I am still so torn and hope you can shed some light for me. I can’t seem to decide between these 5 names. I am using [name]Marlowe[/name] for a middle name unless it’s an “M” name and I love [name]Olivia[/name] but fear it is so overtly used. What are your thoughts?
[name]Love[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name]! Yes, [name]Olivia[/name] is popular but it’s such a beautiful name. I love the connection to [name]Shakespeare[/name], and it has so many lovely nicknames ([name]Olive[/name], [name]Liv[/name], [name]Livy[/name], [name]Lia[/name], [name]Via[/name], [name]Ollie[/name], and there’s even more out-there nn options like [name]Libby[/name], [name]Lily[/name], or [name]Ivy[/name]…). I grew up with a popular name and it never negatively affected me–in fact, I rather enjoyed it. I love meeting little Olivias.
I like [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name] the best. I also like [name]Miranda[/name] [name]Camille[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] is so sweet. I also like [name]Marlo[/name] in this form as a first name. [name]Marlo[/name] [name]Adriana[/name] is pretty. I do think [name]Olivia[/name] is overly popular, but if you love it she would be Your [name]Olivia[/name]. Good luck
I do think that [name]Olivia[/name] is overused. Tragedy, because I do like the name… but not enough to put my daughter in a class with 3 others!
I love the bottom 3 from your list.
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Camille[/name] : you don’t hear miranda much. and i honestly wouldnt even be drawn to it but miranda kerr has changed my mind on it. haha it has a lot of fun nn’s as well.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Marlow[/name] (I like the “w”, makes more feminine I think) : [name]Genevieve[/name] to me is classic. I hear lots of buzz about it on this forum, but have never personally met anyone with the name. If my daughter was [name]Genevieve[/name] I’d probably call her “vivie” a lot!
[name]Adriana[/name] [name]Marlow[/name] : [name]Adriana[/name] is a name that makes me visualize a beautiful girl. I like this one and it has potential to grow on me even more…
[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name] is so sweet. I also like [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Marlowe[/name]…beautiful names. I totally agree with what crimsoncat said about [name]Olivia[/name]. Well said!
If you can’t decide, perhaps narrow it down to your top three and then when you have your little girl, you can see which one fits her best.
The only name on your list I don’t love is [name]Adriana[/name]. The others are fabulous. If you like the others as much as [name]Olivia[/name], then I would choose a less popular option. However, don’t pick a less popular option just because it’s less popular.
I love [name]Olivia[/name]! Not a fan of [name]Marlow[/name], but in the middle name slot, I dont mind so much. I absolutely adore [name]Louisa[/name]!
