"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:

"I hated the name "Olivia" as I was growing up, I hated the way people was pronounce it "O-livia". I love it when they know to, pronounce it Uh-livia! I, too, was named after Olivia DeHavilland.

"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.

"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.

"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.

I also really love all my natural given nicknames- liv, and livvy. I have been called Alivia before and it drives me crazy!! OLIVIA is soooo much better and stands out. Olivia tends to be a very descriptive name in that it shows a outgoing person. I am 17 and I had always thought my name was the best haha.. It is a good name to grow up with because it fits all ages and stages of life. Olivia is a name to never be forgotten :)" Feb. 19, 2009:

Also if you think Olivia is getting too wildly popular for your own taste, there are tons of nicknames for it. I'm called Via, Liv, Livy, Livia, and Olive by different friends and family members. Oh and to make the name even more unique, Shakespeare was the first to use it. In his play, "12th Night" Olivia is a beautiful main character of the play." Feb. 3, 2009:

"Hello! My name is Olivia. (duh!) And I really love it! For a really long time I wanted to change it 'cause I hated it so much! But when I learned that I was the only Olivia out of our school of 600 kids I found out that it was really uniqe. I don't like it when people call me Ollie or Olive. It doesn't really bother me that much when people spell it wrong or when they pronounce it wrong. But I hope that all you Olivias out there that hate your name will learn to like it someday!" Dec. 26, 2008:

"I called my daughter Olivia as when my daughter was born there were 5 generations and I thought it was very appropriate and special to be named after the oldest member of the family. I did think Olive sounded a bit too old for a little girl so I updated it a bit. My Olivia is pronounced with Oh not o if you get me lol and we usually call her livi for short. I know the name has become more popular but it is a good name to have as when she is little or a teenager it can be shortened to lots of cool names and when she is grown up it sounds like an adult name. I love it and I am sure my little livi will too." Nov. 23, 2008:

I romised myself that if i ever had a baby girl i would name her Olivia (but nickname her Livy)" Jul. 6, 2008:

"This is my favorite female name. If I have a daughter this will be her first name. It conjures nourishment (olive trees, olive oil), peace (olive branch), and sounds mature and dignified. I like that it is somewhat rare and sounds a bit old fashioned but it nice for modern times too. I like the letter O because it's circular and represents something whole and unending, and I like the nickname Liv (like "life"). Olivia is a fabulous name!" Jun. 26, 2008:

It's common for people to pronounce it "Ahlivia" but I make a point to pronounce the "O." We haven't come up with a nickname for her, other than "O" My mother-in-law calls her "Livy" which I am not crazy about.

I don't really have nicknames for Olivia besides my family, who call me "Ollie". I have been called Little O before, and once, a teacher mistakingly called me Oliver. But other then that, nothing. Oh yeah, Olive once or twice. What do people think of Liv? I like Livvy better." Jun. 20, 2007:

"My name is Olivia, [Olivia Nicole] I'm 15 years old. I didn't like my name when I was younger, because I didn't know anyone else with the same name, but now that's why I like it. For example I know like three Sarah's, and it gets confusing, I think her name is lovely, just rather common. At my old high school there was only one other girl named Olivia, and one Olive. At my current high school, I'm the only Olivia. When I was younger I'd go by livvy, but usually people now only call me Liv. Except for my one friend who calls me Libby, which I didn't really understand since my name has no b in it, but after reading this and seeing other people have been called that, I guess it's not that weird. xD I have been called Olive, and I hate that nickname, I don't know why, it just sounds very ugly. I prefer to be called Liv, rather than Olivia. I just personally think I look more like a Liv, rather than an Olivia. As for the name Olivia being so popular now, I don't think that's really a bad thing, it's just a name, and if people like it, they should be able to name their kids it, who cares how popular or common it is, if that's what you want your child to be called for the rest of their life, then what other people think doesn't really matter."

"I have a 6-year old daughter I named Olivia. Always said my first was going to be Kiersten, but Olivia popped in my head in the middle of the night and there ya go. However, this was 2000, when you never ever heard it. Also, saw a comment last May from a 16 year old named Olivia Ryan. My daughter's full name is Olivia Suzanne Ryan. :o) Call her Livvie, Livvie Lou, Loopty, Liv, and Livia. It's a beautiful name, and she always gets comments." Mar. 15, 2007:

"My name is olivia. I love my name. Usually people call me Olivia, Livv, Or Livi. I wish they would call me me Lib or Libby. I really like that nickname alot better. Somethimes people call me Via or Olive, but I think that kind of dumb. One time my teacher spelled my name like: Olivea and scribbled out the E and wrote an I." Mar. 3, 2007:

