with her name (so far). I like it as I am from a Greek background and no one has issues pronouncing it. We tend to call her Liv or Livia." Jan. 3, 2010:

"My name isnt Olivia but I would name my daughter Olivia if I ever have one. I would name her that after Olivia Benson off Law and Order Speical Victims Unit because she is very strong and smart and i would want my daughter to be like that. If i wanted it to be unique i would name my daughter Mariska after the actress(Mariska Hargitay) who plays her character." Dec. 15, 2009: 
"My name is Olivia and have always loved my name, though I had a hard time learning how to sign it when I was younger... It's quite a curvy name! Family and friends have a small variety of nicknames for me. Livi (Livvy), Libby, Ollie and Olive Oil." Nov. 22, 2009: 
"Named my daughter Olivia, she was born in 2003. I usually call her Livi. Didn't realize how popular the name was...I thought I was being somewhat unique with the name until we started seeing the name everywhere. I go the idea for her name from Olivia Newton John (she ended up being born on her b-day), but think it may be popular now because of the Olivia books, and Law and Order." Oct. 29, 2009:

"My daughter's name is Olivia. It was quite rare when she was born. It seems to me that one book about a pig and BAM the name is top ten. There are now WAY too many little Olivias running around now.
With a four syllable name it is hard to get her attention when you call across a soccer field. So we came up with a 1 syllable name for her which I think is unique; we've called her smO' ever since since was little." Jun. 15, 2009:

My daughter is 6 and also has huge brown eyes and a beautiful face. She has a few nick names, Livy, Livia. I tend to call her Lee Lee.
