We just found out we are expecting our third. This baby will have older sisters [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]. When we had asked our oldest what she would name a new baby, she said [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] for a girl, and it kind of stuck with us. I feel like it’s cute for a nickname but would need a fuller name.
I’m not really inclined for [name_f]Olive[/name_f] or [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. The only other names that I really came up with were [name_f]Olympia[/name_f] or [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but my cousin just used [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] for her daughter’s middle name.
I actually thought of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] and [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] sound kind of similar. Not sure if it’s too popular for you.
What about using initials? [name_m]OL[/name_m] could easily turn into [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]. I like [name_f]Odessa[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] because it’s a geographical name like [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and shares [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]'s L-initial without sounding too similar. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] still seem useable as well since it’s your cousin’s baby’s middle name, not her first name.
All I could think of are Ottilie, Caroline, and Gwendolin. Some people have nicknames that don’t relate to their full name at all so maybe pick out another name you like and you could call her Ollie. Or add another letter to the beginning. So, like Polly, Holy, Jolly, Molly, Dolly, etc. I think most of those could work as full names. There are so many babies being named nicknames like Indie, Sadie, Kit, Fox, Coco, Willa, Max, Nate, Theo, Rory, and so on. If you wanted to just name her Ollie she wouldn’t be much of an outcast in her class.
And since I see you are now having a boy. Oliver or Colyn could be full names for the nn Ollie.