"My name is Olivia. I am 16 years old. I am the only Olivia in my school. I love my name because it is really unique for people my age because it was not very popular when I was born. When I was younger, I would get so frustrated because it wasn't popular and I could never find the pencils, or the necklaces, or the stickers, or the mugs with my name on it. As the popularity of the name has increased I can find these items easier. And I love to get them. People tell me all the time what a pretty name it is and how much they like it. I don't know very many Olivias. I met one at camp last year and I think there might have been one at my old church but I'm not sure. It's nice not sharing a name with a ton of classmates like Brittanys have to. And because there are never many Olivias, I had a lot of nicknames that never stuck because they were unnecessary. Olivetree or Olive, both of which got real old real fast, and Livia, Liv, or Livvy are a few." Feb. 23, 2007:

"I have been carrying this name since 26 years and I have grown to love it more through the years. However, I write it Alivia. Initially I thought it was just a variant of Olivia, but I checked, the latin mening is "olive tree" and the spanish is "to alleviate". I am pleased to ease the pain of people around me. Its strange, how my parents chose such a name for an Indian kid." Jul. 29, 2006:

"I named my daughter Olivia Dawn also. We call her Liv, Livvy, Livia, the livster, midge or whatever.. lol.. I loved the name when I named her, I still love it !

"My name is Olivia, I am 14, and I love my name. No one I know in my age group has this name, and it makes me feel really special :) I also love how my friends can make the weirdest names out of it.. livvy,liv,olive, olive oil,livia, livo(my favorite),oliverd, olivine ollie.. and im sure many more to come. The one downside I find to this name is that people tend to pronounce it Ah-livia, instead of O-livia. Other than that, I think Olivia is a great name for a fun spirited, bouncy girl. My friends say that they can't picture my name being anything other than Olivia." Jun. 14, 2006:

"My name is Olivia- I'm 16 years old, and the only other person I've known my whole life with the same name as me is someone I met when I was very little. People say it's popular now, but I don't find that to be true where I live. My school is very very large, but still and all, I am one of two or three Olivia's. I didn't really like my name until I got older, especially my full name- Olivia Ryan, because Ryan is my great-great-grandmother's maiden name and it's been in my family.

"Perfect for unoriginal parents who are looking for a name to slap on their kid when they've run out of ideas. Reminds me of Olivia the pig." Feb. 6, 2019:

"The name Olivia sounds like absolute crap. It sounds like Olive which is really gross because it?s not even an appealing food. I know of a little girl named Olivia and she?s the most crustiest and dirty little girl I?ve ever met. Olivia is a name for spoiled ugly brats!" Nov. 18, 2017:

"This is my name but I hate this name, it sounds like olive and the name is so common and overused but when I was born the name was not as common" Aug. 17, 2014:

"I love the name Olivia. My best friend has this name and is often called Liv. She will be 16 in May. I think it's pretty but is way way too common. There were four Olivia's just from her elementary school. Now in high school there are even more. So now whenever speaking of an Olivia in order to know who is being talked about the grade she's in must first be clarified, then a bunch of Olivia's with different last names get listed. So for our 10th grade in our little-average sized town in Connecticut we have Olivia K., Olivia M., Olivia P., and Olivia S. Now just imagine if they all shared the same last initials as well."

I don't want to call her "O" or "Ollie" or Liv..... but I presume that eventually she will tag herself with a nick name - all children do at some point. Being an African American I think she would find (in Afo -Amer circles) she will find that her name is unique and rare...I like that, I hope she does." Apr. 6, 2009:

Like Liv, Livy, Livia, Olivia, etc. The way i pronounce my name is UH-LIV-E-UH, instead of o-liv-e-uh. I think it sounds better that way :) I know of only one other Olivia, and to be honest, it kind of annoys me to have the same name as them. Does anyone feel the same?

"my name is olevia catherine and kooky as it may sound -- i have all the personality quirks of a classical olivia, but i'm always just a little bit off..." Aug. 16, 2006:

"My husband and I are looking into Olivia Dawn as a possible name, who cares how popular is, I think the name is quaint and will go nicely with a boy named Isaac Wayne." Aug. 14, 2006:

"I'm 20 and thinking of changing my name to Olivia and I think its cute. Ive looked at lots of names and that one just keeps popping up." Jul. 16, 2006:

"I am 22 and my name is Olivia, i am surprised how many people don't know how to spell it properly, a problem that's happened my whole life. I love my name though!!! it's seems so serene." Jun. 21, 2006:

"and thats really weird that that person said they were gonna name their daughter olivia grace cuz my principal told me that his granddaughters naem is olivia grace" Jun. 2, 2006:

"I picked this name almost 20 years ago when I was in Jr. High for my first daughter. Since then, I've loved it more and more and am disappointed that now that she's on her way, it's such a popular name. We've thought of several other alternatives but like none better. As long as she knows that our choice had some duration and wasn't because of a flash in the pan trend, I guess she'll feel that her name is special. There's a lot of beautiful symbolism with peace and atonement that relate to the name Olivia." May. 27, 2006:

