What do you think of carrying the name?

Question

I am SO close to my Grandma and I wanted to name one of my kids after her well her name is Olive Sylvia and for a nickname I will call her Olivia what do you think?

Answer 1

I think Olivia is lovely - it's getting somewhat popular these days, but it has sentimental value to you, so it means more.  I think it's an honour to be named after somebody your parents love and are close to - I was named after my great grandma.

Answer 2

I like the name Olvia a lot. I don't like just Olive though because of the food.

Answer 3

if you'll call her olivia that is really cute and it's sweet you want to name her after your grandma

congratulations and hope it helps!  

Answer 4

Beautiful

Answer 5

That is pretty, but how is Olivia a nickname for Olive, whe  you will need a nickname for Olivia anyway.  What about Liv or Livvy for a nickname instead?  or you could name her Sylvia Olive so people don't confuse your grandma and your baby.

Answer 6

Olivia---and call her Olive

or you can name the first name Sylvia and the middle name Olive.

Answer 7

I love that!!!! Congrats!

Answer 8

It's very pretty, though I think "Liv" or "Livie" would be a cute nickname as well.  Olivia is really climbing in popularity (ranked number 7 for the past 2 years), but Olive is still fairly uncommon (2007 was the first time it ranked in the top 1000 in at least 18 years-it was number 999)!  I also think it's very important to give your children names with sentimental value, rather than just picking something from a baby name book.
