Background: My husband and I are trying to pick a girl’s name for our baby who is due very soon. I thought it would be fun to do a baby name bracket on here and see what the “winning” name is. Over the coming days, there will be 8 names pitted against each other in total, with the winning name from each bracket advancing to the next round. As for the middle name, we had one picked out but have since put it aside and will select a middle name based on what goes with the first name we land on.
So with that said, let’s go! Olivia vs. Anna!
Please feel free to also comment below about your choice!
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] for sure, I love the nicknames you can use (Liv, [name_f]Livvy[/name_f], Ollie). I just find [name_f]Anna[/name_f] to be…bland…Sorry just my opinion!
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] feels overused right now, while [name_f]Anna[/name_f] feels classic and timeless! I also adore the nickname [name_f]Annie[/name_f]!
I went with the classic and timeless [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. [name_f]Livia[/name_f] or [name_f]Liv[/name_f] would have won out over [name_f]Anna[/name_f], but [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], while objectively nice, just isn’t my personal favorite.
So interesting! I really thought there would be more love for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] since it’s so popular! But maybe ironically that’s why more of you are drawn to [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
Thanks for the votes and comments so far! This has been fun
I prefer [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. It’s a beautiful, melodic name! [name_f]Anna[/name_f] strikes me as kinda boring, sorry. No idea why! I love classic names, including [name_u]Anne[/name_u] and [name_f]Annie[/name_f]!
I like both, but [name_f]Anna[/name_f] feels just a bit more timeless. Also, completely biased opinion but I’ve never met an [name_f]Anna[/name_f] who wasn’t an absolute angel.
It was very hard to choose between these two, because they’re both timeless classics. I gave my vote to [name_f]Anna[/name_f] - ultimately, it feels lighter than [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].
However, I adore the nickname [name_f]Via[/name_f] for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]!
[name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s soo popular, I would still go with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. It’s very classic and timeless. Otherwise I would chose [name_f]Anya[/name_f] over [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
Although I love both names, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] stands out to me more because it’s such a sweet yet strong name. I’m always reminded of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] from Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] and [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables, both of whom were strong women.