"I am expecting a baby girl in 10 days. We plan to name her Olivia Catherine. I think it's a beautiful, classic name and plan on nicknaming her Livvy and/or Liv!" Apr. 6, 2006:

"Ah, yes. Olivia. A lovely name everyone says! That is until people started calling me Olive Oil up until I turned sixteen. I hear it's pretty popular now, but to tell you the truth, I've never known any other Olivia's. It's not so bad when you get older and people stop calling you Oliver and ask if you've run into any Olive trees lately. Thank god you can get so many nicknames out of it. Sadly nobody gives me a simple nickname like "Liv" or "Livvy" So, now my Alias is named after a skateboard trick. "Olie" What's in a name anyway?" Apr. 4, 2006:

"i really like my name but its not the best i get called olvia newton-john of oliver all the time and it gets on my nerves sumtimes but other words i like it and i wudnt change it" Mar. 21, 2006:

"My 5 year old daughter is Olivia Ann and I always get compliments on how pretty the name is. I only know of 3 other little Olivia's so far, which I think is pretty usual, as there is no child out there with a name all there own" Mar. 14, 2006:

"the meaning is olive..i'd rather have a meaning like "pure" or something like that" Mar. 6, 2006:

"I am an "Olivia," and I am seventeen years old. Growing up, I didn't know any Olivias. I don't like the rising popularity of this name (I guess I like being "unique"), but I am very happy when I find mugs and small items with the name "Olivia" printed on them! By the way, I saw someone else named their daughter Olivia Rose - that's my name!" Feb. 28, 2006:

"They are really funnt, thats my best friends name and i have many nicknames for her.. like loo, liv, livi, livia and olive! haha! she is smart and outgoing!" Jan. 24, 2006:

"These comments are all OLD. Please post entries that are more recent before they too are several months' old. Thanks." Jan. 20, 2006:

"My daughter's name and we all love as does she and all her friends. Never had an adverse comment about her name. I think it is lovely and sounds so like music... and all the nicknames are like any others- what you make of them; people can pick apart and dminish anything. Our favorites through the years- Liv, Livvy, Livette, Livitsa, Livo...Oli, and Oyia ..because when my son was little he couldn't say Olivia! We also all call her "O" and it works out great! I am glad to know that Olivia has become a popular name. Two of my younger lady friends named their daughters Olivia. My daughter loves her name and has from the very start. She will probably name her daughter Athina or something with Grace. Both beautiful names." Jan. 11, 2006:

"Well, My name is Olivia and I love it! People say that it really "fits" my personality. Im surprised to hear that Olivia is a really common name. In my lifetime (Im 15) I've only met a couple of Olivias. Im constantly finding myself telling people who write my name to... CAPITALIZE IT! I feel that my name is really beautiful and important, So it deserves to be capitalized." Jan. 7, 2006:

"I know an Oliva Rose, and she is really nice. I am not a really big fan of this name, though. And i would hate to be called Liver, a name which she is often called" Nov. 29, 2005:

"The name Olivia makes me think of an teacher who is wise but very old." Nov. 26, 2005:

"I decided to name my daughter Olivia Mercedes after my grandmother and my husbands car. When i first signed her up for school the secretary said that sounded like an old womans name i said excuse me and she shut her mouth" Nov. 22, 2005:

"I never knew any Olivias growing up...I'm 42. There was Olivia de Haviland and Olivia Newtown John of course. I "discovered" it one day while out shopping and I heard a woman call the name (it turned out to be her 20 year old daughter) and I thought it sounded so lovely and elegant. I thought I was being original in 1998 when my second daughter was born. I named her Olivia Rose. I wouldn't change it of course but am disappointed to hear it so much. I wanted to give her a distinctly different name ! oops ! lol" Aug. 25, 2005:

"My name is Olivia and everybody made fun of me cuz in italy "olive oil" (popeye's fiance) was translated as "olivia" ...i' ve never liked spinach :(" Aug. 17, 2005:

"Pretty name, but currently there are about 3 Olivia's in every classroom" Jul. 20, 2005:

"Ah! The tortue, the humilitation, as in class after class, clueless substitute teachers would call out "Oliver" and the inevitable laughter and mocking would ensue. At the time this name was virtually unheard of, other than Olivia Newton John, but as I've got older I've grown to love it. It's a true joy to finally see my name emblazoned on the overpriced merchandise at gift shops. Finally I can drink with pride my tea out of my "Olivia" mug - true happiness." Jul. 3, 2005:

"I'm not a fan of this name. I always think of olives when I hear it. Besides, there are WAY too many Olivias!" Jul. 1, 2005:

"I remember when I was little I was the only person in school with my name and only new of two other Olivia's and they were famous... Olivia Newton John and Olivia Dehavaland... now there are little Olivia's everywhere...." Jun. 5, 2005:
