I will have a baby girl in four months and I’m choosing the name! i really like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and my husband agrees, but i know it’s very common right now. We thought of [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] because it’s similar to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and not common, but I’m not sure I want to give up on [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], it’s my favorite name!

Thank you! I really like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f].
Ophelia is my favorite, but if you love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] more, go for it! It is a beautiful and timeless name, even if it is pretty common right now.
I really love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I know its really popular but for a reason! I have a soft spot for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].
Plus I read [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is going to be exploding in popularity also so I’m not sure either choice is safe from being common really.
Ophelia is pretty dont get me wrong but I can’t help but think of the tragic [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] character. And I dont like that I have heard that [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is an easy name to make fun of with the words “feel ya” so I worry about that. But maybe I am overthinking it! Its pretty and getting more popular so the more popular it gets, the more everyone gets used to it. [name_u]Power[/name_u] in numbers!
I have [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] on my list. I actually like Olivienne but that’s a little more out there! Either choice is lovely 
I prefer [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] but if you love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] then go with it!
Here are some middles I think would work with either name.
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]

Personally, I prefer [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I know it’s super common, but I just don’t love the way [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] sounds. Regardless of my opinion, though, if [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is your favorite name, USE IT. You might regret giving it up for a knock-off just because it’s less popular. You should go with the name you love most, despite its popularity.
I think something short and sparky, maybe a little less common, would work well as a mn for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. Maybe something like…
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Shea[/name_u]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
I prefer [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but if you like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] better go for it!

Ophelia is becoming really popular too in the US, I think because people are looking for alternatives to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I say just go with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] if that’s the one you love!
From the [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] nameberry page:
“Off the list since 1958, [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] reentered the US Top 1000 in 2015, and rose more than 600 spots since then, with no signs of slowing down.”
Olivia is so pretty! Definitely popular for good reason. And the nicknames–[name_u]Ollie[/name_u], [name_f]Livy[/name_f], etc.–are adorable. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is one of those names I really want to like, because it has lots of great qualities, but it’s not my personal favorite. It’s a nice name, but if you prefer [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], I would definitely go with that! I don’t think popularity should be a dealbreaker for a favorite name 
I prefer either of these names with something on the shorter side and not too frilly in the middle. And especially if you do choose [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], you could always balance it with something a little bolder in the middle spot!
I prefer [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]! It’s so beautiful and sleek.
I prefer [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] even though it’s common.
I second the suggestions of [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]!
I’ll suggest [name_f]Aviva[/name_f], [name_f]Vivia[/name_f], and [name_f]Viviana[/name_f].
If [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is your favorite name, use [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]! Popularity only matters so much.
I think something spunky and a little more unusual would work for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

Thank you. I like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f].
Ophelia! I feel like everyone I know is has a daughter or niece named [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. And I’m just not fond of the name for some reason. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is a bit exotic, it’s a reference to a Shakespearean heroine, and it also calls to mind the fairy tale heroine [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] from [name_m]Pan[/name_m]’s Labyrinth.
