My first and middle names are INCREDIBLY common. Do you still think they are pretty??

Question

Ok so my name is Olivia Marie and my last name starts with a C but i cant tell it. I think it blends well and i like it myself. i know they are REALLY common names but marie is a family name and my parents actualy thought they were being different when they named me olivia cuz they didnt know it was popular. what do you think of it?

Answer 1

That is a pretty name.  Your name isn't quite as common as Jennifer, so you can be happy about that!

It's weird about names--they kinda go in cycles.  There are a few Bible names that are always popular.  Apart from that, popular names cycle around every twenty-five years or so.  Everyone is named something, the parents look for something different, and everyone decides that Trevor is a cool name and when they get to kindergarten there are three Trevors there!  Other times pop culture has an influence--how many kids were named Dylan before 90210--just a few who had parents into folk music.  Now there are Dylans everywhere.  

Apparently your parents picked out the prettiest name they could that wasn't being used by too many people, and so did a bunch of other kid's parents.  

Answer 2

I think its a beautiful name! Marie is my middle name too :)

I know Olivia is supposed to be common, but I don't actually know anyone with the name :)

Answer 3

Olivia is common but it is VERY cute I know alot of people named that I LOVE THAT NAME I do love marie to Alot of my friends middle names are Marie

Answer 4

Oliva Marie----makes me think of some girl who thinks she is sooo popular but is really the alltime geek of the school  =(

sorry

Answer 5

Depending on your age Olivia probably was not popular at the time. Olivia Marie is a beautiful name. You are who makes you unique not your name.  

Answer 6

Your name is s**y and full of meaning

The name Olivia is a popular name of Latin and Old Norse origin with its basic meaning being an Olive tree. The olive tree is a symbol of peace and dignity but also of beauty; the name often represents a kind and generous person. The name also has a literary reference; Shakespeare named the lady aristocrat in his play. Marie is a feminine name

Answer 7

Why does it matter how popular a name is? I don't get this preoccupation with finding 'different' names to call your kids. Shouldn't it just matter that it's nice? Everyone is an individual anyway without having to be called something 'that stands out'.

And I love Olivia Marie. It's a gorgeous name.

Answer 8

V. Pretty :) And not actually that common - even if they are, common just means lots of people think its a gorgeous name :)

Lucky you to have such a lovely name.

Olivia also means Peace which is really sweet.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 9

yes, it is very, very common, but it is a beautiful name. my daughter's middle name is Marie also, and it is a family name also.

all the Olivia's i know are pretty, smart, talented, and well-liked.

Answer 10

Olivia started to become common about 10 years ago; before that, it was an "old lady" name.  I only know of one Olivia, and she is "Liv" or "Livi" which I think is really cute.  Marie is my favorite middle name, no matter how common it may be, it's simply beautiful!

Answer 11

Olivia Marie is a beautiful name i love it

even though its popular who cares and i think that Marie goes great with it

Answer 12

I think Olivia is pretty, and to tell you the truth I don't hear it all that often around here at all.  Marie isn't my favorite, but it is pretty.  The important thing isn't what we think, but what you think.  If it was me, since Marie is a family name, I would think it was beautiful and be proud to have it.

Answer 13

I like Olivia, but dislike marie, but I think thats only because thats my middle name, though I spell it Maree.

Answer 14

i have a 7wk old daughter and her name is Summer but her middle name is Maree we spelled it differently and i like the name Olivia its pretty

Answer 15

I think Olivia only became popular recently.  I still think it is a beautiful name, but there are a lot of little ones with the name.  At least it's still not as popular as Sarah or Emily.  Marie is a really nice name and totally under appreciated.  I think it's beautiful for a first name, even though people tend to only use it as a middle name.

Answer 16

First of all, it's too late to hate it, so don't worry about it. Second of all, I love your name.

Answer 17

I like it. The only common names that are on my nerves are all of the " Aiden " names or however you want to spell them. They annoy me because there are just so many of those Aiden names.

Answer 18

  I think your name is the only part of you that is incredibly common! You are special + unique in your own right!You are as God made you, special, and uncommon as you can get; there is no one anywhere like you, and that's how you were made,there is only  ONE OF YOU! So, let your name be common, because you are not!

Answer 19

My parents thought the same thing when they were naming me Samantha Rose. I agree that it can be a bit boring having a popular name, but at the same time I think mine is very pretty and I am proud of it.

Olivia Marie is a gorgeous elegant name, you're lucky to have it.

Answer 20

Olivia doesnt seem too popular...i only know of a few people with that name. Marie is a very common middle name, but if its a family name, i think that its fine. I just dont like it when people go with the middle name Marie because they cant think of anything better. As long as you're fine with your name, then you're good to go!

Answer 21

I love the name Olivia.

My cousin just named her baby Olivia Marie actually lol.

Answer 22

Olivia is a beautiful name, and my middle name is Marie too. So it's a common middle name... Doesn't make it bad.

You have a very pretty name. I almost named my daughter that =)

Answer 23

i like it its really girly pretty combination.. mines boring... laura-jane

pfft!
