I like the name [name_f]Olga[/name_f], but I’m inclined to Oliya also. I pronounce it as Marylander though, and say o-LEE-a.

I think it’s super cute.

I do think it’s cute, I can see it confused with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] if handwritten if someone doesn’t see the tail on the y. I am happy you like [name_f]Olga[/name_f] too, I don’t see it used often

Agreed.

It’s a fun update to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] but I would pronounce it OLE-yuh or OLE-ee-uh on first glance.

It’s a sweet and interesting sounding name! I would be tempted to pronounce it as @SparkleNinja18 does

I like [name_f]Olga[/name_f] and Oliya.
I would say it O-Leah / Ol-Leah / Ollie-ya

I like both Oh-LEE-yuh and Oh-LYE-yuh better then [name_f]Olga[/name_f]. [name_f]Olga[/name_f] seems dated and may be disappointing to a child, but maybe not. [name_f]Olia[/name_f] makes the pronunciation more obvious. I prefer Oliyah spelling, but Oliya is good. I am not a huge fan of [name_m]Ol[/name_m] names on girls, so Aaliyah/Aleya/Aliya are preferable to me.

I can picture about 5 different ways to say it. I would keep looking.

I always misread the name [name_f]Olia[/name_f] (from Olga) from ‘children just like me’ as oh-LEE-uh and always really loved it.

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] nn. [name_f]Olia[/name_f] is a great option I’ve recently discovered to bring back my [name_f]Olia[/name_f] love.

I like Oliya! That’s a really cool name!
