One of my absolute favourite names. I think it could definitely suit an adult. It is a timeless name that feels vintage but not trendy. Great choice.

I actually teach a little three year old [name_f]Olive[/name_f]! It helps that she is utterly adorable and a complete doll, but she has really made me love the name. I wasn’t too fussed about it before, and then I met her and it’s become one of my favourites at the moment! :two_hearts: As I can’t see past my little three year old for now, I’m not sure I can justifiably say that it will hold up well, but it’s definitely one that I’d love to see become more popular.

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] is lovely timeless name a favourite of mine that suits all ages.

I know one little girl named [name_f]Olive[/name_f] she’s 5 years old and so sweet

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] is cute and quirky!

I don’t know one personally but I have overheard one and it suited her well

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it

I adore the name [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. It’s quirky but very wearable, especially with the nickname Oli. I’ve come across a few children with the name but no adults. In saying that, I’ve just recently read a book in which one of the main characters - a woman in her thirties - was [name_f]Olive[/name_f] nn Oli and it definitely felt like it worked on a grown woman.

I like [name_f]Olive[/name_f]! I think it’s cute on any age which is great. It feels like an alternative for the ever so popular [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] but with more spunk.

I really like [name_f]Olive[/name_f]! It’s not a name I can use personally but I feel like she has the old-fashioned spunk of [name_f]Maud[/name_f] and [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], but with a little bit more familiarity because of the similar Olivia/Oliver.

I absolutely love Olive. It’s so fresh and nature-y. I definitely think it could work on all ages, especially with the nickname Liv.

i adore olive :herb:

she has been one of my top names for the longest time, and that will probably never change. imo, she gives off quirky and down-to-earth vibes, and fits in with a lot of current name trends- without being too trendy!

[name_f]My[/name_f] 3 year old daughter is [name_f]Olive[/name_f]! So I obviously love it.
Nice to read all the positive feedback.

I know of two other toddlers called [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. It’s a bit more popular than I would like but no regrets. I love that it’s sweet but strong sounding. She called herself Oli when she couldn’t pronounce the “ve” part and it’s stuck as a nn

I really love [name_f]Olive[/name_f], it’s cute but has a wonderful solid sound, no frills. Definitely a spunky name that I think fits perfectly at all ages.

I love [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. If I didn’t have a ton of Olivers in my family it would be right at the top of my list !!

I adore [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. It’s fun but not childish at all, I think it works well for every age.

I used to dislike it a lot, but I will admit that it has grown on me to the point that I now find it utterly charming.
