With [name_f]Olive[/name_f], it’s nice enough but each point in its favour is outweighed by other names I like more. I like the color green and the tree… but prefer [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. I like the vowel beginning, but prefer [name_f]Opal[/name_f]. I like the edgy buzzy v sound but prefer [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] or [name_f]Livia[/name_f]. I like the image of peace, but prefer names that mean dove. There’s nothing really WRONG with [name_f]Olive[/name_f] but somehow it’s always a runner up for me.
I really like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. It has a light sound, but a rich history. I like a lot of Greek names that end in -e, I find them the right balance of not too viciously clunky but not too made up. And it’s a moon name, which gives it a special evening charm for me.
